Have you ever said to yourself, "Wow, I'd love a metal roof! They come in all these neat colors and shapes. Too bad it would turn my house into a lightning rod."
Well, good news! Putting a metal roof on your home does NOT increase the likelihood of your home being struck by lightning. That's because lightning is attracted to the highest point - and that's not necessarily your roof. And here's a little bonus for all your metal roof owners - metal roofs can actually help PREVENT your home from catching on fire if it is in fact struck by lightning. Metal roofs are noncombustible, unlike that kindling otherwise known as wood shakes, and they can also dissipate the electrical charge.
Whew!
