Metal roofs have many advantages over other roofs of different materials. They are durable, install neatly, are lightweight, fire resistant and available in several design patterns and colors.

There are many types of materials used for metal roofs including; copper, steal, galvalume and aluminum. However, there are three main types of metal roofs:

Standing Seam Panel

This uses flat sheets of metal (copper, aluminum, stainless steel) joined with raised seams. The joints are locked together, and the edges are folded back over, creating a watertight seal. The metal comes in rolled form and cut to the measurements of the roof. This is one of the oldest roofing systems in use, and its installation requires the skills of professional roofing technicians.

Metal Resembling Tile or Shingles

These are metal panels designed to replicate the look of tile or shingle made from other materials. They can look like composition, wood, cedar, slate or ceramic tile. They also can paint the shingles to suit your design preferences.

Corrugated Metal

Mostly used in industrial and agricultural applications.
A metal roof is a lifetime investment — The service life of a metal roof can go beyond 50 years. Furthermore, there are numerous colors and styles to consider. Metal roofs can compliment the architecture and décor of your home.
