What are the "attachments" I see on standing seam roofs. Some are quite ornate, some not so. Generally they are staggered, and the ones I've seen are attached to the top of the seam and their bottoms are an inch away from the roof. At one time I thought these were rain diverters, but now? Thank you.

Darby, Thanks for the question! There are several benefits to metal roof that makes them more and more common. First, metal roofs last a long time. Other roofing materials may have to be replaced multiple times before a metal would. Metal roofs are cost effective, especially when considering the durability. Metal roofs are strong - they are able to resist loads (wind, snow...). Other benefits include coatings that reflect heat rather than absorbing it, recycled content, recyclable and low maintenance. One last note is that these befits are available with properly designed and indstalled metal roofs. Regards, David Stermer

Standing Seam Roofs are the ultimate in metal roofs, characterized by a “U” shaped panel that can be up to 40 feet long. Its technical superiority and beauty comes from the fact that usually the length of the panel is not punctured with screws or nails. These panels are made to be secured with a concealed clip inside the standing seam, which means the fasteners are hidden from view. There are imitation standing seam roofs available, which incorporate a nailing strip as part of the panel. However, a true standing seam roof using concealed clips allows for expansion and contraction of the long steel panels as they can slide within the clip. Allowing such expansion reduces the potential of oil canning in long panels. A big part of the look is also that the outer edges are hemmed over the drip edge and gable flashing to create clean, waterproof lines and a roofing system that is resistant to wind uplift. Most are made of 26g or 24g & sometimes 22g painted steel, but custom made copper and aluminum standing seam panels are also available for specific applications like over bay windows or on vertical walls on storefronts. Various profiles of standing seams are available like Vertical Seam, Batten Seam, Mini-Batten Seam, etc. The most classic is the Vertical Seam. Standing Seam roofing, while being medium cost (about twice the cost of standard low grade asphalt shingles), is the longest lasting, most trouble free and least maintenance of any sloped roofing system available. Standing seam roofs are a specialty at Roofmaster and Rooftek, where the staff and owners have been installing various versions for over 3 decades.

One of the biggest benefits of the metal roof is that it comes with a 30 year manufacturers warranty (Australian Manufacturers)... They also have better protection, and we all know the weather can be unpredictable, and with the extreme Australian conditions like torrential rain, hail storms, gusty winds and bush-fires affecting homes right across the country, more and more homeowners are seeking the protection of a metal roof. In my opinion Metal Roofs have many more benefits than the concrete tile roofs... Matt

One of the most obvious benefits to the metal roof is the 30 year (manufacturers warranty) that you can get... Not only that, but homeowners want better protection, and in Australia the weather can be unpredictable, and with the extreme Australian conditions like torrential rain, hail storms, gusty winds and bushfires affecting homes right across the country, more and more homeowners are seeking the protection of a metal roof. Metal roofs are more modern looking and have many advantages to the concrete roof tiles. Matt

To add to David's list I would note the following. Metal roofs are also lighter than their counterparts and therefore can handle more load purely from the reduction in static load. Metal roofs do not have any harmful run off potential and do not pollute the ground water. Metal roof are far less likely to accumulate mold/mildew than their wood, asphalt, and composite counterparts.

Metal roofs used to be used primarily for commercial projects. Today, however, they are a fast-growing roofing material that can be used for both residential roofing and commercial roofing Pasadena.

Many people in the United States, including Pasadena, TX, are choosing to invest in residential metal roofing. It's easy for people to understand the benefits of metal roofing.

Rain on a zinc roof is so soothing it can be found on white-noise machines and meditation apps. However, that's not all that makes it popular with homeowners today.

Convenience of metal roofs
Metal roofs have many advantages, including:
Lifespan. Metal roofs can last 40-75 years, depending on the material. Traditional asphalt roofing materials have an estimated life expectancy of roughly 12-25 years.

Endurance. If installed correctly, some metal roofs can sustain wind gusts up to 150 miles per hour, will not corrode or crack and may be impact-resistant (depending on which product you choose). In addition, metal roofs don't need the periodic costly maintenance that other roofing materials often require. However, they should be inspected periodically to make sure no repairs are required.

Fire Retardant. Metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames during a wildfire or lightning strike.

Efficient. Metal roofs reflect the suns UV and infrared light rays that contribute to roof surface radiant heat, which can result in a 10-25% reduction in cooling costs.

Environmentally Conscious. Metal roofs not only have 25-99% recycled content, depending on the material used, but are also 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof. In contrast, most shingle tear-off waste ends up as part of the building-related waste stream — up to 19 billion pounds per year.

Disadvantages of metal roofs

Expense of metal roofs. Metal roofs can be as much as two or three times more expensive than other roofing materials. While the life of a metal roof is much longer, investing in a metal roof only makes sense if you plan to stay in your home long enough to enjoy the cost benefits.

Noise. Metal roofs may be more noisy during a heavy rain or hailstorm than other products depending on the type of decking used during installation (spaced or solid). Adding more attic insulation can sometimes solve this problem, but that may increase costs.

Expansion, contraction and fasteners.Metal roofing material assemblies that are attached as large panels are designed to expand and contract as they warm and cool. However, both exposed and concealed fasteners have varying lifespans. Depending on the climate, neoprene washers and the screws used during installation may degrade and become dislodged over time.

Color match. If a repair is required or a home extension is added years later, it may be difficult to find an exact match to the existing metal.

Performance. If water accumulates anywhere on the roof because of poor-quality installation or repair, it can eventually cause serious damage. Low-grade metals may also be thinner gauge and less durable. Some metals rust in certain climates or dent more easily than others during hailstorms or from installing.

My EPDM roof must have a big section cut out to repair water damage (a leak around ac that only showed up recently, must have leaked for some time). I am looking for suggestions as to what liquid roof product to use to do the entire roof over the existing rubber roof as well as the exposed plywood from the repair. I’m leaning toward a system called roof repair herndon va but would love to find what others have used with success.

Homeowners and roofing contractors increasingly choose metal roofing for its numerous benefits. Metal roofs offer exceptional durability, longevity, and low maintenance. They are resistant to fire, pests, and adverse weather conditions. Additionally, metal roofing is energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs. Its aesthetic appeal, eco-friendliness, and potential for long-term cost savings make it a preferred choice in the construction industry.
