A metal roof is a type of roofing system that is typically made from metal tiles or pieces. It is often characterized by high impact resistance and longevity, and has played a significant role in architecture for a long period of time. Metal roofing systems are usually installed by professional roofing contractors.

In recent years, there is one metal roofing method that has become increasingly popular in residential buildings. It is called the standing seam metal roof. The material is “seamed” together using a roof seamer, a portable roll forming machine. Its design is run vertically up the panel to seal the joints in the roof and prevent water intrusion. A standing seam metal roof is commonly described as having raised seams that rise above the panel of the panel’s flat area.
If you’re planning to use standing seam metal roofing in your home or business, here are some of its many advantages you can enjoy.
1. High and Fewer Seams: This type of roofing utilizes a unique way of using seams, which are typically considered as vulnerable points in a roof. Having high seams means moisture or water cannot easily seep into your system. Moreover, the roof has far fewer seams since the metal panels run continuously from the top to the bottom of the roof. This reduces the chance of needing an emergency roof repair service.
2. Long-Lasting: Provided that your metal roof was carefully installed and regularly maintained, you can expect your system to last from 30 up to 50 years.
3. Energy Efficient: Metal roofs are considered cool roofs because they can be painted with lighter colors to dilute the uncomfortable effects of solar radiation.
4. Sleek Look: Standing seam metal roofs go well with contemporary homes and certain kinds of country-style abodes. The design of metal roofing showcases clean, straight lines and has a sophisticated appeal to it.
5. Durable: Metal itself is a tough material. Some metal roofs can withstand wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour and will not corrode or crack, avoiding costly roof replacement needs.
