Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The most common sort of metal roof is that the standing seam roof, so named because the aluminum or steel roofing panels meet in raised seams that interlock to stay moisture out. Metal roofs of all types are increasingly popular in regions with heavy snowfall or where there’s a notable danger of untamed fires since this is often a building material that’s fully fireproof.
Metal roofs are very long-lived and are fully recyclable once they finally do wear out. But installation requires special skills and not every roofing company is ready to put in a standing seam metal roof.
Costs typically run from $6 to $12 per sq ft, installed. Metal roofs commonly last 30 to 50 years, but some are known to last 75 years.
