Standing seam metal roofs are an affordable metal roofing type for Masaachusetts homeowners thanks to their attractive appearance, durability, and variety of styles and colors to choose from.
These happen to be one of the most recognizable metal roofing style around today. They connect adjoining panels using a raised interlocking seam, with that raised seam giving this roof its signature name. With a distinctive appearance and vertical installation, standing seam metal roofing systems usually run from eave to ridge, installed with hidden clips or fasteners.

Benefits of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam systems bring you all the benefits of metal roofing, with a 50+ year lifespan and lower utility costs. This energy efficiency represents one of the top advantages of metal roofing. If you live in windy areas, you will like the fact that metal roofing is wind resistant, as well as fire and hail resistant.
Standing seam systems come in many colors and finishes, giving you more flexibility to complement the aesthetics of your home.
They are installed with hidden clips and fasteners to safeguard against leaks. Concealed fasteners help contribute to a longer lifespan, as exposed fasteners penetrate the roof’s surface, decreasing the panel’s lifespan and increasing the risk of leaking. This lack of visible fasteners makes the roof more visually appealing overall, as well.
Finally, standing seam systems are an affordable metal roofing system option.
A Snapshot of Standing Seam Metal Roofs
- Lightweight Yet Durable: Metal does not crack, rot or warp, and has been known to last between 40 and 70 years.
- Low Upkeep: If spending a lot of time on maintaining your roof doesn’t sound appealing to you, you will like the fact that metal is a low-upkeep material. This is because it features an alloy coating of zinc-aluminum that does not corrode.
- Fire Safety: Insurance companies often give discounts when you install a fire safe roofing system such as metal. That’s because this durable material won’t ignite into flame if lightning strikes or wildfires occur.
- Snow and Ice Resistant: Metal can resist snow and ice formation, along with high winds, rain, and blizzards.
- Recyclable: Metal roofs are comprised of 25 to 95 percent recycled content, and also happen to be 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
- Options: There are many widths, colors, shapes and materials to select from.
- Energy-Efficiency: The factory-applied reflective paints can reflect solar radiant heat, giving you lower cooling costs (between 10 and 25 percent)
