What are the advantages and disadvantages of using aluminum strips in roofing?

Aluminum strips in roofing offer several advantages such as durability, resistance to corrosion and rust, lightweight nature, and low maintenance requirements. They are also energy-efficient, reflecting heat and reducing cooling costs. Additionally, aluminum strips can be easily recycled, contributing to environmental sustainability. However, there are downsides, including higher initial costs compared to other roofing materials and potential for denting if not properly installed or maintained. Aluminum can also be noisy during rain, and may require more frequent replacement due to its lighter gauge compared to some other materials.
