The popularity of screw-down roofs is threefold. First, it is less expensive than a standing seam roof. Second, it's easier to install, and lastly, it's a lifetime roof. Both roof types will help reduce your homeowners insurance. Metal roofs withstand hail, fire and wind damage much better than shingled roofs! Just ask your Insurance Agent about the premium savings! |

Metal roofing is very popular in Central Texas. The beauty, durability,
and ease of maintenance are quite appealing. Metal roofs can best be
catagorized into 2 types, those attached with exposed fasteners and those
attached with hidden fasteners.
The
standing seam roof is the most durable and maintenance-free metal roof in the
world. It is usually constructed of a heavy-duty steel panel which is seamed
together. There are no exposed fasteners with this system. Standing seam roofs
are among the most expensive metal roofs in the market. They come is a wide
variety of beautiful colors and a few different profiles. Once installed, they
will last virtually a lifetime!
Roofs
with exposed fasteners, often called screw-down roofs, are very popular and very
durable. The most common type of screw-down roof is the Galvalume Channel-Drain
system. Whether it's a Standing Seam or Screw-Down roof, there are many
different profiles available in Central Texas. The Channel-Drain is the most
common in our area.
Screw-down
roofs are attached with exposed fasteners as shown in this illustration. The
watertight seal is achieved with the help of a Neoprene washer. The only real
maintenance with a screw-down roof is the periodic changing of old screws and
washers. Other than that, they last just as long as a standing seam.
