Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Long-life architectural and structural metal roofing with concealed fasteners.

Standing seam metal roofing uses interlocking panels with concealed fasteners, giving a clean architectural line and a very long service life. It's a steep- and moderate-slope system rather than a flat-roof membrane.

We install standing seam and related architectural metal on commercial buildings where longevity, low maintenance, and appearance are priorities — along with the coping, flashing, and sheet-metal details that make a metal roof watertight.

Metal roofing at a glance

  • Standing seam profiles with concealed clips that allow for thermal movement
  • Factory-applied PVDF (Kynar 500) finishes for long-term color and coating life
  • Installed over solid decking or open framing depending on the structure
  • Service life measured in decades with minimal maintenance
  • Strong wind and fire performance
  • Manufacturer finish and system warranty options
01

Where it fits

Metal is best on steep- and moderate-slope roofs and architectural applications where a long, low-maintenance service life and finished appearance justify a higher upfront investment.

02

Assembly & attachment options

Panels are secured with concealed clips that accommodate expansion and contraction, over solid deck or open framing. Coping, flashing, and architectural sheet-metal details are fabricated to match the profile and keep the assembly weather-tight.

03

Advantages & trade-offs

Metal's longevity, low maintenance, and finished look are its advantages. The trade-offs: a higher upfront cost than single-ply, and it isn't suited to very low-slope roofs — slope and detailing have to match the profile.

04

Warranty & when we'd recommend something else

Manufacturer finish and weather-tightness warranties are available on qualifying assemblies; we confirm the coverage for your building. For flat and low-slope commercial roofs, a single-ply or multi-ply membrane is the appropriate system rather than metal.
