Exposed fastener steel roofing offers dependable protection with a straightforward design. Ideal for residential, agricultural, and light commercial structures, this system uses overlapping metal panels fastened directly through the face of the panel into the roof deck or framing. It’s one of the most cost-effective metal roofing options available — durable, easy to install, and built to withstand the elements.

Strong, Simple
Built to last

Exposed fastener steel panels handle wind, snow, and rain with ease. When paired with proper underlayment and fastener placement, they provide a solid barrier against the elements. These systems are also fire-resistant, making them a safe choice for rural properties or homes with heavy tree coverage.

Exposed fastener steel roofing is known for its strength and reliability. The visible fasteners make it easy to install and maintain, keeping costs lower than concealed systems like standing seam. It’s a practical option for homeowners who want the benefits of metal roofing without the higher price point.

Exposed fastener panels are typically made from 29- or 26-gauge steel and come with protective coatings to resist rust, fading, and corrosion. Proper maintenance, such as checking fastener tightness and sealant condition every few years, can further extend the roof’s lifespan and performance.

Affordable metal roofing
Without sacrificing quality

Exposed fastener steel roofing provides long-term performance at a fraction of the cost of other metal roofing types. When installed correctly, it can last 30 to 50 years with minimal maintenance. Key benefits include:

  • Lower material and labor costs
  • Fast installation with fewer components
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Great for steep and low-slope roofs
  • Available in a variety of colors and panel profiles

Whether you’re roofing a home, garage, pole barn, or outbuilding, this option delivers real value without compromising on durability.
