A few years ago, metal roofing panels used to be only installed on industrial complexes, but they have since gained popularity among residential homeowners, thanks to their durability. The metal roofing systems on residential homes are almost always standing seam metal roofs.
What makes this particular metal roofing system suited for both residential homes and commercial buildings?
Compared to a conventional metal roof, standing seam metal roofs are more resistant against leaks, making them a smart choice if you need a roof replacement. As the name suggests, the seams of a standing seam metal roof are raised above the roof surface. Since the seams – the point where different metal roofing panels meet and the weak point of a standard roofing system – are raised, water can’t easily seep to your underlayers.
Standing seam metal roofing has excellent durability and minimal maintenance needs. However, these depend on the suitability of the metal to your area’s climate. Here’s a quick overview of the most widely used metals used in roofing systems on the market:
