Metal roofing not only offers performance advantages like a long lifespan and lower utility expenses, but it also provides homeowners a way to enhance their home's curb appeal. With a wide range of metal roof colors and styles to choose from, metal roofing is an excellent way to upgrade the functionality and aesthetics of your home.
Exposed fastener metal roofing systems are the most economical option available to homeowners. Exposed-fastener panels 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. Concealed fastener standing seam systems are joined together by integral locking seams and are fastened to the deck with fasteners and/or clips that are hidden underneath roofing panels.
Metal roofing that looks like shingles, for instance, can mimic the appearance of slate or shake tiles. Met-Tile, on the other hand, look like clay tiles. These metal roofing systems tend to be more expensive, but they can add a lot to the aesthetics of a home and, for homeowners with HOA concerns, specialty metal roofing is often HOA compliant.
Kynar 500® paint systems offer superior long-term performance with the best resistance to fade and chalk. Other metal roof paint systems are less expensive up-front but, in general, you get what you pay for. The less expensive the paint system, the greater the potential for fade and chalk.
The specific color and finish options available will be determined by the style of metal roofing you select. You can see a selection of our metal roofing color and style options available here.
