Types of Metal Roofs
As one of the first metal roofing panels to gain nationwide popularity, 5V-Crimp has been used for decades. 5V-Crimp is versatile and performs well in residential areas.
Standing seam metal roofing panels are secured in place by concealed fasteners, and connected side by side by means of an overlapping/locking mechanism forming a raised rib/standing seam. This system helps to prevent any leaking.
Metal can also be made to resemble tile, shingle or a slate roof. This gives you the look that you may desire in a roof with all the benefits of a metal roofing system.
Advantages/Disadvantages of Metal Roofs
There are many benefits to installing a metal roof, whether it be for a residential home, or a commercial building.
Advantages Include:
-
Great for the environment, energy efficient: Metal roofs are environment friendly, being made from 30-60% recycled material. Metal roofs are also excellent insulators, and can save you money by lowering your cooling and heating costs.

Low maintenance: Metal roofs are virtually maintenance free when installed properly.
