Choosing a color for your new metal roof is an exciting process, especially today, when you have more options available to you than ever before.
It is important not to get lost in this sea of choices and keep in mind that the color you choose will greatly affect the overall look and feel of your home.
Therefore, take your time and research a variety of color options, as well as consider a number of practical and aesthetic factors that are associated with various colors.
Here are a few considerations to keep in mind to help you successfully navigate all your metal roof color options, and pick the one that will be the best fit for your home:
Quality of paint
It is crucial to select a high quality paint for your metal roof that will stand up to the elements, while looking fresh and new for years to come. Make sure to choose a paint that has been treated with a special acrylic resin that blocks ultraviolet light.
It will help prevent premature fading, peeling, corrosion, rust and water infiltration. It is also possible to apply different types of coatings and sealants as an additional protective layer, which will make the paint last longer, and will protect the metal from sun rays, moisture and mildew. The current industry standard is the “Kynar” paint finish that comes with a 30 year warranty.
