Exposed Fastener, or known by some as Screw Down Panels, are your more common panels installed on residential projects. It’s aesthetics are not as popular as a Standing Seam Metal Roof but pricing is typically more appealing to smaller homes.
Exposed Fastener roofs involve driving fasteners through the panels and directly into the roof deck. The edges of the panels overlap, and fasteners are screwed through both layers. The fasteners remain visible.
Save time on installation: With EF roofs, you don’t have to hand or mechanically-seam the panels together. Having the panels overlap and fastening them together at the same time means a reduction in overall labor; ergo saving in cost.
