A Durable, High-Performance Roofing Solution

The roofers at Wood Roofing & Sheet Metal have the expertise and resources to ensure your commercial roofing system is protected with high-quality materials and performs to the highest standards. Whether you're looking for a durable solution or a striking design, a standing seam roof system may be the perfect fit for your project.

WHAT IS A STANDING SEAM ROOF SYSTEM?

A standing seam roof system is a concealed fastener metal panel roofing option characterized by vertical legs and a flat area between them. This innovative design enhances the aesthetic appeal of structures and offers exceptional durability. Commonly used for both roofs and walls, standing seam systems are renowned for their sleek, modern appearance.

Key advantages include the absence of exposed fasteners, which significantly improve weather resistance and longevity. These roofs perform well in extreme conditions and are flexible enough to accommodate thermal movement, ensuring stability over time. Additionally, standing seam roofs are energy-efficient, often made with cool roofing materials that reflect solar heat, making them a popular choice for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

The Benefits Of A Standing Seam Roof System

CONCEALED FASTENERS FOR ENHANCED DURABILITY

One of the most significant advantages of standing seam metal roofing is the absence of exposed fasteners. This design feature protects the fasteners from harsh environmental elements, such as UV rays, moisture, and wind, which can cause deterioration over time. As a result, standing seam systems tend to have a longer lifespan compared to traditional roofing options.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Standing seam metal roofing systems are rigorously tested to meet industry standards, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme weather conditions. This level of testing means they can withstand heavy rain, snow, and high winds, making them a dependable choice for any climate.

THERMAL MOVEMENT ACCOMMODATION

Metal roofing is subject to expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations. Standing seam systems are designed to allow for this thermal movement without compromising the integrity of the roof. This flexibility helps to prevent issues like warping and leaks, which can be common in other roofing types.

SLEEK & MODERN AESTHETIC

Standing seam roofing is increasingly popular among architects and builders due to its contemporary appearance. The clean, straight lines of the panels provide a sophisticated look that complements a wide range of architectural styles. Additionally, these panels come in various colors, including custom roofing options, allowing for personalized design.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Many standing seam systems are manufactured using cool roofing materials that reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption. This energy-efficient feature not only helps lower cooling costs but also contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment.

ON-SITE PANEL PRODUCTION

We can produce standing seam panels on-site in lengths of up to 250 feet. This capability means fewer seams and components, leading to a quicker installation and enhanced weather-tightness.

Types Of Standing Seam Roof Systems

STRUCTURAL STANDING SEAM PANELS

These panels are typically used on lower-sloped roofs and are designed to be hydrostatic. This means they can maintain watertight integrity even when submerged in water for short periods. Structural panels can be installed over both open framing and solid decks.

ARCHITECTURAL STANDING SEAM PANELS

Commonly used on slopes of 3:12 or greater, architectural roof panels are classified as hydrokinetic, meaning they effectively manage water flow without pooling. This panel type often features load-carrying capabilities, making them suitable for various building applications.
