Metal roofs have been popular with builders since ancient times. And they continue to be popular in the 21st century for essentially the same reasons that metal roofs appealed to Roman engineers: They are lightweight, durable, and relatively economical. An additional appeal in today's new construction market is that metal roofs can impart a traditional, historic look at a fraction of the cost of slate, tile, or wood shingles.
