Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is a time-tested, practical solution that complements virtually any architectural style. Its classic design enhances the roofline, while its continuous, dramatic shadow lines run from ridge to eave, accentuating every roof angle.
Our standing seam panels are available in a variety of styles, with over two dozen cool roof color options and elegant bare metal finishes. Each panel is precision-formed into unique designs to suit any structure. They can be custom roll-formed on-site using copper, aluminum, or Galvalume® steel and coated with Kynar® or Energy Star-rated finishes to meet the latest building codes.
The result is a lightweight, durable, and visually striking roof that stands among the best in the industry.
Good Enough for our presidents
The White House features a standing seam metal roof, a testament to the material’s durability, longevity, and classic aesthetic. Installed in the early 1800s, the original metal roofing was made of lead-coated copper, chosen for its weather resistance and fireproof qualities. Over the years, the roof has undergone maintenance and upgrades while preserving its historical integrity. Today, standing seam metal roofing continues to protect and enhance the White House, demonstrating its effectiveness in both historical and modern architecture.

Materials Used & Appeal:
Both durable and lighter weight, the two most common metal roofing materials are painted aluminum and steel. These can be fashioned to look like tile or slate which is almost cost prohibitive because it is so rare and difficult to find. Other metal options are copper and stainless steel. Ultimately the decision is yours when it comes to your roof in California.
Aluminum is gaining in popularity because it doesn’t rust, is easily formed to look like cedar shakes, tiles and slate, and because it deafens the sound of rain hitting the roof. The simulated cedar shakes are the most popular particularly because they are amazingly difficult to distinguish from real cedar shakes. Aluminum is also available in many standard colors and in several energy-efficient paint options. In addition, most aluminum and steel roofs are painted with Kynar, a dense, pure plastic.
