Standing Seam Metal Roof Systems 

We engineer our standing seam metal roof systems to withstand low, intermediate, and high load conditions. Each roof seam is formed on-site after panel installation to help ensure wind loading and uplift requirements are met. The seam type is selected based on your project’s specific wind uplift criteria. 

Behlen metal roofing systems deliver superior performance. Choosing the right standing seam roof (SSR) systems depends on your project’s requirements, such as structural demands, installation needs, location, and aesthetic preferences.

Retrofit Reroofing 


Retrofitting existing roofs is a straightforward, cost-effective way to extend the life of your building. The existing roof stays in place during installation, allowing business operations to continue without interruption. The Behlen Retrofit System dramatically improves curb appeal. It also enhances proper roof drainage, weathertightness, and offers increased energy-savings.

Roof and Wall Panel Colors 

Our North American manufacturing facilities offer similar, but slightly different, color selections for roofs and wall panels. Your build site’s location may influence which color options are most economical. Regardless of where your Behlen building is manufactured, we’ll work with you to ensure it meets your desired aesthetic.
