Metal standing seam pitched over-roof

Metal standing seam systems are the industrial or commercial building equivalent to the copper or lead roof systems traditionally used on churches. They have no through fixings and no end laps to ensure total weather protection. The use of clip fixing and a standing seam profile allows for thermal movement of the full length sheets. The introduction of mini-rib stiffeners provides greater design strength, whilst maintaining the aesthetic appearance. The design is particularly suitable for aggressive weather conditions.

Solution

• No penetrative fixings and no end-laps ensure total weather protection.
• Offers a flexible and lightweight option for the refurbishment of failed roof cladding systems. In most cases can be installed on top of the existing roof.
• Offers an opportunity to enhance the building’s thermal performance and change its appearance.
• By increasing the amount of insulation beneath the external sheet, higher U-values can be achieved.
• Provides an opportunity to be roll-formed on site in lengths of more than 120 metres.
