Standing Seam Metal Roofers

Standing seam is an industry style for vertical sheet metal roofing panels. It’s one of the most popular metal roofing styles for commercial buildings as well as homes.

Over the past 10 years Standing seam metal roofing has been growing in popularity due to it being weather-tight, its sleek and modern look, as well as how long it’s expected to last.

What is a Standing Seam Metal Roof?

Standing seam metal roofs are a concealed fastener roofing system which features trapezoidal or vertical legs with a flat space in between. This metal roofing system is one of the most weather-tight and durable roofing systems available. Its concealed fastener safeguards the fasteners so they aren’t exposed to the elements which could cause them to fail over time. Since these panels are attached to the roof deck with clamps, they’re free of any holes from nails or other fasteners which could allow moisture to seep through.

Advantages of Standing Seam Roofs

Mechanically seamed panels are similar to snap-lock panels, however the clips securing them in place must be crimped together with a machine or by hand. There are four basic standing seam metal roof panel styles: double lock seam, symmetrical seam, one-piece snap-lock interlock and two-piece snap-lock interlock.
