Wood Roofing Systems

Decorative refers to small panel, formed into the shape of tile roofing which are interlocked in much the same way as tile.  The surface has bonded colored granule allowing for a variety of looks.  Again, there are no exposed fasteners with this style of metal.  Decorative metal is a great choice if a tile look is wanted and the structure is not designed for the heavier cement tile.

Standing Seam is the most popular style and refers to long panels of colored metal, 12 to 24 inches wide with raised seams running up the face creating a sleek, modern appearance.

Types of Metal Roofing:

Modern metal roofing is high tech and high style and will virtually last forever.  Metal roofing is usually 24 or 26 gauge in thickness, so it is very sturdy but, at the same time, very lightweight.  Metal is also fireproof and, depending on your location, may help lower your home insurance.
