In this month's blog, we're covering current trends in home exteriors, aesthetics versus performance, and long-term solutions.We're putting Enviroshake in the hot seat with metal roofs to find out what sets these two materials apart.

Aesthetics

Many homeowners, builders, and architects are choosing metal roofs for the modern, contemporary aesthetic.Black standing seam metal is currently one of the most popular trends in home exteriors, especially on newer farmhouses with white siding.

While the contrast of the black metal with white panels creates a beautiful, finished look on these modern homes, the performance of the metal falls short.

Enviroshake's Onyx Black color offers property owners the same sleek, modern look that's trending, but with the unbeatable performance that never goes out of style.

Many of our customers use metal as an accent material on their roof and leave the majority of their home protection to Enviroshake.

Trends may not always last, but Enviroshake does!

Performance

Enviroshake's Class 4 UL 2218 Impact rating keeps you and your family safe from all kinds of harsh conditions.Our third party testing as well as decades of proven performance is what makes Enviroshake an industry-leading material.

Metal roofs can be extremely noisy during heavy rain or hailstorms and the material is often susceptible to denting from impact.Metal roofs can also corrode as a result of standing water or damage to the protective coating.

Metal doesn't outlast harsh conditions the way that Enviroshake does.

Longevity

Backed by our fully transferable limited lifetime warranty of 50 years, Enviroshake allows you to rest assured that your home is protected.

Metal warranties may not cover you at certain wind speeds or in extreme storms, and if you need to get on your roof to clean gutters, check for damage, or even hang up Christmas lights, you may risk voiding your warranty by walking on your roof.

Enviroshake, on the other hand, is safe to walk on when dry and doing so will not void your warranty.With Enviroshake's warranty you won't have to worry about how high the wind speeds are or how extreme the weather gets.You can feel confident that you're protected.

Metal roofs don't give you the reassurance that Enviroshake does.

I had an aluminum standing seam metal roof of which the manufacturer would not fully stand behind their written warranty.Over a period of one year there were several back and forth arguments over it.Then we had a hail storm that totally ruined the metal roof.

I spent several weeks of research looking for a different and superior roof system.My search kept leading me to a synthetic roof system, which I knew nothing about.I kept up my research about this product of which I found 3 producers, after a deep dive into this and several conversations with the 3 manufacturers I settled in on Enviroshake because of their superior product and 100% warranty against hail, which no one else could beat.

WHAT A GOOD DECISION THIS TURNED OUT TO BE!….I could not be more satisfied!I WILL NEVER USE A METAL ROOFING PRODUCT AGAIN ON ANY OF MY PROPERTIES.I rarely issue any reviews, but I figured the entire country needs to know about this product and the installer!I rate Enviroshake … 5 out of 5 stars!!
