Your three profile options

Standing Seam roofing option by Paramount Roofing

Standing Seam

the premium choice. The panels snap-lock together with no screws showing on the surface, which removes the most common source of leaks on metal roofs. It gives you the cleanest, most refined look and the best long-term watertight protection.

R-Panel roofing option by Paramount Roofing

R-Panel

a rugged, budget-friendly panel fastened with screws through the surface. Proven, durable, and a great value for homes and outbuildings.

Desert Rib roofing option by Paramount Roofing

Desert Rib

a classic ribbed profile, through-fastened, with the same ratings and protection.

FAQ

Common questions.

Where is the metal sourced from?
All three profiles are sourced from Metal Center, Albuquerque's local manufacturer — which means shorter lead times and panels built for this climate.
What makes standing seam different from R-Panel and Desert Rib?
Standing seam panels snap-lock together with no exposed fasteners, eliminating the most common source of leaks on metal roofs. R-Panel and Desert Rib are through-fastened — proven and durable, at a lower cost.
What ratings do these metal roofs carry?
All three profiles carry UL 2218 Class 4 impact, UL 580 Class 90 wind uplift, UL 790 Class A fire, and UL 263 construction ratings — the top ratings in each category.
