"Metal roofs — made from steel, aluminum and copper — offer a number of benefits. They're more fire-resistant than cedar shakes or cedar shingles, more wind-resistant than asphalt shingles, and more earthquake-resistant than tiles. And because they come in a variety of colors, patterns and textures — resembling red brick tiles for example — they can be selected to fit with most any part of the country."
