If you’re looking for roof replacement, consider standing seam metal roofing in Lake City, FL. Standing seam roofs take their name from the raised seam formed at the panel edge during installation. Here are the benefits of standing seam roofs.
Durability
A standing seam metal roof can last from 30-50 years compared to almost 20 years for traditional roofing. They won’t crack, warp, or collapse under heavy snow or waterfall, and they could handle winds up to 140 mph when installed correctly.
Fewer Leaks
The design of the roof seam makes it more water-resistant than standard metal roofs. The fasteners are placed over the flat of the roof which acts as a water barrier. Traditional metal roofs lack this protection, and the nails installed too tightly or loosely can cause leakage.
Eco-Friendly
This type of roof is perfect for homeowners looking for green building materials. Billions of pounds of asphalt roofing material end up in landfills, but metal roofing is 100% recyclable. When a home is torn down, the panels get recycled into new products.
Lower Energy Bills and Less Maintenance
Standing seam metal roofs bounce the sun rays, your home should stay cooler possibly lowering your summer energy costs by 40% and act as insulation during colder weather. An unpainted roof will be able to reflect more sun rays than a painted one. Fewer fasteners means less debris gets trapped on the roof and less rust to remove. Metal roofs seldom get moldy because of water-resistant properties.
