The Most Durable Material – Metal
The most durable and often the most expensive material you can put on your roof is standing seam metal roofing. Continuous panels run from the top of the ridge down to the eaves. Between each panel is a fastener that is raised above the level of the metal roofing. This is where we get the term standing seam because the seam between the panels is raised or standing above the panels.
