FAQ
What Makes Standing Seam Roofs Different from Other Metal Roofs?
Standing seam roofs feature raised vertical seams that connect the panels, creating a sleek, seamless appearance. Unlike other metal roofing systems, standing seam uses hidden fasteners, which enhance durability, prevent leaks, and provide a clean, modern look. This design also improves resistance to wind, rain, and snow.
Can Standing Seam Roofs Withstand Canada’s Weather?
Absolutely. Standing seam roofs are engineered to handle extreme weather conditions: Class 4 Impact Resistance: Protects against hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter. Wind Resistance: Withstands wind speeds of up to 180 mph. Fire Safety: Class A fire-rated, non-combustible panels provide superior protection against fire hazards. Their durability ensures reliable performance in hailstorms, heavy snowfall, and strong winds.
Do Standing Seam Roofs Require Much Maintenance?
No. Standing seam roofs are virtually maintenance-free. Occasional inspections and cleaning to remove debris like leaves or dirt are all that’s needed to keep them in top condition. They resist damage from animals, birds, algae, and moss growth, reducing the need for repairs.
What Colors and Finishes Are Available?
Standing seam roofs come in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing you to customize the look of your roof. Options include neutral tones like grays and browns, as well as bold hues for a modern aesthetic. Reflective coatings are also available to enhance energy efficiency.
Why Are Hidden Fasteners Important?
Hidden fasteners are a key feature of standing seam roofs. They are concealed beneath the panels, eliminating exposed screws that can loosen over time or lead to leaks. This system enhances both the roof’s appearance and its long-term durability by providing a tight seal and preventing water infiltration.
How Does Standing Seam Roofing Compare in Price to Other Options?
Standing seam roofs are generally more expensive than other metal roofing options like metal tiles or shingles due to their advanced design, materials, and installation process. However, their longevity, low maintenance, and energy efficiency make them a cost-effective investment over time. Compared to traditional asphalt shingles, standing seam roofs offer superior performance and lifespan.
