Why Choose Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Heritage Roofing Systems would like to help you understand the difference between standing seam metal roofing and traditional corrugated/exposed-fastener metal roofing.
When you invest in a new roof, you want something that looks great, performs well, and protects your home or business for years to come. Here are 5 strong reasons standing seam metal roofing stands above corrugated metal roofing:
1. Hidden Fasteners
Standing seam panels use concealed clips and fasteners, meaning the screws are not exposed to rain, snow, sun, and changing weather conditions. Exposed screws can loosen or deteriorate over time, creating potential maintenance issues.
2. Lower Risk of Leaks
Corrugated metal roofing can have hundreds of exposed screws and rubber washers across the roof surface. As those washers age, they can become potential leak points. Standing seam roofing keeps the fastening system protected beneath the panels for added long-term protection.
3. Longer Service Life
A properly installed standing seam metal roof can often last 40β70+ years, making it an excellent long-term investment for your home, farm, business, or commercial property.
4. Designed for Expansion & Contraction
Metal naturally expands and contracts as temperatures change. Standing seam roofing is designed to allow the panels to move, helping reduce stress on the roofing system compared with metal panels that are screwed directly to the roof.
5. Cleaner, Higher-End Appearance
With smooth panels, raised seams, and no visible screws, standing seam roofing provides a clean, attractive, high-end appearance that can enhance the look of almost any property.
The Difference Is in the Design
Corrugated metal is screwed down. Standing seam is engineered to move, conceal the fasteners, and provide better long-term protection.
