Frequently Asked Questions About Standing Seam Metal Roofing
1. What is standing seam metal roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing is a premium roofing system made of long metal panels joined by raised vertical seams. The fasteners are concealed beneath the seams, creating a clean appearance while providing superior protection against water intrusion and weather damage.
2. How long does a standing seam metal roof last?
A professionally installed standing seam metal roof can last 40 to 70 years or more, depending on the material, installation quality, and maintenance. This is significantly longer than traditional asphalt shingles.
3. Is standing seam roofing good for Colorado weather?

4. Is standing seam roofing hail resistant?
Yes. While no roofing material is completely hail-proof, standing seam metal roofing is one of the most impact-resistant roofing options available. The level of resistance depends on the gauge of the metal and the size of the hail, but these systems generally perform exceptionally well during Colorado hailstorms.
