Standing Seam Roofing and Architectural Panels

Standing Seam - Architectural Panels
Architectural Standing Seam systems can be installed over open framing or a solid substrate such as, wood decking, rigid board insulation or metal deck. Minimum roof slopes may be required for certain panel profiles. You have the choice of a “snap” together profile or mechanically seamed that uses an electrical seaming machine that insures a complete weather-tight connection. Other features that are available are: High/Low Clips, Floating/Fixed Clips, UL-90 Rating and FM Rating (which may help in your insurance classification). A floating clip system fully accommodates any thermal expansion/contraction requirements you may have. Most standing seam roof systems minimize fastener penetrations, which are the main cause for roof leak problems.
A wide variety of panel profiles, panel gauges, panel widths and paint finishes are available. A weather-tightness warranty is also provided upon request, if certain project criteria are met and approved by the panel manufacturer.

Some applications for these panels are: panels can be turned down over the eaves to form a wall fascia appearance, canopies, fascades, equipment screens, residential roofs, steep sloped conditions and much more. Please contact our sales office for help in determining which profile, application and weather-tightness warranties which may be best for your project.

Standing SeamPanel Notes:

  1. Please inquire for embossing, special gauge availability, special colors or finishes. Some profiles may require minimum quantities and longer lead times.
  2. Embossing will help to minimize oil canning. Oil Canning is not a cause for panel rejection.
  3. Coverage widths may vary with certain profiles. Please inquire.
  4. Panels SSA-2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 require a field seaming kit to field form panel side-laps. A rental fee is required.
  5. Panels SSA-7, 8 & 9 should only be installed over a solid substrate.
  6. Panels SSA-1 thru SSA-6 have factory applied mastic in the female seam.
  7. Some of the above panels can also be used in a commercial application. Please inquire.
  8. Panel Striations & Pencil Ribs help to reduce oil canning. Oil Canning is not a cause for panel rejection.
  9. Some profiles offer other widths. Please inquire.
  10. For UL-90 & FM testing data, please inquire.
  11. All the above panels are not recommended for wall applications, but may be used on a return down fascia.
