Advantages of a Standing Seam Metal Roof
Whether you’re renovating your home or building anew, you’ve more than likely notice the abundance of roofing materials on the market. The industry is flooded with new advancements – most of which have proven effective for residential construction. One such material is standing seam metal – one of the fastest growing roofing materials in terms of popularity. Whether it’s the appearance or its benefits that have drawn you in, there’s a reason why so many homeowners turn to metal.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is not a new invention. Neither is standing seam metal roofing. What is new, however, is the rising popularity amongst homeowners. Initially, standing seam roofs were used for businesses and commercial structures. This has since changed. Now residential clients may utilize standing seam metal roofing.
The name stems from the method in which such roofing is built. The metal panels run from the ridge to the edge of the roof. At the brink of every panel, a single tall seam connects the next panel. The overall appearance is that of “standing” material.
Advantages
The biggest advantage with standing seam metal roofing is its appearance. For many homeowners, style is everything. The second most significant advantage to consider is energy efficiency. A standing seam roof ensures your home remains cooler.
Furthermore, the standing seam is extremely durable. You’re likely to install one roof and live it with it for the foreseeable future. In fact, a professionally installed roof could last 50 years or more, compared to the 17 to 20 of a typical asphalt roof.
Lastly, the material does not rust nor will it fade due to sun exposure. Metal is stalwart against the elements.
