General Contractor Standing Seam Commercial and Residential Metal Roofing
METAL Description: Metal roofing systems are classified into two basic types: architectural, standing seam, and structural. Architectural systems need the metal to be supported on a continuous deck, and are designed primarily to be aesthetically pleasing. Structural systems are designed to span structural supports and, therefore, do not require an additional decking material. Structural systems are generally watertight systems and can be used at low slopes, down to 1/4 inches in 12 inches. Architectural systems typically are water-shedding systems and, therefore, require slopes greater than 2 inches in 12 inches. Galvalume coated steel is the most popular metal for structural applications. For architectural applications, painted steel (in a wide variety of colors) is common. Other metals commonly used in architectural metal roof applications are copper, aluminum and zinc.
Ideal Application: For architectural metal roof systems, application is best on buildings where the roof is part of the visual appearance and that are not too wide, making it difficult to accommodate the slope. Structural metal roof systems work well for buildings in need of additional slope, or in cases where a low-slope (1/4 inches per foot) metal roof is desired.
Potential Problems: Metal systems generally have a higher initial cost than other roof systems. The amount is dependent on the choice of materials and system. Maintenance and repair can be difficult, and may require special knowledge and skills.

Re-roofing Compatible
Standing seam metal roofs can be applied over existing asbestos or asphalt roofs, eliminating removal and dumping costs.
Environmentally Correct
Metal roofs are made from as much as 50% recycled material, the shingles are 100% recyclable.
Better Weather Protection
A metal roof won’t absorb water and provides better protection against hail than traditional roofing materials.
Energy Efficient
A metal roof reflects the sun, reduces cooling requirements and saves energy.
Wind Resistant
Standing seam metal roofing outperforms other roofing products during hurricanes.
Fire Resistant
A metal roof won’t burn or support combustion.
Quiet
Noise levels for metal roofs are the same as asphalt, wood or clay (about 30 decibels).
