We chose to go with a 24 gauge Galvalume metal roof product made by Englert and installed by Bradford Standing Seam.
We had looked at many options for the roof and were attracted to metal because it is long lasting and we will never have to replace it in our lifetimes. Metal roofing from Englert is Energy Star approved and has been included in the government's energy efficiency tax credit program.
Standing seam metal roofing is installed using a portable panel-forming machine that allows the team from Bradford to custom form each piece on site. It was fascinating to watch the roll of pre-colored metal go in one side of the trailer and come out the other ready to go. A computerized cutter was used to measure each panel exactly.
Prior to arrival onsite, they manufacture all the trim and flashings in their shop so that the installation goes quickly.
Englert has many color options and a really cool color visualizer on their site. We went with Dove Gray.
