Standing Seam Metal Roofing in Hawaii Gives a Sleek, Modern Look

When it comes to metal roofing, Hawaii takes full advantage of its benefits. Standing seam metal roofs lend a sleek, modern twist to this practical and durable roofing material. Its panels run continuously from the roof’s ridgeline to the eaves, giving a standing seam roof a contemporary industrial look, and its advantages are hard to beat.

Advantages Of A Standing Seam Roof

• Moisture Protection – All metals roofs provide excellent protection against moisture, but standing seam roofs add another layer of protection. The standing seams are raised up from the level of the roof panel, so they are not in direct contact, and they won’t have water pooling on top of them. The fasteners are concealed underneath the metal, so they cannot serve as entry points for water. The seams run along the slope of the roof, instead of across the slope, which eliminates another potential point of moisture intrusion, and there are fewer total seams on a standing seam roof than on an exposed fastener metal roof.

• Tougher Material – Standing seam roofs are normally made of thicker steel than a corrugated metal roof. This means they have greater resistance to impact damage, and stand stronger against wind uplift.

• Low Maintenance – Any metal roof offers low maintenance, but a standing seam roof is virtually maintenance free. This is because of the concealed fasteners, low number of seams, and lack of horizontal seams. Unless the roof is damaged in some way and needs repair, keeping it clean should be all that is required for years of service.

• Longevity – You can expect a standing seam metal roof to last 20 years or more. Even longer than other metal roofs, which have a life expectancy closer to 15 to 20 years.
