    What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

    A standing seam roof system consists of metal roofing panels connected by raised (standing) seams on the edges to lock them in place. Unlike the simpler exposed fastener type of roofing, the fasteners are concealed within the standing seams, which protects them from the elements and makes the roof more durable (and, some would argue, more attractive).

    While a bit more cost and labor-intensive than exposed fastener roofing, standing seam roofs offer the following advantages:

    • Durability: Since the fasteners are most vulnerable to wear and weathering, covering them helps make the roof hold up better against the elements.
    • Variety of styles: Standing seam roofs accommodate a variety of colors, panel sizes/shapes and seam styles.
    • Curb appeal: Standing seam metal roofs are increasing in popularity for their sleek, modern appearance.
    • Low maintenance: Metal roofs, in general, are among the easiest roofs to maintain, and standing seam roofs even more so.
