Metal Roofs with Standing Seams
Standing-seam panels have raised, overlapping seams or legs raised above flat surfaces that connect vertically from the roof ridges to the edges. Legs can be interlocked in several different ways. They are protected from the elements, including rain, wind, and other harsh conditions, buried and hidden.
Various colors, materials, shapes, thicknesses, and connection types are all available for this roofing style. On-site cutting or factory pre-fabrication are options for your roofing contractor.
Materials and their Advantages for Roofing
With minimal upkeep, standing seam metal roofs are long-lasting, fireproof, and cost-efficient. An eco-friendly alternative to other roofing materials is metal, a material that can be recycled indefinitely.
Metal roofs made of steel or aluminum are by far the most common. They’re a great fit for coastal areas, and this environment is not conducive to aluminum’s corrosion or rusting. Copper and zinc, two other metals, can last for millennia.
