Both painted aluminum-zinc alloy and copper are options for this lovely roof.


Due to the copper or painted aluminum alloy covering, Standing Seam metal roofs not only have a stunning appearance, but these coatings also offer significant weather protection. Standing seam metal roofs are favored over asphalt roofs because they are resistant to hail, wind, flame sparks, and fire. A standing seam metal roof also has the tremendous benefit of melting snow as soon as the surrounding temperature rises by a few degrees. For residents in mountainous or icy areas, this is an incredible benefit.


Last but not least, standing seam roofs are durable and able to withstand the test of time. A standing seam metal roof will have the lowest lifetime cost of all roofing materials. The standing seam metal roof may occasionally outlive the building it is protecting. Even at this underestimate, these roof panels will survive 25 to 35 years, which is three times longer than an asphalt roof. Standing seam roofs can survive up to 100 years with the right metal coating.
