Sheet Metal + Metal Roofing

Styles of Metal Roofing

Exposed fastener panels are attached to the structure through the surface of the metal directly to the framing below. The panels overlap and the fastener goes through each overlapped piece and is visible from the outside meaning it is “exposed”. Exposed fastener roofing is the more economical choice and is common in residential roofing. Its panels are also wider, meaning fewer have to be purchased. One of the downsides of this method is the amount of roof penetrations that can be faulty. If you don’t have an experienced roofing contractor performing the work, there is more room for error.

Standing seam metal panels are able to slot together to conceal the fasteners. When you look at it you can see the raised seams and the flat area between them. Standing seam is considered higher quality and is more commonly seen on commercial buildings. The main benefit of standing seam is that there are no exposed fasteners, meaning there is less damage and wear to those joints over time. Standing seam also has the ability to expand and contract more naturally than exposed fastener. The downside of standing seam is the cost. It is labor intensive to install and it is harder to find a qualified contractor. It can also be harder to repair.
