Why metal roofs?
Standing seam metal roofs have many benefits, here are some of them: • Lightweight: Metal roofs are lightweight compared to tiles at 750 pounds per square or a concrete tile at 900 pounds per square. Most metal roofing is 50 to 150 pounds per square. • Weatherproof: The panels in a standing seam metal roof are joined together by a watertight seam that is raised above the roofs drainage system. Organic sealants are applied at the factory during roll forming of the panel, once the roofing comes on site, automatic field sealing machines complete the seal. All these processes ensure that the standing seam metal roof is designed to withstand snow, wind and rain. • Less maintenance required: Standing seam metal roofs offer years of trouble-free performance with little or no maintenance expense or time. • Durable: The concealed sliding chip system in the standing seam roof handles thermal shock. It does this using a rigid base that is attached to the buildings structural members. Movement in
