Choosing metal as your roofing material comes with many benefits, one of which is the large amount of color options and design possibilities available. Surprisingly, one of the colors that has recently become more popular for a metal roof is green. Currently, we offer metal panels in several unique shades of green. SMP vs PVDF: Choosing The Right Paint System For Green Metal Panels Both metal paint systems are subject to fading overtime as the UV exposure from the sun will slowly dim the roof color’s vibrancy. PVDF, the more premium paint system, has superior resistance to fading and will hold the desired roof color integrity for longer than SMP paint before fading begins to occur.
For neutral colors, such as gray or white, the difference between the two paint systems is minimal because these colors naturally lack vibrancy so the effects of fading will not be as severe. When designing with vibrant colors like green and red, the higher quality paint system is a good investment to keep your desired pigment for longer.
Siding is not subject to the same UV exposure that roofing gets from having direct sunlight so fading is less of an issue. Evergreen standing seam roof with Western Reveal White metal siding
White is arguably the most common house color to see when paired with a green roof. When you want the complete vibrant look, pair a green metal roof with a yellow house.
Green and yellow is a popular combination that has a fresh and bright appearance. Hemlock green standing seam roof with Matte Charcoal Gray T-Groove metal siding
Tan is a neutral color that allows the green metal roof to really pop and be the standout feature of the house. It’s not a coincidence that you’ll often see different shades of red and green paired together in design.
The matte color tones down the boldness of the green to offer an inviting look that is less intense compared to glossy finishes. Matte roofing colors have a warm, inviting look that is elegant and not as dramatic as a glossy finish.
