Fact: As one of the most energy-efficient roofing materials, metal reflects heat from the sun up and away from the home, unlike asphalt roofs which absorb heat like a sponge. In addition to the heat-reflecting characteristics of metal, DECRA roofs are installed with airspace between the roof deck and roof panel.
In the winter months, this airspace provides an extra insulating layer to keep the warm air circulating inside your home without escaping. As a result, your house remains warm.
In the summer months, this provides the maximum airspace to allow heated air to escape up and away from your home through the ridge vents or other vents on your roof. As a result, your house remains cool.
