Key points
An overview of concealed seams, drainage, installation and project coordination in standing seam aluminum roofing systems.
Concealed fixing and continuous seams
A standing seam roof is designed around concealed clips and continuous panel seams, reducing exposed fasteners across the main roof surface.
Drainage and movement
Panel direction, slope, gutters and movement allowance should be coordinated so the system can handle water flow and temperature changes.
The system is more than the panel
A reliable result depends on clips, substrate, insulation, waterproofing, flashings and installation quality as much as on the metal sheet itself.
