A standing seam metal roof is a type of metal roofing panel that clips together with other roofing panels using a concealed fastener. A standing seam roof has wide flat areas of panel situated between vertical legs, also known as raised seams. The fasteners are looped together and concealed underneath the raised seam, which gives the roof a clean, modern aesthetic. The roof panels can be clipped to the roof decking or attached directly to the standing seam fastener. Standing seam metal roofing panels can be customized by the spacing between the vertical legs and with the colour. Standing seam metal roofs are interlocked in three main ways: snap lock, mechanically seamed and nail strips.
A metal tiled roof has the appearance of ceramic or clay tile but the cost and weight of metal. This type of roofing, like metal shingle roofing, was created as an alternative to the heavier material it is modelled after. Metal tile roofing is available in a wide variety of colours and textures. The most popular metal roof tile options are monterrey and adamante. Other tile options include finnera and armorium.

Corrugated metal roofing is made from metal sheets that have been rolled and pressed into metal panels. The panels are fixed in place with exposed fasteners (meaning the screws are visible). The traditional shape of a corrugated metal roofing sheet is round and wavy. By corrugating the roof sheet metal, instead of leaving them straight, it increases the tensile strength making corrugated metal resistant to breaking under tension. Corrugated steel roofing is available in many colours and designs. The two most common types of corrugated metal panels are ⅞” Corrugated and ½” Corrugated. Note: watertightness problems are a common occurrence in exposed fastener roofing systems.
Metal shingle roofs are intended to be an alternative to traditional asphalt, cedar, or slate shingle, but with the stability and durability of high-strength steel roofing panels. Under normal conditions and with minimal maintenance, metal roof shingles will not rot, curl, crack, break, chip, peel, or perforate. Metal shingle roofing is also very lightweight and has countless colours and textures to choose from. Metal shingles use a four way interlocking metal roofing system. This system is extremely durable and lasts decades.
A flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof commonly used in commercial or modern residential properties. Low slope roofs are more prone to water damage because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff. If water stays on the roof surface for an extended period of time, it can penetrate the roof, resulting in expensive leaks and Abbotsford roof repair. Since metal panels are weathertight and can have concealed fasteners, it makes them the perfect roofing material for low-pitched roofs. Throughout the years, Abbotsford has significantly grown and lots of modern homes are being built. Our roofing contractors specialize in flat roof installations and can make your modern home in Abbotsford stand out.

After you’ve decided on a metal roof for your home, the next step is figuring out the details. The two main decisions you need to make is the colour and style of metal panel you want.

In Abbotsford, the summers are warm and partly cloudy and the winters are very cold, wet, and overcast.

There are cheaper commercial and agricultural metal roof options available, but for the purposes of this guide, we will only look at the readily available residential metal roofing service options in British Columbia, Canada. From the style or design, to the kind of metal, paint finish and installation method used – the options seem endless, so how do you choose?

If none of the above factors are an issue for you, you are free to select any metal roofing panel you want. However, just because your roof isn't sagging or has a low pitch doesn't mean your options are endless. Many homeowners consider other factors including metal roofing cost, how the metal roof panels are installed, design options and more. Bellow we'll discuss the difference between exposed and concealed fasteners as well as standing seam roofing.

Benefits: Most affordable roofing option

Installation: Panels are installed directly to the roofs surface or deck with a concealed locking system

Roof Installation Cost: G90 Galvanized Steel: $10.00-$14.00 per square foot installed / Aluminum: $14.00-$18.00 per square foot installed / Copper:$22.00-30.00 per square foot installed

When it comes to metal roofing cost, there are many factors that affect the metal roofing prices. Roofs are classified as "easy" or "difficult" by roofing contractors based on their physical location and structure. Is there any special equipment required for installation? Is it a walkable distance? Is there anything else that will make the installation take longer?
Metal roofing cost is determined by two major design choices: interlocking panels (concealed fastener) and overlapping panels (exposed fastener). Interlocking panels are more expensive because they have more structural detail, go through a lengthy forming process, and take up more space. They also have higher quality because they are interlocked on four sides, which adds to the cost.
The roof's material plays a significant part in your new metal roof cost Abbotsford. In general, the price of roofing materials is heavily influenced by raw material supply and demand, as well as processing costs. The roof underlayment, as well as the type of metal roof you choose, plays a part in the cost.
The architectural shape of your home can increase your steel roof cost. When there are numerous angles, dormers, and skylights to cut around, the job becomes more difficult and expensive.
It goes without saying that the larger the roof, the more expensive the materials. Metal roof prices are usually higher with a steeper slope roof, simply because the contractor requires a larger crew and more equipment to ensure the job is done safely. It also takes longer, which adds hours to the total cost.
The finish / coating your metal roof has will play a part in the cost of the overall project. Polyester-based paint is the most cost-effective type of coating. It is inexpensive due to its short lifespan. PVDF, or Polyvinylidene Flouride, is considered the best roof coating due to its durability, chalk and fade resistance, and adhesion.

Moss is bad for your roof, whether it’s made of cedar shakes, tiles, metal or composite shingles. Moss is wet by nature, and constant moisture on your roof can cause extensive rot. This can lead to holes, thin spots and eventually roof leaks. Roof moss also grows steadily and can work its way underneath your roof panels, pushing them up and causing damage to your roof. A mossy roof can even reduce your roof life by up to 50%!
Luckily there's a solution. Ken’s Metal Roofing provides thorough roof moss removal and roof washing services for homes all over British Columbia. Whether you have an asphalt shingle roof, a standing seam steel roof, or a cedar shake roof, our moss removal experts can remove moss, algae and lichen growth and restore your roofing system.
