Metal roofing is making gains in popularity in the united states although professionals in the industry believe it has already gained wide acceptance due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. Metal roofing panels are now available in a wide range of colors and styles.

Homeowners prefer this style because it is lightweight easy to maintain and more durable than most common materials. The straight lines running up and down give it a modern flair ideal for contemporary country style and other modern homes. Standing seam systems can be used for either metal roofing which is the most common or metal walls. Just like a conventional system such as shingles metal panels come in several varieties one of which is the popular raised seam roofing.

It features pleated panels about 12 to 19 wide that connect on the vertical seam. The area where each panel joins the next is raised above the roof s flat surface. These types of metal panel roofs are called standing seam because their prominent visual feature is the raised interlocking seam which joins one panel to the next. Often called commercial roofing or agricultural panel roofing or even barn.
