Class A fire rating on qualifying assemblies for added protection
Energy efficient “cool roof” finishes that reflect heat and can lower cooling demand
Lightweight yet strong: reduces structural load compared to some heavy roofing materials
Superior water shedding with interlocking seams and precise flashing details
Low maintenance: no shingles to curl or granules to shed
Great for solar: compatible with clamp-on racking (no additional roof penetrations on many standing seam systems)
Wide style choices: standing seam for a clean, modern look; exposed fastener panels for budget-sensitive projects

Exposed Fastener vs. Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Choosing a metal roof often comes down to two systems: exposed fastener and standing seam. Both deliver strong weather protection and classic curb appeal, but they differ in how they’re built, how long they last, and what they cost.

Best long-term, low-maintenance: Standing seam

Best budget, simple buildings: Exposed fastener

System A

Exposed Fastener Metal Roof

Wide panels with screws through the face; screw heads visible in neat rows.

How they’re built

Uses wide panels secured with screws and neoprene washers driven through the panel face. Fasteners remain visible.

Durability & maintenance

Traditional, ribbed profile with visible screw lines great for rustic or agricultural aesthetics. Periodic fastener/washer checks recommended.

Weather performance

Excellent for sheds, barns, and value driven residential projects. Strong in wind and rain when installed correctly, but relies on fastener seals.

Cost & ROI

Lower upfront cost and fastest install best when budget is the priority or for simple roof shapes.

System B

Standing Seam Metal Roof

Interlocking vertical seams conceal clips/fasteners; creates tall ribs and a sleek, modern look.

How they’re built

Panels lock together with raised seams that hide the clips/fasteners beneath the metal for a cleaner finish.

Durability & maintenance

Clean architectural lines with no visible screws ideal for contemporary or premium residential designs and typically lower maintenance.

Weather performance

Superior water shedding and wind uplift resistance from raised, interlocking seams. Smart for harsh climates, complex roofs, and many low slope applications (verify minimum slope).

Cost & ROI

Higher upfront cost, but can reduce lifetime maintenance and may improve resale thanks to its premium look and performance.

Aesthetics

Exposed fastener:

Traditional, ribbed profile with visible screw lines great for rustic, agricultural, or utilitarian styles.

Standing seam:

Sleek, modern ribs with concealed fasteners favored for contemporary and premium residential looks.

When to choose which

Choose exposed fastener if…

You want a cost effective metal roof for simple structures or garages, or you’re optimizing initial price on a straightforward home.

Choose standing seam if…

You want a premium look, lower maintenance, better long term performance, or you have a complex roof design or tougher weather.

Pro tip: Match the system to roof slope, local climate, and complexity not just price. We can review your plans and recommend a panel profile, gauge, clip pattern, and warranty to fit your goals.
