STANDING SEAM MECHANICAL LOCK
Standing seam mechanical lock is a type of metal roofing system where the seams are mechanically fastened and locked together for added strength and weather resistance. This design ensures a secure, watertight seal by folding the edges of the metal panels over each other, then mechanically crimping or locking them in place with our seamers. This method enhances the roof's ability to withstand high winds and heavy rain, making it a reliable option for areas with extreme weather conditions. We offer a single folding system and a double folding system. Standing seam mechanical lock performs exceptionally well for roofing slopes from .5/12 and above.
The standing seam snap lock profile is a type of metal roofing system where the panels are designed to "snap" together by force, creating a secure, watertight seam without the need for mechanical fastening or crimping. The panels have interlocking edges that are pressed together, allowing for quick installation and a clean, sleek appearance. This system is ideal for residential and light commercial applications, offering a durable, low-maintenance roofing solution with excellent weather resistance. Its ease of installation and minimal visible fasteners make it a popular choice for modern architecture. Snap lock is available for roofing pitches that are 3/12 and above.
