Standing seam metal roofing is different from roofing materials in many ways, including the size and shape of the materials and the installation process. Standing seam residential metal roofing is so-named because the seams are raised above the roofing. Continuous standing seam roof panels run from the ridge of the roof to the eaves. Fasteners are used to connect the seams between the panels. Standing seam metal panels securely snap together in a way that totally conceals the fasteners. This unique design feature provides added protection against the elements and reduces the risk of experiencing structural issues with conditions that may include high winds and seasonal storms. In addition to this, it also provides a modern design element to your home, office, or building. Advantages associated with standing seam metal roofing include:
- High seams: High seams raised above the level of the roofing panel provide added protection against moisture while also minimizing issues with weak spots.
- Seam design: There are no horizontal seams and fewer seams in total, which means fewer ways for leaks to develop.
- Durability: While not impervious to damage, metal roof panels are highly resistant to wear and damage.
- Longevity: When properly installed and maintained, metal roofing systems can stick around for 30 to 50 years or more.
- “Cool roof”: According to EPA standards, metal roofing systems are considered “cool roofs” because they can be painted any color without having a serious impact on heat reflection capabilities.

One of the great things about standing seam roof installation is how much variety you’ll have with colors and styles. Granted, you won’t exactly find the full spectrum of metal roof colors you would find in a paint store. Even so, metal roofing does come in a decent assortment of hues that include varying shades of brown, gray, green, blue, orange, and red. Roof panels can be pre-formed or site-formed. Pre-formed metal roof panels are factory-made. Panels made from rolls of metal ran through a mobile forming machine are the site-formed ones. You’ll get the same level of quality with both options.

Standing seam roof panels are designed to be durable, but they’re immune to damage from storms or other conditions that could weaken or stress roofing materials. It’s also possible for nearby tree branches or other objects to scratch or puncture one or more panels. With narrow cracks, a special coating can be applied to correct the damage, a process called “membraning.” For more extensive damage, it may be necessary to replace the affected panel or panels. Panel repair or replacement may also be needed if:
- Panels were improperly installed or repaired
- There is visible waviness in flat areas (“oil canning”)
- You are seeing significant scuffing or scratching on some panels
- There are issues with the seam or fasteners affecting panels
- You are noticing surface corrosion on panels or minimal rusting occurring at cut edges
- Panels are affected by chalking or fading
