In terms of weight, metal is a lightweight substrate. Metal weighs about 40 to 120 pounds per square as opposed to asphalt /fiberglass shingles at 210 to 350 pounds per square, wood shingles/shakes at 200 to 300 pounds per square (400 to 600 pounds per square when wet), and clay/cement tiles that weight 800 to 1,000 pounds per square. Metal offers a light roof for pre-owned homes with structural weakness. In new construction, metal offers savings in the structural design of a home because of its light weight.
