We require at least a 3 / 12 pitch for standing seam panels, to ensure proper water drainage. This means that the minimum roof slope required for panels is 3 inches of rise per foot.
• Installing a metal roofing system is a skilled craft that requires considerable trade knowledge and experience. It is not the intent of this guide or BBM to train individuals in the skills required to properly install a metal roof system or to convey all the necessary trade or general construction
Standing Seam Metal Roof Spacing: Importance and Guidelines
Jul 27, 2023 · When it comes to installing a standing seam metal roof, one crucial factor that should not be overlooked is the spacing between the metal panels. Proper metal roof spacing is essential for ensuring the roof’s structural integrity, preventing leaks, …
Architectural Details: Roofing Systems - Standing Seam Roofing
Standing seam roofing is composed of preformed or field formed pans, usually about 18 to 24 inches wide when finished. The recommended dimensions should be specified from the table below.
The Nucor Roll LockTM seam requires the roof panels be seamed with the manual seaming tool only at the panel clips, the eave, the high side of the roof panels and at the end laps.
We recommended at least a 3/12 pitch for standing seam panels to ensure proper water drainage. This means the minimum slop of the roof requires 3” of rise per foot.
The minimum slope for standing seam roofing as built is 3º (5%). It is possible to cover barrel shaped roofs with a panel that runs continuously across the apex of the roof. Any zinc surface that is wider than 500mm should be considered as roofing and therefore the 3º minimum would be applicable. Below this width, for
In almost every case, your ZL-16TM roof system is accomplished with one consistent purlin spacing, one panel size, and one clip throughout the entire roof. The Behlen ZL-16TM Roof System accommodates all three roof zones simply and efficiently by executing one of two seaming shapes.
Standing seam panels offer little or no diaphragm stability to the structure, and may not be relied upon for diaphragm support unless sufficient test data is provided.
It is important to note that standing seam roof system clips (designs and configurations) are specific to the dimensional characteristics and seam design of a particular metal panel profile and often the manufacturer.
