Differences Between  Standing Seam metal Roofing And Corrugated Steel Roofing

 

Nowadays,different types of metal roofing and wall claddings enable to perfectly complete all kinds of architectural styles.While metal roofing sheets are definitely the final roofing solution when compared against other materials, the way a metal roofing is designed can also make a difference in its function and apprearance. You may have heard of a curved metal roofing,or color steel roofing.But when it comes to corrugated metal roofing and standing seam metal roofing, homeowners are scratching their heads and trying to figure things out. So here we will have a detailed comparision as follows to help you figure them out.

 

☆ What’s standing seam roofing?

The standing seam roof system is an upright locking point supporting roofing system, which has a good visual effect. The machine is used to continuously lock adjacent side edges of the board during installation, and the metal roof panel does not need to be perforated during installation. The metal panel surface remains intact and has good water resistance.The material can be steel sheets,Al-Mg-Mn alloy metal sheets,Titanium zinc metal sheets,aluminum sheets,etc.And mainly used material is Al-Mg-Mn alloy metal sheets and titanium zinc metal sheets.

☆ What’s corrugated steel roofing?

The corrugated metal sheet actually covers a wide range. It refers to the metal corrugated sheets that is pressed by the equipment roller and can be applied to the roof, wall and floor.And let’s back to roofing,the corrugated roofing is including standing seam roof and other joint way metal roofing.And we discussed here is common joint way metal roofing.The material can be steel sheets,Al-Mg-Mn alloy metal sheets,Titanium zinc metal sheets,aluminum sheets,etc.

Our roof types for reference:

 

 

☆ Different points summary:

1) Joint way & Appearance difference:

Standing seam roofing system is based on standing seam locking design,which is mainly targeted for the large span self-supporting close installation system.When installation,there is no need to drill the holes,and metal panel could stay intact.In this way,standing seam roofing system has excellent performance in waterproof.

Corrugated steel roofing is one with interlocking rippled metal sheets. And it describes anything with a surface that is shaped into alternate ridges and grooves.

2) Fastening System difference:

The fastening system of standing seam metal roofs is better and more reliable,and it doesn’t have any screws on the roof.The seams of a standing seam metal roof are raised above the surface, the screws are completely concealed and safely protected by the roof surface, giving standing seam metal roofs a streamlined look that can never be created by its counterpart.

The corrugated metal panels even the exposed screws can be covered by screw caps,but still have risk about water leakage,if installation treatment is not good.

 

3) Performance and Durability:

Standing seam roof system has a more durable and less prone to leak, rusting, and lifting than corrugated metal roof system.No only because the different material used,but also the installation way.Standing seam roof can be long life at least 30 years,and corrugated steel roofing can be 10-22years,according to which coating type it used.
