Is metal roofing the right move for your mountain home?

Between snow load, wildfire exposure, freeze thaw cycles, and long term maintenance planning, roof decisions in Colorado are not simple. That is exactly why we broke it down in our latest blog.

In “𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬", we explore when standing seam metal is the smart choice, how it compares to other systems, and what homeowners should consider before replacing their roof.

If you are building, re roofing, or just starting your research, this is worth the read.

That subtle waviness you see in metal panels during the hottest part of the day? That is oil canning.

It happens when temperatures fluctuate and metal expands as atoms vibrate and push slightly farther apart. When the temperature drops back to baseline, the metal settles again, sometimes differently than when it was first installed.

This is why timing and technique matter.
Season of install.
Time of day. Panel width.
Structural support.
All of it plays a role.

In the photo shown, the fascia is unusually wide, which makes the oil canning more pronounced. Wider, flat stretches of metal are more susceptible to visible movement. We typically recommend narrower fascia profiles with strategic bends added on a metal brake. Those angles increase rigidity and help resist that bubbling effect.

Metal moves. Good fabrication plans for it.

Have questions about oil canning or how to minimize it on your project? Reach out.

We are happy to walk you through the details.
