A standing seam roof is among the most durable and maintenance-free type of any metal roof and can last over 30 years. Standing seam roofing provides additional energy reduction benefits and can be installed easily, in many instances over the existing roofing material.
The Standing Seam roofing panels can be designed with various radius roof profiles making it ideal for structures with several roof levels. This type of metal roofing is made up of vertical panels with two seams per panel that stand us vertically. Once installed, its dramatic shadow lines run continuously from ridge to eave, accenting the pitch and plane of every roof angle.
Standing Seam Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam metal roof is formed or installed by crimping each adjacent seam together sealing into one join. One of the main advantages or purposes​ is roof drain. Standing seam panels must be installed in sequence but after the recommended underlayment has been placed.
The underlayment is very important so be sure to choose the right one and I recommended using a self-adhering ice and water-shielded product. Standing seam panels are usually about 18 to 24 inches wide when finished running parallel to the slope of the roof. The panels are attached to the underlayment by using clips or fasteners allowing the metal to expand or contract as temperature changes. Using a crimping tool, crimp together both seams and keep repeating the crimping action until all panels are seamed.
