Your Partner in the Roofing Business

When it comes to metal roofing, two of the most common panel types are standing seam and exposed fastener . Each option has its own strengths, price points, and best-use scenarios. Understanding the differences can help contractors and homeowners choose the right fit for their project.  At Platinum Metals , we manufacture both styles and support our customers in selecting the best solution for their budget, building type, and long-term goals.

When it comes time to replace a roof, most homeowners default to what they know—shingles. But more and more are discovering the long-term value of metal roofing as a better investment in both performance and peace of mind. At Platinum Metals , we work with contractors every day who are helping their customers make the switch from shingles to metal. And the results speak for themselves. 🏠 Durability That Lasts Decades Shingle roofs typically last 15–20 years, while a properly installed metal roof can easily last 40–70 years . That’s double—or even triple—the lifespan, which means fewer replacements over time and more value for the homeowner. ☀️ Energy Efficiency That Pays Off Metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10–25% during hot months. Shingles absorb and hold heat, making HVAC systems work harder. Metal not only lasts longer—it works smarter. 🌧 Superior Weather Protection From heavy rain and snow to high winds and hail, metal roofing offers unmatched protection. Our systems can be installed with standing seam panels that lock tightly together and resist the elements better than overlapping shingles. 🌎 Eco-Friendly and Recyclable Most metal roofing is made from recycled content , and at the end of its lifespan, it’s 100% recyclable. Shingles, by contrast, contribute millions of tons of waste to landfills every year. 💰 Long-Term Cost Savings While metal roofing often has a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings are significant. Fewer repairs, lower energy bills, and less frequent replacements all add up. In many cases, the total cost of ownership is less than asphalt over time.
