Leading the list is the tremendous variety of exciting shapes and colors that today's products offer. In addition to these aesthetic advantages, residential metal roofing is easily installed and offers longevity, energy savings and exceptional durability, even under extreme weather conditions.
To meet homeowner aesthetic and budgetary preferences, metal roofing is available in a wide variety of styles. Metal roofing panels are classified as either exposed fastener or concealed fastener.
Exposed-fastener panels are the most economical option and are typically installed over solid decking (or existing shingles and furring strips for re-roof applications) and are attached with fasteners that penetrate through the metal panel and into the roof deck below. Since the fasteners are visible, they are coated in colors that match the metal roofing panels. Popular exposed-fastener panels for residential applications include Max-Rib, Mesa and 5V.
