STANDING SEAM CONCEALED FASTENER PANELS

Types of Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panels

There are 3 types of standing seam metal roofing panels and all of them are a concealed fastener system. This means that the fasteners on each metal panel are not visible or exposed to the weather. Concealed fastener panels are more weather-tight and expensive when compared to exposed fastener panels.

  • Mechanically Seamed - The panel edges are connected together with a roof seamer.
  • Snap Lock Panels With Concealed Fasteners And Clips - The clips attach to the panel and fasten directly onto the roof deck.
  • Nail Strip or Nail Flange - A standing seam panel that does not use clips.

What gauge is standing seam metal roofing?

Standing seam roofing panels are the most expensive panels and use the best paint system. It wouldn’t make sense to use a light gauge steel for minimal savings and lesser performance.

What is the difference between standing seam vs corrugated metal roofs?

standing-seam-vs-exposed-fastener-video

The biggest difference between these two classic metal roofing systems is the method of attachment. Standing seam panels are a concealed fastener system which means the fasteners don’t penetrate the face of the panel during installation and they’re not visible. Corrugated panels are an exposed fastener panel, meaning that you need to drill a screw hole through the panel to fasten it to the structure.
