Get Better Insulation and Energy Ratings With A-Lert
Standing seam metal roofs have been expanding from their strictly industrial roots to become more of an architectural statement over the past few years. With a wide selection of colors and a sleek look, metal roofing can now be found on all types of structures — including upscale housing, restaurants, retail businesses, civic buildings, schools, military buildings, and churches, and their energy-efficient ways are benefitting more and more people.
The Energy Costs You Save With Standing Seam Metal:
- Because metal roofing can be applied directly over existing roofing, you get two layers of roof insulation automatically
- Our systems leave room for added insulation
- Solar can be easily applied to generate your own energy
- Built-in ventilation keeps the roof from trapping heat to unsafe or inefficient levels
- Our roofs even come in a wide range of colors to keep your building from becoming a “heat island”

How Metal Roofs Are Energy Efficient
Energy efficiency is a major benefit of standing seam metal roofs. One of the least apparent, but most costly effects of a leaky roof is the damage to insulation. Wet insulation loses its design qualities and fails to provide a barrier against heat and cold. The A-Lert system also makes adding insulation very easy so that additional energy savings can be realized.
A-Lert offers a range of colors that meet Energy Star requirements for Solar Reflectance on both low slope and high slope roofs. See the color selection chart to see which colors qualify.
Attractive colored panels can be integrated with other design elements to improve the appearance of a building and to match the owner’s style or brand.
