There are typically two types of standing seam products

---

Snap lock panels are easily installed on existing or new roofs. They start at the eave and run vertically up to the ridge. The “snap lock” comes from the way they overlap each other. One panel overlaps the other and is pushed down into place until it “snaps” together providing a water-tight seal. The benefits of snap lock are that they provide an easy install with more basic tools. They are perfect for contractors and do-it-yourselfers.

 Mechanical seam (Standing Seam) is a profile that has been used for many years and is regarded as the premier metal roofing system. The Mechanical seam system provides the cleanest and most desirable look with NO exposed screws or connections. Mechanical seam can be installed on a minimum pitch and low sloping roofs providing a superior watertight seal. Each overlapping seam is folded over the adjacent panel with a hand seamer or small roller, locking the panels in place permanently. This install is more labor intense and requires more specialized tools and is usually done by professionals. Some homeowners with the right skill will take on their own install, therefore we will loan out the specialty tools needed with a deposit.
