Key Advantages of Skyline Roofing® vs. Skyline Roofing® hp
Standing seam metal roofing is a popular choice for homeowners and contractors looking for a clean appearance, concealed fasteners, and long-term performance. At ASC Building Products, Skyline Roofing and Skyline Roofing hp are the two primary snap-together standing seam options designed for residential use.
They share the same profile and installation method, but they differ in steel thickness, paint system, and performance intent. Those differences can help guide the right choice for each project.
What Both Skyline Roofing Panels Have in Common
Both Skyline Roofing and Skyline Roofing hp feature a 1″ standing seam with a snap-together interlock and an integrated nailing flange, allowing panels to attach directly to the roof deck.
Shared features include:
-
Snap-together standing seam design
-
Concealed fasteners
-
1″ seam height
-
Direct-to-deck attachment
-
Installation on roof slopes down to 3:12

Skyline Roofing: Balanced Performance and Value for Most Homes
Skyline Roofing is ASC Building Products’ most popular standing seam roofing panel, designed to balance performance, value, and ease of installation.
It is manufactured from 26-gauge steel and is available in 12″ and 16″ configurations, giving contractors flexibility during layout. The panel uses DuraTech® xl SMP (Silicone-Modified Polyester) paint system, which offers reliable color performance and includes a limited lifetime warranty.
Skyline Roofing also features ZINCALUME® Plus coated steel, an aluminum-zinc alloy coating that helps resist corrosion.
Skyline Roofing is ideal for:
-
Most residential homes
-
Remodels and reroof projects

Skyline Roofing hp: Thicker Steel and Commercial-Grade Paint Performance
Skyline Roofing hp is designed for homeowners who want added strength and enhanced paint performance, while keeping the same installation method and panel profile.
This panel is manufactured from thicker 24-gauge steel and uses a DuraTech® 5000/mx PVDF (fluorocarbon) paint system, a commercial-grade coating known for improved resistance in more demanding environments.
Skyline Roofing hp maintains the same snap-together interlock, nailing flange, and overall appearance as Skyline Roofing, but adds performance through material and coating upgrades.
Skyline Roofing hp is a strong choice for:
-
New residential construction
-
Homeowners wanting a heavier-gauge panel
-
Projects exposed to harsher environments
-
Applications specifying PVDF color performance
