MR-24 STANDING SEAM ROOF
The Standing Seam Roof That Never Stands Still
For more than 125 years, Butler Manufacturing™ has set the standard for durable, high‑performance roofing systems. With over 3 BILLION SQFT of ROOF INSTALLED,the MR‑24® Standing Seam Roof System remains the most trusted and time‑tested SSR roof in the industry. Engineered with premium materials, factory‑punched precision, and innovative seam technology, the Butler Building MR‑24 Standing Seam Roof Panel delivers unmatched weathertightness, structural strength, and long‑term reliability. It’s widely recognized as the strongest, most dependable standing‑seam roof available — a true example of the Butler Difference.

Weather-Tightness in Every Corrugation
The Butler Building MR‑24 Standing Seam Roof Panel is a major reason the Butler name is trusted worldwide. Since 1969, it has delivered unmatched, proven weathertight performance. Decades of field success and rigorous testing under the industry’s toughest standards confirm MR‑24 as the most reliable standing‑seam roof for long‑term, leak‑free protection.


Benefits of MR-24 SSR Panels



Add Panel strength
Butler MR‑24® Standing Seam Roof Panels feature ribs spaced 24 inches on center, creating a clean, streamlined appearance while delivering exceptional structural strength. Available in both 22‑ and 24‑gauge steel, these panels let you balance durability, performance, and budget for any Butler building project. Each MR‑24 panel includes a factory‑applied sealant groove for superior weathertightness, ensuring long‑term protection and reliable performance in demanding environments.
forces of nature
The Butler MR‑24® Roof System is engineered to withstand the forces of nature, backed by a UL Class 90 wind‑uplift rating and approvals from Factory Mutual and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Every panel splice is positioned directly over structural steel to prevent deflection and seam stress, unlike conventional midair splices. Its concealed, moveable clip anchors the roof securely while allowing full thermal movement, protecting against metal fatigue, fastener pull‑out, and wind‑driven damage for long‑term weathertight performance.
incredible finishes
Butler MR-24 Roof Panels are finished in genuine Butler‑Cote™ cool‑roof colors, formulated with premium Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® fluoropolymer coatings for long‑lasting durability and fade resistance. These high‑performance finishes deliver Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values up to 91, helping reduce heat absorption, improve building comfort, and lower energy consumption. ENERGY STAR® rated Butler‑Cote™ colors make the VSR II system an energy‑efficient choice for commercial and architectural projects.
made to move
The MR‑24® Roof System is engineered to move with the forces of nature. Its concealed roof clip—an essential but unseen component—secures each panel while allowing full thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress that can cause panel damage, fastener pull‑out, or leaks. Unlike snap‑together seams, MR‑24 uses a heavy‑duty Roof Runner machine to field‑roll the critical 180 degrees into a full 360‑degree Pittsburgh double‑lock seam, creating the tightest, most durable standing‑seam connection available. A factory‑applied sealant inside the seam ensures long‑term weathertightness, even under extreme wind, snow, and temperature swings.
In stock for Shipping
The MR-24 Standing Seam Roof Panel comes in 22 and 24 gauge and can be cut any length up to 40 feet, giving you fast turnaround for both new construction and replacement projects. Panels can be crated and shipped factory‑direct to your jobsite in just a few days, ensuring you get the exact size you need without delays. We also offer the Roof Runner Seamer for rent with certification. Whether you’re starting a new build or replacing an entire wall section, we have you covered with genuine Butler® quality and dependable delivery.
insulation benefits
The MR‑24® Roof System supports a wide range of rigid and blanket insulation options to boost energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. One of its biggest advantages is the use of high clips, which allow up to R‑32 insulation to be installed over the purlins—saving labor and improving thermal performance. Optional thermal blocks and tall clips increase insulation thickness without restricting panel movement, helping maintain interior comfort and long‑term durability. Paired with Butler‑Cote™ cool‑roof colors, the MR‑24 system delivers a highly efficient roofing solution that keeps buildings cooler and lowers overall energy use.
Butler-Cote Metal Panel Colors
Butler Cote colors are engineered for long term performance, with exceptional fade and chalk resistance that outlasts conventional paint systems. Cool Colors meet Title 24 energy standards and support LEED certification, giving your building proven longevity and a finish that protects your investment for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still deciding if a Butler building is right for your project? Here’s what most builders ask us before they get started.
Still have questions?
Talk to a real person. Call our Pro Desk Expert Line or request a callback.
What makes a Butler building different from other metal buildings?
Butler has been engineering steel buildings for over 125 years, and AM Star is an authorized Butler distributor, not a reseller of generic components. Every building you get through us uses genuine Butler engineered parts, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
Can I customize the size and layout of my building?
Yes. Butler buildings are engineered to your exact specifications, size, use, and site requirements, whether that’s a small workshop or a large industrial facility. Our team works with you from initial design through structural engineering to make sure it fits your project.
How much does a Butler building cost?
Pricing depends on size, building type, durability grade, and site conditions, so there’s no single number that fits every project. Request a quote and we’ll get you accurate pricing fast, tailored to your specific building.
How long does the process take, from quote to finished building?
Timelines vary by project scope and current fabrication schedules. Once you request a quote, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific building and location.
Do you handle engineering and permitting?
Yes. Every Butler building is engineered to meet local codes and structural requirements, with stamped drawings provided for permitting, backed by Butler’s manufacturing standards.
What's the difference between a Butler building and a barndominium?
A barndominium is one type of building you can build using Butler’s steel building system, combining residential living space with a metal building structure. It uses the same engineered components and durability standards as our other building types.
What if I'm not building new, I just need parts or repairs?
We also supply genuine Butler parts and components for repairs, replacements, or expansions, no need to order a full building. Browse our parts catalog or contact us directly.
