Color and aesthetics
Metal roofing panels come in a wide variety of colors and styles. The curb appeal of a metal roof is often an attraction for home-buyers, and a value-increasing investment.
Sustainable Roofing
With growing concerns of climate change, many consumers are looking for sustainable alternatives in all possible aspects.
People are looking to use more recycled and eco-friendly materials when available. The Metal-Tech Production inc. supports this trending behavior in North America, saying that homeowners are looking to avoid disposable, throw-away products that will only last for a few years.
The service life of a metal roof can span 50 years or longer, which is two to three times longer than a traditional asphalt roof. Because metal roofing systems are made from a high percentage of recycled materials, they can be 100% recyclable at the end of their service life. These features resonate with homeowners looking to implement eco-friendly products and reduce their carbon footprint.

Superior Functionality
Homeowners also want these materials to be highly durable and functional. With increasingly severe weather patterns, including heavy snowfall and more frequent hurricane activity, homeowners are looking for materials that will stand against these harsh conditions.
Metal roofing systems can endure harsher conditions better than other systems. Metal roofs are more likely to withstand hail, wind, fire, and storm damage.


Design Versatility
Homeowners and architects are beginning to implement metal in more exciting ways. With more color options available than any other roofing type, metal roofing can meet the demands of your style preferences.
Darker exteriors are taking precedence for those wanting to create a striking yet still natural look and blend in with natural surroundings. Green is also trending as a home exterior color option.
In 2022, consumers will be more thoughtful and intentional about what products they select and use. Products and materials must be eco-friendly yet also high-performing.
- Contrasting Colors
Using this contrast of colors between the roof and siding or brick adds an element of vibrance to your home. Matching colors could provide a minimalist look, but many homeowners now want that contrast to differentiate the home’s exterior details. This roof contrast can be done in coordination with the siding, shutters, window trim, and door.
