Are standing seam metal roofs corrosion resistant?
Aluminum, zinc or the aluminum-zinc alloy metal coating that is applied to metal roof panels help resist corrosion. Specially pigmented organic paints that harmonize the roof with conventional concrete, brick and wood sidewall materials can offer additional protection. Architects use popular beige and earth-tone colors to coordinate the roof with other design elements of the building. What are the different materials used for roofing? The different materials used for roofing are: • Aluminum: This is an extremely lightweight material that is used in much metal roofing. This metal does not rust but is painted or coated for appearance. The coatings used on this metal are similar to those used on steel. • Copper metal shingles: This metal is long lasting and visually striking. • Stainless steel: This is a metal that is very expensive and does not corrode or rust. A natural, matt-gray finish is achieved on stainless steel using the terne coating. • Steel: Steadier and heavier than aluminum,
