Standing Seam or Flat Seam Metal Roofs
It’s the pitch of your roof that will decide this for you. How do you determine pitch?
- From the peak of your roof, measure out horizontally 12 inches.
- From that 12 inch mark, measure down until you touch the roof, mark the measurement. For example, 3 inches down.
- This would be considered 3/12 roof pitch.
- Flat seamed roofs are any measurement less than a 3/12 pitch. Any thing higher is recommended for a standing seam roof.
Tin or Copper Roofs

- Less Expensive
- Alter Color to Your Choice
