Petersen Aluminum produces a variety of roofing products out of 24-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel or aluminum. Rappe favors the standing-seam line, which he speced on this house. “I love the texture of the ribs and how it can be used to accentuate the form of a building,” he says. Coated with Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 paint, the sheet metal comes in 33 colors. Petersen Aluminum Corp., 800.722.2523; www.pac-clad.com
