Low slope metal roofing has several advantages over higher slope metal roofing. Low slope metal roofing tends to be easier and less expensive to install than higher slope metal roofing. A low slope metal roof requires less material and, in addition to being less expensive, reduces the load on the structure of the building.
Low slope metal roofing is often found in large single-story buildings and some pre-engineered metal buildings. Low slope metal roofing results in lower building heights. Low slope metal roofing is best suited to square shaped buildings without hips or valleys.
The roof must be properly designed to prevent ponding water. Mechanically seamed systems that incorporate sealants within the design often perform best. Another factor that reduces leakage in low slope metal roofing is using single panels the length of the building.
