You have so many options to consider when you’re looking for a new roof for your home. Even if you’ve narrowed your choices, you still have to choose between a standing seam roof and corrugated roof (along with the many options within each of those).

The first step in your journey to purchase a metal roof centers upon choosing the correct metal roofing panel. There are lots of choices available, but the overwhelming majority of homeowners will choose one of these three panels: ⅞” Corrugated, R Panel/PBR Panel, or standing seam.
Each of these panels has a unique set of advantages and disadvantages.

Our goal in this article is to educate you on one of our most popular panels, standing seam metal roofing. We want you to know the pros and the cons so you can make the best decision for your metal roof.

Advantages Of Standing Seam Metal Roofs

1. Weather-tightness
The main benefit of a standing seam roof is it’s a concealed fastener panel. Standing seam metal roofing panels are attached to the substrate using concealed clips and fasteners.

2. Durability and Lifespan
Standing seam metal roofing is often referred to as a “Lifetime Roof”, meaning you should only need to purchase one roof in your life for your house. It’s a long term investment. Standing seam metal roofing can last 40-70 years.

3. Curb Appeal
Standing seam metal roofing transforms the look of your home and creates instant curb appeal.

4. Standing Seam Metal Roofing Is Fire Resistant
The standing seam metal roofing panels will have a Class A fire rating. However, the roofing structure as a whole may receive a different fire rating. For example, if you installed a standing seam roof over the top of existing wood shingles then it would not be a Class A fire rated roofing system.

5. Standing Seam Panels Require Less Maintenance
Because the fasteners are concealed, they aren't exposed to the weather. This means that there aren’t any washers on the screws that will break down and need to be replaced. Concealed fasteners are the main reason that standing seam requires less maintenance than other types of metal roofing panels.

Expansion and contraction is not an issue with a standing seam roof. Therefore, you won’t have the headache of climbing on your roof periodically, checking to make sure the fasteners have not backed out, and then re-tightening them.

6. Standing Seam Color Choices

Standing seam roofs are only available in a Kynar paint system. Kynar is the best paint system that’s widely available for use on metal roofing panels. You are buying the nicest and most expensive metal roofing system. Standing seam roofs can last for 50 years or longer. You need a paint system that matches the performance of the roofing panel.
Color fades at a less rapid rate with a Kynar paint system. This is why all of the bright and vibrant colors are Kynar paint. A lesser quality paint like an SMP paint system usually allows for 6-12 color options. By contrast, a Kynar paint finish is available in hundreds of colors.

7. Energy Efficiency
Most standing seam panels are considered a “Cool Metal Roof”. The Kynar paint system has cool pigments, which increases solar reflectance and lessens the surface temperature of your metal roof.

8. A Standing Seam Roof Increases The Resale Value Of Your Home

9. Standing Seam Panels Can Be Used On A Low Slope Roof
A mechanically fastened standing seam can be installed on a roof with a pitch as low as 1” in 12”. Snap lock standing seam should have a minimum 3” in 12” pitch.

10. Compatible With Solar Panels and Snow Retention Systems
