Metal roofing is incredibly common here in New Zealand, and for good reason. With that being said, there are many different kinds of metal roofing out there to choose from. At Johnson Roofing, we pride ourselves on the ability to not only help our customers with their roofing needs but also our ability to educate them. Today, we are going to focus on standing seam metal roofing. We are going to discuss what this type of roofing is, the various benefits and applications, and what you need to do in order to add it to your home.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
When you look through a catalogue of metal roofing options, your eyes are probably going to be drawn to a standing seam metal roof. This type of roof isn’t quite as common as the other types in the catalogue, but it is incredibly useful. You’ll note standing seam roofing largely for the way that the metal comes to an elevated point. This is done by way of crimping each seam together into a solid join. Standing seam roofing has a ton of different design benefits that owners of residential and commercial properties are likely to find quite appealing. Let’s look at a few different benefits of standing seam metal roofing.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing Benefits for Your Home
Longevity and Durability – When it comes to buying a roof, you don’t want to end up with something that will fall apart on you. Standing seam metal roofing is incredibly durable and can last upwards of twice as long as your conventional roofing shingles.
Drainage and Weather Resistance – Standing seam metal roofs are, by nature of their design, much better at handling weather than flat surfaces. The slant of the roof allows for an efficient roof drain to be installed. The slanted roofs also disallow any sort of buildup. This kind of roof can also withstand strong winds upwards of 225 KM/H.
Aesthetically Pleasing – Finally, standing seam metal roofs are incredibly pleasing to the eye. They offer dramatic angles and eye-catching focal points. This is a great benefit if you are running any sort of commercial project out of the building that will have the standing seam metal roof installed.
Installing Standing Seam Metal Roofing
While the DIY spirit is admirable, it isn’t the right way to go for this kind of roof. Standing seam metal roofing will require a professional touch in order to ensure that it is properly installed.
