Advantages of a Standing Seam Metal Roof

• Weather resistant
  No matter the metal chosen, the homeowner ends up with a roof that can withstand high winds and hail and is exceptionally waterproof and impervious to fire.
• Lightweight
  Many types of standing seam metal roofs weigh less than 200 pounds per square, making it easier to transport and therefore easy to install. Metal roofs are lighter than composite roofing, but still retain considerable strength and durability.
• Puncture resistant
  Whether it’s from flying debris in a storm, contact with a nearby tree or an accidental misstep or other accident by a homeowner walking on the roof, punctures are a very common way for leaks to develop on roofs. But a standing seam metal roof is nearly puncture resistant.
• Natural reflectors
  The rays of the sun naturally reflect off of metal roofs, which also can be covered with additional reflective coating to help create a cool roof. Instead of super-heating 70 to 80 degrees above the outside temperature, a metal roof reflects much of the sunlight and keeps the roof at a temperature closer the actual reading outside.
