Standing Seam vs. 5V Crimp — Aesthetic and Functional Differences 

Written By Alsteel Roofing Metal Roofing Supply

Modern Precision Meets Timeless Design 

 Both Standing Seam and 5V Crimp are proven roofing systems — but they serve different needs depending on your project’s design and environment. 

 Standing Seam 

A premium system with concealed fasteners that allow movement while providing superior leak protection. Its sleek, modern look makes it ideal for residential, commercial, and architectural projects — especially in coastal or hurricane zones. 

 5V Crimp 

Known for its traditional coastal style and easy installation, this exposed-fastener panel is a cost-effective solution for barns, sheds, and classic homes. It’s lightweight, fire-resistant, and available in mill finish or colors. 

 Pro Tip: 

Choose Standing Seam for a modern, long-lasting investment and 5V Crimp for simple elegance and affordability. 

👉 Get both systems from ALSTEEL, proudly manufactured in Fort Myers, FL — serving contractors across Southwest Florida.
