I cannot make sense of all the types/variations of "standing seam" roofs - methods of fastening, etc. Where can I locate a good overview of the choices with comments, reccs,costs cpmarisons,etc so that I can become an informed roofbuyer and not a passive recipient of local preference. My roof need sto be ordered soon - OSB being laid. Also, what upgrades to the standard 30lb felt are available?

You are bringing up a very good point. Metal roofing is available in so many styles, designs, and finishes today that it can be confusing to figure out what is best for your own home. Any of the individual MRA member manufacturers, if you contact them, should have customer service people who can talk you through all of this. Additionally, if you prefer to call any of the Experts from the website, we will be glad to help as well. This is really too complex of an issue to try to give a good answer here. I do not know of any comprehensive document the likes of which you're seeking. Maybe I will try to create one someday! If you wish, you can call me at my office at 1-800-543-8938 ext. 201 As far as underlayment, there are various self-adhering rubber membranes available today as well as several poly-based underlayments including Sharkskin, RoofTopGuard, Tri-Flex 30, and Titanium.
