TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOR METAL ROOF

• Nowadays, there are far more choices when it
  comes to choosing a coloured metal roof, but its
  important not to get carried away and choose your
  favourite colour without properly considering the
  impact it will have on the overall look of your
  property.
• Here are a few tips for selecting the right
  colour metal roof for your home
• Consider the quality of the paint finish
• Anything other than a high-quality paint for your
  metal roof, is not even worth considering, no
  matter how much money it might save you. It will
  need to stand up against the elements and
  continue to look fresh and vibrant for many years
  to come.

• Try to choose a paint that has been treated with
  an acrylic resin since this will help to block
  ultraviolet rays and prevent it from fading
  prematurely or peeling and corroding.
• For an additional layer of protection for your
  metal roof, you can have a coating or sealant
  applied that will protect the metal from the
  harsh rays of the sun, moisture and even mildew.
• What style is your home?
• The style of your home will naturally affect the
  colour of roof that you choose, so think about
  matching the colour to the exterior elements of
  your home, and think carefully about the colour
  of the siding,

• the doors, windows and even the landscape. For
  the most unified and aesthetically pleasing look,
  its advisable to select a colour of roof that
  compliments the colour of your home, rather than
  starkly contrasting with it. However, if you want
  to create a look that stands out and is unique,
  then you can go for a roof that adds a pop of
  colour to your home.
• When looking at colour samples, always view them
  both during daylight hours and when the sun is
  going up or down to make sure that you still like
  the colour when the light is bright or fading.
• You also have the option of selecting a bare
  metal roof, such as stainless steel, titanium or
  copper and zinc to name but a few, which can add
  a distinctive and elegant aspect to your home.

• Think about a dark roof versus a light one
• The shade of colour that you choose for your roof
  can have a huge impact on the overall look of
  your home, for example, a light coloured roof
  will make your home look taller and can enhance
  it if the property has a low roof or a shallow
  pitch, while a darker coloured roof can make a
  tall roof look less dominant or overwhelming
