Why is the durable, environmentally sustainabler, net cheapest option always the one that is out of reach for the average person? It would look so swag. My crow brain is HEAVING! I want to live in the shiny penny house.
Also could anyone who has put on a metal roof share about their experience? Did it feel worth it? I'm planning to die in this house and I'm still young.
I have a corrugated sheet metal roof, I didn't realise metal roofing wasn't common anywhere else. In Australia metal roofs are about 99% of new houses, it's by far the cheapest option, durable, easy to install.
Shit is like 2-3 more expensive in the U$ than shingle. I would love to have metal roofing.
Yeah that's wild. I'm sure shingles would be an option over here, ive never seen it and i doubt it would be any cheaper than sheet metal. Especially factoring in labour costs and definitely would not be cheaper accounting for the durability, im not expecting to have to replace my roof ever.
Yeah, metal roofing lasts decades. Asphalt's a byproduct of oil refining. I'm sure somebody's making a lot of money off of it over here.
If you tried to use asphalt shingles in Australia you'd have tar running down your walls after a couple summers.
Anyway you think that's bad, wait until you see how much people in US have to pay for solar
How loud is hail?
Hmmm, guess its pretty loud? idk, it doesn't really hail enough that i've really thought it. The sound of rain is nice and cosy though.
It can get pretty loud, but the sound of rain makes it all ok.
It sounds pretty similar to very heavy rain, there's a slight difference in pitch
I've mostly had terracotta tiled roofs growing up but yeah metal is common.
It's so hot in this room during summer. I want to live under a block of ice
