Top Types of Residential Metal Roofs

If you’re looking for the ultimate protective material that gives your home a durable, long-lasting roofing solution, you may want to consider metal roofing.

Because your home is probably the biggest investment you have ever made, you need to protect it with a strong, beautiful metal roof, which in many instances will last you up to 75 years when well maintained. In the event you decide on a metal roof for your Burlington NC home, it can be difficult choosing the right type.

Your Greensboro and Burlington roofer can point you in the right direction. Here are the top five choices of metal roofing.

1. Standing Seam Metal Roofs

A modern, seamless take on traditional metal roofing, standing seam panels attach to the roofing system with concealed fasteners. This, as the name implies, conceals the hardware from public view – something that sits very well with today’s homeowners. This type of roof beautifies the property with clean, crisp lines.

Like any other type of roofing material, you can choose from a variety of colors for standing seam panels to result in a sturdy and weather-tight roofing solution.

2. Corrugated Metal Roofs

When you picture metal panel roofs, you probably picture this type. That’s because this is the type of metal roofing that’s been around the longest, often chosen for its durability, wavy panel pattern, and ability to hide flaws. Panels utilized an exposed fastener system, available in a variety of colors and profiles.

3. All-Purpose Metal Roofs

An exposed fastener metal panel system, this is one of the easier metal roof options to install and maintain. Their hallmarks include strength, traditional appearance, and exceptional performance, which is why so many homeowners choose all-purpose metal roofs. You have many profiles and colors to select from, resulting in a modern steel look backed by durability that lasts the test of time.

4. Metal Shingles

These can resemble the appearance of asphalt shingles, and are often chosen because they complement residential homes in the best way possible – more so than any of the above types. These low maintenance, durable, aesthetically-pleasing shingles can be used on any kind of home in any style.

5. Bold Box Rib Roofs

The box-shaped pattern of this type of roof features an anti-siphon groove to keep the elements out. It’s the heaviest duty roofing solution available, perfect for all climates, whether you live in a heat high or high cold area. Choose bold box rib roofs for their structural integrity backed by an exposed fastener system; however, keep in mind they result in a more industrial look to residential homes.

Each of the top types of metal roofs we have outlined above brings its own advantages and drawbacks to the table. The one you choose will depend heavily on your style, budget, home and climate. That said, ALL metal roofs are long-lasting and durable, no matter which type you settle on.
