Our qualified personnel can help you ascertain the perfect match of metal roofing type with your style preference. We provide three basic system types based upon construction and attachment methods. Each type offers different style options with specific advantages and appearances.
Vertical Seam
We offer two basic types of vertical seam roofing solutions: Snap-Lock Standing Seam and Mechanical Lock Standing Seam. The concealed fasteners of ClickLock Standing Seams combine the advantages of low-maintenance and fantastic longevity with a sleek, linear style. The economical Mechanical Standing Seams are installed using a screw hem system that allows for expansion and contraction due to weather temperature changes.
Pre-Formed Panels
The traditional-style roofing such as the shake and shingle is built with painted pre-formed panels that interlock. They are attached to the roof deck with hidden fasteners, which lends itself to a pristine look that will last far longer than traditional shakes and shingles.
Granular Coated Panels
Granular coated panels offer an added texture to the surface by embedding granules of stone within the acrylic coating. You can have the look of weathered shakes without the risks of flamability or rotting. They can be installed in a couple of different ways, either over a batten/counter batten wood grid system or to the deck of the roof.
