Metal Roofing Sysem
Standing Seam Metal Roofing System
There are many categories of metal panels. The term standing seam often is used as a generic description for a class of metal roof seams. The name standing seam is derived from the fact that the seams are joined together above the panel flats. The term also is used to refer to a panel profile that includes a standing seam: the vertical leg/flat pan and the trapezoidal seam. The trapezoidal standing seam is more commonly associated with structural metal panels. Other panel types are batten, flat, bermuda and shingled.

• PROTECTION
A metal roof also provides protection to both your family and home. Metal protects a home from fire and is strong protection against extreme weather.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY A GOOD DECISION WITH ADDED ENERGY SAVINGS
Metal roofing in both light and dark colors reflects heat effectively to reduce cooling loads in the summer and insulate homes during the winter. This can help to lower energy bills.

Metal roofs are considered to be a premium roofing system which will not only add value to your home but will help you save on energy costs and maintenance costs throughout the service life of your roof. The protection that a metal roof offers in hurricane prone areas is worth the peace of mind alone.
