A
standing seam metal roof is among the longest-lasting materials available for commercial, residential, industrial and agricultural buildings. The raised (standing) seam directs rain water and ice melt away, reducing the possibility of leaks. Metal is no longer “hot”, that is, responsible for high roof temperatures. Metal is now a “cool” roof, which makes your structure energy efficient and sends money to your bottom line or back into your budget.

Metal roofing can last as long as 50 years. “The new metal” is engineered to reflect away the heat of the sun, making it remarkably energy efficient. Your roof can be steel, aluminum, or copper.
The seams are the significant feature. All metal panels must fit together; but nailed or screwed seams are inferior because they eventually spring leaks as the attachments weaken and pull away as a building settles. On a standing seam metal roof the panels interlock; one raised “lip” fastens inside the other. This layered seam not only directs away water, but also increases the wind resistance. Storm winds cannot get up and under the interlocking seams to lift off panels. In Oklahoma, this is a welcome innovation!
Top five benefits of a standing seam metal roof:
- You get measurable energy efficiency
- It has proven wind resistance up to hurricane strength
- You receive an exceptionally long warranty
- You’ll have no maintenance
- You have a choice of designs and colors
- Energy savings: A white, reflective standing seam metal roof can cut air conditioning costs by up to 34%. Look at your bill. Subtract 34 cents from every dollar you spend now on cooling. Reflective metal will reflect the sun’s rays, rather than absorb them as traditional roofs do. Heat bounces away, rather than passing through to your home or commercial building. You begin measuring energy and cost savings as soon as the roof is installed.
- Some metal roofs carry the ENERGY STAR® rating, which makes homeowners eligible for federal tax credits of up to $1500 of the cost of the materials. Combined with the energy cost savings, the roof will pay for itself over the course of its useful life
- Metal roofing is considered eco-friendly roofing, which qualifies businesses for LEED green building credits.
- The strength to stand up to tornado and straight line winds. Because a standing seam metal roof is often installed in Florida, they have been engineered to meet hurricane building standards. New attachment systems and interlocking seams create a roofing system that wind cannot uplift. In addition, it offers superb hail protection and is fireproof.
- Extended warranty: A standing seam metal roof is so durable and so tightly installed, that manufacturers routinely offer 25, 35 and even 50 year warranties.
- No maintenance: These roofs do not ever need to be coated, painted, or sealed. The factory color remains vibrant. The metal will never mold, attract mildew, and definitely will not rust.
- Designs and colors: you have a choice of different distinctive designs, and each comes in an array of colors.
A few more facts:
A metal roof does not attract lightning. It will not crack or bubble because it has been engineered to expand and contract slightly when temperatures naturally change between day and night, and between seasons. Metal is not noisier.
