Metal Systems
Metal Roofing
The longest-lasting commercial roofing investment available. Standing seam and structural metal panel systems engineered for 40+ years of performance.
Why Metal
Install Once. Last Decades.
Commercial metal roofing carries the highest upfront cost of any roofing system: and the lowest lifetime cost per square foot. A properly installed standing seam metal roof on a commercial building can outlast the building's original occupants and ownership, requiring only periodic fastener checks and sealant maintenance.
Modern commercial metal roofing uses Galvalume® steel or aluminum panels coated with PVDF resin (marketed as Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000®) for color and surface protection. PVDF coatings carry manufacturer warranties of 40 years for chalk and fade: meaning the roof looks professional for its entire service life.
For new construction projects, metal is increasingly the choice of GCs and building owners who want to eliminate re-roofing cycles entirely from the building's maintenance schedule.
Metal Quick Facts
Two System Types
Standing Seam
Concealed fasteners: premium performance
- Fasteners completely concealed under raised seams
- Allows thermal expansion/contraction without stress
- No fastener penetrations through membrane
- Minimum slope ½:12
- 12–24" panel width options
- Best for: premium commercial, institutional, healthcare
Through-Fastened Panels
Exposed fasteners: structural application
- Structural panel fastened directly through face
- Lower installed cost than standing seam
- Requires periodic fastener/sealant maintenance
- Appropriate for steep-slope commercial applications
- Common in agricultural and light industrial
- Best for: warehouses, manufacturing, agricultural
