    Why Choose Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

    Standing Seam Metal Roofing is considered the Gold Standard of Metal Roofing.
    Standing Seam is a concealed fastener roofing system, so it has no fasteners puncturing through the metal from the exterior surface. this design paired with tall seam heights, thick coating, and heavy gauge metal thickness, makes this roofing system one of the most durable and watertight roofing system on the market.

    Benefits of Standing Seam Metal Roofing

    Durability

    Standing seam roofing systems are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions such as hail and high winds. Their heavy gauge metal and thick exterior coating helps it resist dents and scratches, and unlike asphalt shingles or rubber, it doesn't deteriorate or rot.

    Longevity

    Due to its durable materials and robust locking and fastening system, standing seam roofs are considered lifetime roofs, with a 40–60-year lifespan. This can make the extra cost up front worth it compared to cheaper roof systems that only last half as long and require more maintenance during their lifespan.

    Weather Tight

    The concealed fastener design of standing seam roofs, and the height and locking power of the seams makes this one of the most weatherproof roofing options available on the market.

    Low Slope Compatibility

    As mentioned above, this roofing system is very weather tight, which allows it to be install on lower slope roofs compared to corrugated or ribbed panel metal roofing, which require a 3/12 pitch or greater.

    Aesthetics

    Looks can b subjective, nut the general consensus of today is that standing seam roofs have a more modern, sleek look than corrugated metal roofing or shingles.

    Color Options

    The exterior coatings on standing seam roofs allow them to be colored to match almost any color you want, which allows you to achieve the look you want for your application.

    Low Maintenance

    Standing seam roofs require very little to no maintenance across their lifetime. As long as you keep them free of debris and inspect them for storm damage such as fallen branches, they are as close to set it and forget it as you can get.
