Aluminum Standing Seam Roof System

Metal roofing is done not just to complete a structure but also to make it durable and resilient against many factors including, harsh environmental conditions, dust and much more. A concealed fixed roof system, featuring vertical ribs with a flat space or pan in between is what composes a standing seam metal roofing system. Metal roofing is made primarily of steel or aluminum. At inception, both are produced as giant rolls in mills. Both sides of the sheet have a metallic coating which acts as a protective barrier against rust. Designated by decimal thickness, aluminum residential roofing ranges from 0.7 to 1 mm thickness.

While steel is susceptible to seawater damage overtime, aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion caused by seawater, making it an ideal choice of material for a standing seam roof system. It is because of this reason that aluminum roofing can run up to 20 per cent higher in price, depending upon the exact chosen product. Most roofing system materials perform the same but aluminum provides a certain finish warranty, especially if used around coastal areas. Exposure testing has proven that when zinc is combined with aluminium to form Galvalume, it becomes three times more effective in preventing rust than galvanized steel material.

Aluminium beats out the conventional roofing materials in many ways. The first criteria being weight. Aluminium is extremely lightweight and has the highest strength-to-weight ratio among the other commonly used roofing materials. Aluminium’s lightness and thinness also allow it to store very little heat and cool down quickly once it stops receiving direct sunlight. Its malleability and longevity are bonuses which make it practical and sustainable to be used in the long run. Having a high fire-resistant rating, aluminium metal roofs are deemed non-combustible.

Amalgamating aluminium in the standing seam roof system has added advantages since standing seam metal roofing is the most durable type of roofing and can last for around 30 years without any maintenance. For structures with several layersof roofing, the aluminium standing seam roof system is optimal since it can be installed easily and is made up of vertical panels with two seams per panel that stands vertically. Maximizing the building’s capability for using natural sunlight, modern aluminium alloys can also support the weight of heavy glass spans.
