Metal Roofs that look like sheet metal or vertical panels offer an aesthetically pleasing look along with one of the most functionally sound roofing systems on the market. This roof is called Standing Seam for its “seams” or “ribs,” which “stand up” perpendicular to the roof panels.
Made from 24 or 26 gauge steel, this metal roof is installed with concealed clips which hold the panels in place, then the seams are mechanically bonded together to form a seam that keeps water out. This roofing system is heavily used on commercial properties, but the residential market has been growing steadily over the past ten years.
With a 40 year limited lifetime paint warranty, energy savings and possible insurance discounts, this cool metal roofing product is hard to beat. If the standing seam look fits your style of home, you might be in for a lifetime free of leaks!
