What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing is a type of metal roofing where the fasteners are concealed. Many times this system is also referred to as “barn roofing”, “commercial roofing”, or “agricultural panel roofing.” The panels interlock using a clamp system instead of screws to hold it all in place. The interlocking system has tall 1 ¾” seams for added distinction. This gives the roof a polished, seamless look that many prefer over the other types of metal roofing systems. There are many other benefits to this type of roofing system.
Advantages of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
- Durability – Considering no screws are holding the panels in place, there is little chance of failure or breaking down of the material.
- Fire-Resistant – These panels offer protection against fire with non-combustible materials.
- Thermal Expansion – Standing Seam Metal Roofing attachs to the roof deck with special clips that allow for movement due to temperature changes.
- Impact Resistant – Standing seam metal roofing is class 4, meaning they are the highest level of impact resistance for roofing materials.
- Lifespan – Nearly 30 years when properly installed and the attic of the home is adequately ventilated.
- Less Maintenance – Make sure to keep an eye out for any areas that have become scratched, as this can lead to rust from moisture and dew buildup.
- Curb Appeal – When compared to asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing has a more visually appealing look.
- Variety – Homeowners with a variety of preferences can find a color to suit their home and personality.
- Eco-Friendly – Metal can be recycled into other useful items at the end of its roofing life.
