What is Standing Seam Metal?
Standing seam metal roofs are made of metal panels that run from the top of the roof to the eaves. Each panel has a high lip or rib on each side. The ribs overlap and fit together, concealing the fasteners and creating raised seams that run from top to bottom.
Standing seam metal roofs aren't new: This style of metal roofing was used as early as the mid-1700s. It became more prevalent in the mid-1800s when copper was more readily available. Today, the most common metals used are steel, aluminum, and copper—which is the most expensive.
The Benefits:
- A standing seam metal roof is energy-efficient, reducing energy costs—especially in hot climates.
- It is sustainable. Most metal roofing contains a significant amount of recycled content, and it is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its roof-topping life.
- It is long-lasting and durable, not to mention fire and wind resistant. While the upfront cost may be higher than composite shingles, metal roofing can last three times longer, and most of the time more. Most of these roofs carry a 30 to 50 year warranty.
- It is lightweight, reducing load-bearing structural costs. A metal roof can often be installed directly over an existing roof, eliminating the expense and waste of removal and disposal. Consult with an installer for your specific case.
- It looks great and is equally suited to barn-style buildings, residential homes, commercial buildings, schools, and industrial building applications.
