How do aluminum sheets compare to other types of roofing materials?

Aluminum sheets are lightweight and highly durable, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering. They are energy-efficient, reflecting heat and reducing cooling costs. Compared to materials like asphalt shingles, aluminum is more expensive but lasts longer, with a lifespan of 40-50 years. Unlike clay or concrete tiles, aluminum is less prone to breakage and is easier to install. It also doesn't rot or warp like wood, and it's fire-resistant. However, it can be noisy during rain and is less visually appealing than some other materials, but its modern and sleek appearance can be a design advantage.
