This article explains why insurers favour metal roofs, what discounts you can get and how to maximize your savings by combining durability, insulation and protection. Why insurers prefer metal Home insurance companies calculate their premiums based on the level of risk associated with your property. The roof is the first line of defence against the elements. As a result, its material plays a key role in the assessment. A metal roof resists fire, wind, hail and snow much better than asphalt shingles. This superior resistance considerably reduces the risk of costly claims. Insurers know this and therefore adjust their rates accordingly. In addition, a metal roof can last 50 years or more. A new, durable roof eliminates the risks associated with an aging roof. In Quebec, some insurers even refuse to cover roofs over 20 years old without a specific exclusion. What discount can you expect? Savings generally range from 5% to 35%, depending on your location and your insurance company. Several factors determine the exact discount you\u2019ll receive. Age of the roof: a new roof generates a larger discount than an aging one. After installation, contact your insurer to have your coverage reassessed. Impact resistance: metal roofs rated UL 2218 (Class 4) offer the best discounts. This certification confirms that the material withstands hail impacts. Fire resistance: metal generally holds a Class A rating. This classification reassures insurers and may lead to an additional discount. Region: areas prone to storms, hail or high winds often benefit from higher discounts. To get the best rate, ask your insurer which documents it requires. An installation certificate and proof of UL compliance are usually enough. Insulation: an often-overlooked factor Good insulation under your metal roof doesn\u2019t just lower your heating costs. It also protects your home against damage that could lead to home insurance claims. A poorly insulated roof encourages ice dams to form in winter. Water then seeps under the materials and damages ceilings, walls and the framing. This water damage is among the most frequent claims in Quebec.
