Metal roof systems are an alternative for sloped roofs, especially when durability and weather-resistance are primary concerns. The different systems are engineered not only to accommodate the slope of a structure’s roof, but to provide pleasing aesthetics.

• Architectural metal panel roof systems shed water and are intended for use on steep-slope roofs.
• Structural metal panel roof systems are used on both low- and steep-slope roofs. They are especially appropriate for low-slope roofs because of their hydrostatic, or water barrier, characteristics.
• Metal shingle panel systems provide the same hydrostatic characteristics, and are often preferred for smaller roof areas.
