Choosing the right standing seam metal roof

By Jenny Yu.  

ASC Building Products outlines Skyline Roofing and Skyline Roofing hp to help contractors and homeowners determine the best material for them. 

Metal roofing continues to gain momentum across residential and commercial construction and ASC Building Products is helping guide that conversation with its recent article, “Key Advantages of Skyline Roofing® vs. Skyline Roofing® hp.” The piece outlines how two of ASC’s standing seam metal roofing systems are engineered to meet different performance expectations while delivering long-term durability, energy efficiency and architectural appeal. Knowing the distinctions between Skyline Roofing and Skyline Roofing hp allows contractors, builders and homeowners to specify the right system for each project. 

Skyline Roofing is ASC Building Products’ most widely used concealed fastener standing seam panel, offering a balance of performance and value. Manufactured from 26-gauge steel, the panel features a 1-inch rib height and snap-together seam for a clean finished appearance. Available in 12-inch and 16-inch coverage options, Skyline Roofing is designed for efficient installation with a pre-punched nailing flange. The panel is coated with ASC Building Products’ Dura Tech® xl paint system, which includes cool pigment technology to help reduce heat absorption and support energy efficiency. It also carries a Class A fire rating and has been tested for wind uplift and impact resistance, making it a reliable choice for many residential applications. 

Skyline Roofing hp expands on this foundation with enhanced materials and coatings for more demanding environments. Produced from thicker 24-gauge steel, the high performance panel offers increased strength and durability while maintaining the same concealed fastener design and 16-inch net coverage. It is finished with commercial-grade Dura Tech®5000 or Dura Tech® mx paint systems, providing greater resistance to fading, corrosion and harsh weather exposure. Like the standard version, Skyline Roofing hp meets Class A fire rating requirements and includes cool color options to support energy performance goals. 

The choice between Skyline Roofing and Skyline Roofing hp often comes down to project location, performance requirements and desired longevity.
