The Advantages of a Standing Seam Roof

Rodd Roofing presents the advantages of standing seam roofing options.

Any owner of a home or commercial property should consider a standing seam roof as a fantastic roofing option.


These are only four incredible benefits of standing seam roofing:

  • Lovely appearance
  • Snow Shedding
  • Resistant to Weather
  • Long-lasting


More and more people are choosing standing seam metal roofing over other options, including asphalt shingles.


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.


Overall, any owner of a home or business building should strongly consider the standing seam metal roof. With such a lovely, durable, and weatherproof roof, how could anyone go wrong? Standing Seam roofs will benefit you while you live in the house, and even if you sell the house with this style of roofing, you can get more money for it because the buyer may never need to replace the lovely and long-lasting roof.
