Aluminum is a light-weight and highly resistant to corrosion, salt, sun exposure or moisture. Century ago aluminum was considered a precious metal and often valued more than gold due to its rarity and manufacturing complications. Today it is a common material in construction, electronics, and many other industries, however, it still does not come cheap. Compared to other metal roofing types, aluminum is quite expensive, however, its lifespan can be way longer than steel has if not exposed to mechanical damage risks such as hails or strong winds. Plus, aluminum is 100% recyclable and eco-friendly material.

Steel is a type of metal which is, in fact, an alloy that might feature various impurities. Classic steel is made of raw iron with minor carbon (around 1%) addition. Regular steel can be upgraded further with adding aluminum, zinc, cobalt, nickel and other elements that increase material’s durability for certain conditions. For instance, stainless steel features chromium, silicon, nickel, etc., and is considered the high-end solution for roofing for its strength (it is literally bulletproof), durability, and aging resistance.
