Standing Seam Metal Roofs

 A standing seam metal roof is a premium roofing system characterized by vertically  interlocking metal panels with raised vertical seams, running from the eave to the ridge of the roof. The defining feature is a concealed fastener system which protects the fasteners from weather exposure and UV degradation. This design provides superior water resistance, exceptional durability, and a sleek, modern appearance. 

 On a standing seam metal roof, the fasteners are concealed and located beneath the metal panels, not exposed on the surface. The panels are secured to the roof decking using a system of hidden clips and screws that are completely covered by the adjacent panel's interlocking seam.   This makes it highly resistant to leaks if properly installed.

 A standing seam metal roof is exceptionally durable, typically lasting for 40 to 70 years or more, which is two to three times the lifespan of a traditional asphalt shingle roof. The robust design, featuring high-quality metals and concealed fasteners, allows it to withstand severe weather events like high winds and hail with minimal wear and tear. Because the fasteners are protected , the roof is highly resistant to common issues like leaks, rust, and degradation over its long life. 

Yes, metal roof colors will eventually  fade overtime.  Sunlight, weather, and age all affect the coating longevity but the rate of fading depends heavily on the quality of the paint system.  Our coil stock material is finished with Beckers coatings and have a 40 year color fade warranty.

Metal roofs are generally less prone to leaking than shingle roofs because they have fewer seams and a smoother surface that sheds water and snow more effectively. However, both types of roofs can leak due to improper installation, poor maintenance, or damage from extreme weather. Metal roofs with exposed fasteners can be more vulnerable than standing seam roofs if the fasteners loosen or the rubber washers degrade over time.

 Yes, metal roofs are considered eco-friendly due to their recyclability, energy efficiency, and durability. They are made from a high percentage of recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of their long lifespan, which helps reduce landfill waste compared to materials like asphalt shingles. Metal roofs also improve energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat, which can lower cooling costs.
