Understanding the Difference Between Standing Seam – Metal Roofs

Metal roofs in Chicago, and everywhere else, may often look similar, but there are some very important differences in the panels that are installed. This difference comes down to the way the metal roofing panels lock down to the roof and to each other, to ensure the most secure, durable, waterproof, and attractive roof possible. Whether they are custom made panels from Pac-Clad, or fabricated panels from steel sheets in a sheet metal shop, the locking technique can make all the difference. With many different systems and deviations from the basics, below are the most popular metal roofing panel installation styles.

The most widely used style of locking metal roofing panels is the Snap Lock. This style can be used very efficiently during installation and still provides some of the best durability possible. When manufactured by Pac-Clad, the style is called Snap-Clad. Snap-Clad panels feature a 1-3/4” leg height and a continuous interlock for improved structural performance and wind resistance. A concealed-fastener clip system allows for thermal expansion/contraction while providing extraordinary hold-down strength. Two clips are available: a standard clip for most mansard and fascia applications, and a high-performance clip for roofing applications and UL 90-rated assemblies. This style is designed for roofs with a pitch of 2/12 or more.

The next popular style of installing, or locking, standing seam metal roofs is the single lock, called the PAC-150 from Pac-Clad. PAC-150 roofing panels feature a 1.5” leg height which requires mechanical field seaming to 90°.

Right after the single lock metal roofing installation system, comes the double lock installation system. The Pac-Clad standing seam roof panels are the same size and shape as the single lock, but are instead bent to 180°. This doubles the weather protection and increases the durability of the installation of these metal roof panels.

Metal roof panels from Pac-Clad and our own fabricated panels have a concealed-fastener clip designed to allow for maximum design flexibility. These panels combine an attractive thin-rib profile with superior structural performance. PAC-150 panels are designed for application over a wide variety of substrates in slopes as low as 1:12 pitch. Regardless of the panels and locking styles used, all Pac-Clad metals feature the Kynar 500 coating, which protects the metal from deterioration and color fading due to weathering, pollution, heat, salt, or dirt.

As an additional option on standing seam metal roofs, many owners and architects decide to install a snow retention system. This helps prevent snow and ice from sliding down the roof and causing possible damage and injury. The most popular snow guard system is the S-5 ColorGard. With a sleek design, this system is the most effective as it covers the entire length of the standing seam panel, while also matching the color and appearance of the existing standing seam metal roofs. The S-5 snow guard system will last just as long as your standing seam roof, without adding any unnecessary penetrations to your metal roof.

The decision on which metal roof panel lock system and snow guard system to install is usually based on the aesthetics and design of the roof. Due to this, the architect involved will often specify which style will work best. With no architect involved, the decision comes down to the homeowner and metal roofing contractor.

Church Steeple Replacement in Lemont, Commercial Metal Roofing Project

Churches are a staple of the community they are involved in and provide comfort and peace to those around them. That is why we were more than happy to work with Bethany Lutheran Church to replace the steeple and fixtures that got damaged during a storm, and bring the church back to its beauty.

The whole process began with scaffolding being set up by Chicago Scaffolding, which allowed our Smart Roofing sheet metal crews to safely and efficiently access the steeple. After tearing off the existing damaged paneling, we replaced damaged wood, installed new high temperature underlayment, and began working on replacing the steeple. We installed Pac-Clad / Petersen Aluminum precision series cupped tile in a cityscape color, which matched the shape, style, and color of the panels that were on the Lemont church steeple before. With some additional restoration of the steeple cross and ornamental fixtures done by our experienced sheet metal crews, this church steeple replacement in Lemont turned out to be another great Smart Roofing project.

Residential Metal Portico Roof in Arlington Heights

One more standing seam metal roof we completed in the past year was a metal portico roof in Arlington Heights, IL. In this case, our metal roofing crews also fabricated the standing seam roof panels along with the custom metal ridge and metal hip pieces. To make sure that rain and snow properly drain from this metal roof, our crews fabricated and installed all needed metal perimeter flashings. To complement the durability of a metal roof, our sheet metal crews also installed new copper gutters and downspouts, which make the portico metal roof in Arlington Heights look much more sophisticated. With specially coated metal sheets from Pac-Clad, this standing seam metal roof will look just as impressive in 50 years.
