Common Questions

Exposed Fastener Metal FAQs

How long does exposed-fastener metal last?

Typically 30–40+ years. The gasketed screws may need attention over the decades, and we install them to last.

Is it good for a house, or just barns?

Both. It's common on homes where budget matters, as well as agricultural and shop buildings.

How is it different from standing seam?

The fasteners are visible on the panel face, which lowers cost, where standing seam conceals them for maximum longevity.
