BENEFITS OF GOING METAL
Here at Thunder Mountain Metal, we’re passionate about helping you make the best choice for your home’s roofing needs. Let’s explore the key advantages of metal panel roofs over traditional asphalt shingles:
ENERGY SAVINGS
Did you know a metal panel roof can save you up to 40% on energy costs? Our ENERGY-EFFICIENT, Cool Roof-rated painted metal panels reflect solar heat, reducing the cooling load on your home. With Thunder Mountain Metal, you can enjoy lower energy bills and a more comfortable home year-round.
Unlike asphalt or wood shingles, metal roofs resist burning embers and hold up better against high winds. These safety features can save homeowners up to 35% on insurance premiums—peace of mind that pays for itself.
Metal panels require minimal upkeep—just a quick rinse with water or light detergent for tougher dirt deposits. Regular cleaning keeps your roof looking brand new for years to come.
Invest once, and you’re set for life! Metal panel roofs are built to last for decades, making them the last roof you’ll ever need.
A quality metal roof is a smart investment, increasing home value and retaining up to 95% of its cost at resale. Buyers love the durability, style, and energy efficiency that metal roofs provide.
Metal panel roofs come in a variety of profiles and colors to elevate the curb appeal of any home style. At Thunder Mountain Metal, we’ll help you find the perfect look to complement your project.
Steel is the #1 recycled material in the world, and our residential metal roofs are made with a minimum of 30% recycled steel. Unlike asphalt shingles—which are rarely recycled and contribute heavily to landfill waste—our panels, trims, and more are proudly made from USA STEEL, reducing environmental impact.

MYTH BUSTERS
This likely stems from a common experience with the sound that rain makes on old barns and worn buildings. The difference between a barn and residential roof is a solid roof deck. This deck combined with underlayment dampens noise, resulting in a residential metal roof that is no more or less noisy than any other type of roof.
Metal roofing is very durable. You can safely walk on a metal roof without causing damage to the panel. Having a solid roof deck provides extra stability to hold a person’s weight.
Metal roofs have come a long way. Metal Sales roofing features a protective Galvalume® or galvanized coating over the base metal and employ high-quality color systems that carry industry-leading warranties. The advanced alloys in these protective coatings ensure that your metal roof will remain impervious to corrosion for decades to come.
Lightning strikes the highest point in an area, regardless of the material of the impact point. Metal roofs have the same chance of being struck as asphalt shingle, slate, wood or any other type of roof material.
All roofs get hot. However, metal roofs come in a variety of ‘cool’ colors that reflect solar heat. Metal also releases solar heat quicker than asphalt shingles, actually reducing the heat load on a home. According to the Heat Island Group of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, reflective metal roofs reduce the need for cooling buildings during hot summer months by up to 40%, saving energy and money.
