What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

This roofing style has metal panels that run vertically up the roof and are intertwined at the edge or border to create uniquely raised seams that stand straight up. The seals use a concealed fastener design or clipped system, allowing seamless attachment of the panels to the roof deck, rafters, or purlins. This roofing system boasts supreme durability and resistance to hurricane-level winds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

  • What Are the Pros & Cons?

    Pros: 

    • Long lifespan: you should get at least 30-50 years out of your standing seam metal roof as long as it’s properly installed.
    • Improves your home appeal: it has a higher curb appeal and looks than the other standard asphalt shingles. 
    • Exceptional strength: when professionally installed, metal roofs can withstand category three hurricanes, with up to 120 mph wind speeds.
    • Versatility: besides the practical benefits, metal roofing gives you alternatives for colors, patterns, sizes, shapes, and materials. The lightweight panels like aluminum make an excellent option for custom-fitting roof requirements.

    Cons: 

    • Cost: standing seam metal roofing is around three times more costly than the most common roofs, like architectural asphalt shingle roofs.
    • Noise factor: you could hear the rain hitting your standing seam metal roof louder than other non-metal roofs.

  • What Are the Types of Standing Seam Metal Roofs?

    You are spoiled for choice when it comes to standing seam panels. The defining factors include color, measurements, and attachment method (locking mechanism). With that in mind, let’s explore some of your main options:


    • Medallion-Lok Standing Seam Panels: these 1.7” narrow, Class A fire-rated metal panels are popular with commercial buildings. However, the clean visual lines that the Medallion-Lok seam roofs deliver can boost curb appeal in larger custom houses. 
    • Clicklock Aluminum Standing Seam Panels: the standing seam roofs under this category are manufactured using heavy-duty quality aluminum with excellent anti-corrosion properties. Their unique architectural profile makes them ideal for residential and custom homes.
    • Instaloc Standing Seam Panels: Instaloc metal roofs are Class A fire-rated, and they feature a low-profile seam of 1”. You can use the panels in residential homes or light commercial roofing projects.
    • Retrofit Standing Seam Panels: these panels offer exceptional asymmetrical standing seam performance, giving them an edge over other types. Since they use seam caps, the retrofit standing seam panels are easily recycled.

  • How Long Can Standing Seam Metal Roofs Last?

    Unlike asphalt shingles, which have a lifespan of approximately 20 years, you can expect your standing seam metal roof to last up to 50 years. They are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including hurricane winds, snow, hail, and more. What’s great, the roofing system requires little maintenance to squeeze more life out of it.
