Commercial Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing seam metal roofs are a popular choice for commercial buildings due to their durability, versatility, and modern aesthetic. To ensure safety and performance, high-temperature ice and water shields and snow retention systems are recommended.
- Available in bare galvanized steel, pre-finished galvanized steel, galvalume, zinc, and copper.
- Energy Star Rated Pre-Finished Steel: Provides high reflectivity and emissivity, reducing cooling costs for commercial properties in the summer.
- Spacing on the standing seams can range from 10” to 20” (or more), depending on your specific project requirements. The most common panel width is 14.25” with 7/8” standings.
- Curved panel options available for architectural features like entrance canopies or rounded rooflines.
- One thing to keep in mind is that standing seam roofs are prone to ice and snow slides, so snow retention around walkways and doorways should be considered.
