Though metal roofing has been around for over a century, it still retains a modern edge in both appearance and functionality. Once the standard for industrial, commercial, and agricultural buildings, metal roofing has evolved into a premium choice for homeowners. The SL-16 metal roofing system exemplifies this evolution, combining durability with an updated, attractive design.
Manufactured from the highest quality metal, the SL-16 roof panel system offers cost-efficient benefits and low maintenance requirements, making it ideal for residential applications.
In contrast, asphalt shingles are produced using fossil fuels and have a shorter lifespan, leading to frequent disposal in landfills compared to the long-lasting metal roofing. SL-16 standing seam roof panels are designed to last, withstanding fire and storm damage, and are Energy Star rated to keep your home energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

In Florida, we experience extreme weather conditions such as hail, high winds, and hurricanes. A common concern is that metal roofing may dent from hail or fail to withstand the intense weather.
SL-16 roof panels are designed with these extreme conditions in mind. Standing seams direct water away from the roof and seal the home to prevent leaks. The high tensile strength 29 and 26 gauge steel is coated with Galvalume, protecting the metal from weathering and impact.
Asphalt shingle roofs are highly vulnerable to gusty winds and other severe weather conditions. Issues like roof damage from strong winds and water leaks are common with traditional shingle roofing. However, SL-16 metal roofing offers warrantied protection and peace of mind, ensuring it stays secure even during severe storms.
When you choose a durable metal roofing option like SL-16 panels, you get a more worry-free experience. Metal roofing is lighter than traditional materials such as asphalt shingles, yet it outlasts other types like wood, slate, clay tiles, and asphalt.
SL-16 metal roofing is also a standing seam system, meaning fewer fasteners are exposed to the elements. This not only gives the roof a sleeker, cleaner appearance but also provides exceptional protection against rain, hail, and wind. Many homes with low-sloped roofs opt for standing seam metal roofing due to its superior protection.
Additionally, SL-16 panels are Energy Star-rated, helping to reduce your monthly energy costs. Their maintenance requirements are minimal, so you won’t need to worry about frequent repairs or replacements, unlike with asphalt shingles. With such a durable roof, you’ll enjoy peace of mind and a low-maintenance roofing experience for many years to come.
If and when you decide to sell your property, a strong and attractive metal roof increases its resale value. SL-16 roof panels offer outstanding performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency in addition to being a preferred option for roofing in general.
You might not have to worry about the costs associated with removing and discarding that old roofing material if you already have asphalt shingles. Due to its small weight, standing seam metal roofing can go directly on top, simplifying the process. Of course, you may need to check with your local building department to see if this is possible for you.
You might have SL-16 metal roofing for the rest of your life due to its durability! Standing seam metal roofing has a far longer lifespan than asphalt, lasting 50+ years with a great warranty (which seems like eons compared to asphalt’s 15-30 yr lifespan). Financially, SL-16 is a significantly better choice if you compare the price of numerous asphalt shingle roof replacements to the price difference if you had chosen SL-16 initially.
You will ultimately spend less on a one-time SL-16 installation compared to replacing your asphalt roof every 15 to 30 years, which can cost thousands of dollars each time. Additionally, inflation will drive up the cost of materials, and multiple re-roofing projects are a hassle nobody wants. Opt for SL-16 metal roofing in Florida to save money and avoid costly roof replacements!
SL-16 metal roofing resists extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, wind, hail, and hurricanes. Unlike other roofing types, SL-16 panels don’t deteriorate, shed granules, or chip. They are designed to withstand both severe storms and fires, offering exceptional durability and protection for your home.
SL-16 standing seam roof panels not only outperform asphalt shingles, but they also can outlast roofing materials like wood, clay tiles, slate, and more.
Lightweight SL-16 metal roofing blends in perfectly with the other lovely houses in your neighborhood. They are available in a range of finishes to suit your preferred style.
Since SL-16 roof panels are made of steel, they are resistant to fluctuations in the price of fossil fuels.
Unlike asphalt shingles, which after their short lifespan end up in a landfill, SL-16 metal roofing is long-lasting. It's built with room to expand and contract with time and weather and stay on your home for the long haul.
Investing in a high-quality roof will pay off in numerous ways. It's well worth the larger upfront expense, whether it prevents costly roof problems in the future, reduces energy costs, or boosts the value of your home.
The answer often lies in their lack of experience with high-quality roofing materials. This inexperience can lead to inaccurate estimates, difficulty in sourcing skilled professionals for standing seam installations, and subpar installation quality. Installing metal roofing requires more expertise and craftsmanship compared to installing an asphalt roof.
Therefore, it’s essential to choose a reliable contractor with the necessary knowledge, experience, and resources to ensure a top-quality installation.
