Standing seam roof is a popular kind of cool metal roofing for steel buildings. Basically, a standing seam can be described as a side-by-side formation of vertically standing or laying metal panels. The name “standing seam” was derived from the manner the panels are joined together at the sides, with the overlapping panel lock forming a seam that connects the panels.
In the beginning, the use of standing seam roof system was limited to steel buildings in commercial and industrial applications. At present, standing seam roof is used in government buildings, banks, restaurants, gas stations, and even power plants. Even homeowners, in an effort to attain that modern fresh look, are also demanding standing seam roof for their houses.
Other benefits derived from standing seam roofing system for steel buildings are:
· Offers long lasting protection
· Offers peace of mind
· Roofs easily shed ice and snow, preventing ice dams
· Keeps roofs light
· Helps with ventilation of the roof
Basically, there are three different types of standing seam which include:
· Field Locked Standing Seam – uses special locking tool to adjoin the panels in the construction site
· Snap Lock Standing Seam – locks the panels together at the overlapping side
· Standing Seam Shingle Based Panels – imitates the look of standing seam roof panels, but are actually vertical shingle panels
It’s good to know that standing seam can be installed even on steel buildings with low-sloped roofs, for example, a roof pitch of 2:12. The standing seam roof is fastened directly to the purlins of steel buildings.
