Easton Roofing

The default option for roofing materials has always been asphalt shingles. Nowadays, however, that isn’t exactly the case as you can now choose from among slate roofing, clay and concrete tile, or metal roofing. When it comes to the last material, meanwhile, there’s a particular type of metal roofing that is seeing a rise in popularity in residential and commercial use. This is the standing seam metal roof, and it has many benefits.

1. High Seams – One of the advantages of standing seam metal roofs is the high seams. The seams are the weak point of any roof and a possible entry point for moisture so standing metal seams sought to rectify that by raising it above the roofing panel’s level. T

2. Durability – While it’s not invincible to damage, metal can be tough and durable. It will take a lot to damage your standing seam metal roofing, and it will usually happen only during severe weather events. This will allow you to avoid worrying too much about any potential repair or replacement costs for your roof.

3. Lifespan – Since you’re roof is a significant investment, it’s understandable if you want your roofing system to last for as long as it can. Your standing seam metal roof can fulfill this need of yours since it can last between 30 to 50 years with the proper care and maintenance. F

4. Cool Roof – Some homeowners fear that having a standing seam metal roof will make their properties hotter during the summer. This isn’t actually the case as all metal roofing is considered a “cool roof” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to their ability to reflect heat and prevent solar heat gain, especially if you choose the right colors for the metal roofing system.

5. Color Options – There is a myth that metal roofs are limited when it comes to color options. Again, this isn’t the case as standing seam metal roofs can come in a wider range of colors compared to composition/asphalt shingles. Some of these colors can even help you with your home’s energy efficiency if you choose the right one.
