Most conventional roofing materials (wood shake, composition, concrete tile) fail because they dry out, become brittle and crack with age.
Metal roofing is widely respected for it’s hail resistance. Interlock® Shingle passes UL2218 Hail Impact Resistance Test, the industry benchmark.
Metal roofing is often quieter than other roofing materials, including asphalt composition. When installed with solid sheathing it actually reduces noise from hail and rain.
Aluminum can weigh as little as 1/20th the weight of other roofing materials. It is generally the lowest weight roofing available.
