Benefits Of Exposed Fastener Roofing

1. Budget-Friendly Builds

Exposed fastener roofings require wider panels – often 36″ or more to cover the same area. It reduces the installation time and labor costs. Besides, the metal gauges used for exposed fastener roofing are thinner. Exposed fastener roofs cost around $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot, whereas a steel standing seam metal roof costs around $12.00 to $16.00.

The installation is also quicker. You will need no complex seam locking. Besides, since most people use exposed fastener roofing, you will find more expert contractors for faster installation. Good crews can easily install a 1500-2000 sq. ft. roof within a day. It reduces the disruption of your daily life.

The exposed fastener roofing can withstand Milwaukee Roofing Experts’s harsh weather. It can handle Wind speeds over 120 mph, snow loads of 40–70 psf, freeze-thaw cycles, and pests. The ribbed and corrugated panels add better structural rigidity.

The exposed system does not require hidden clips, lock seams, or expensive transition trims. It makes the installation easier for contractors. Besides, you can easily inspect the roof condition near future. Simplicity also ensures more perfection in roofing.

You will have 20+ color options with a factory finish to create a custom look. It makes the system functional without sacrificing aesthetics.

The exposed fasteners are easy to inspect. Homeowners and or maintenance crews can visually inspect the fasteners and re-tighten them easily.
