Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing System Supplier

What Makes Exposed Fastener Systems So Versatile?

Exposed fastener system is the most economical form of metal roofing and siding. The panels are overlapped and fastened directly to the deck for framing through the face of the panel. The panel edges lap one another, and the fastener goes through both layers of the metal. These are known as exposed fastener systems as the fastener head remains visible after the installation.

Exposed fastener systems offer you some unique advantages, like:

• Wider 36” panels are available, which means you need to purchase fewer panels from exposed fastener metal roofing system supplier.
• These are available in 29 to 26-gauge metal, which is thinner and thus lowers your project cost.
• The panels are typically painted using SMP paint systems, which is less expensive compared to PVDF paint used in standing seam systems.
• Exposed fastener systems hold up to weather conditions relatively well.
• Exposed fastener system is directly fastened down to the structure through the metal, you need not buy any clips, and hence save on your installation costs.
• The panels can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, exposed fastener metal roofing system supplier, or a lumber yard, providing you with versatility in pricing, size, colors, materials, and more.
• Exposed fastener system is less labor-intensive compared to standing seam metal roofing
• The panels provide a traditional look in some geographic areas and rural regions with a lot of silos, barns, and other agricultural structures.

To blend with the panels, the exposed fastener metal roofing system supplier would suggest you to use fastener heads painted in the same color as the roofing panels. Most commonly used exposed fastener systems are typically 36” wide, which reduces the number of panels to be purchased from the exposed fastener metal roofing system supplier, and hence the labor needed to cover the roof area.
