What this means for your project
Standing-seam systems have raised panel joints and commonly conceal attachment points. Exposed-fastener systems place many fasteners through the panel face. Formed metal products can resemble smaller shingles or tiles. Within each family, seam design, substrate, accessories, and installation requirements vary. Ask for a system description before comparing broad labels. An approval document must be matched to its conditions of use and the project; finding a product name in a database is only the start.
