Abstract

Standing seam roofs are increasingly being used for industrial and commercial buildings in preference to profiled metal sheet where concealed fixings and low roof pitches are required for visual reasons. This is because standing seam roofing is both economic and has crisp, uninterrupted joint lines that allow it to be made a visible part of the building design, often with as much architectural presence as the facade beneath. The main advantage of standing seam roofs over profiled metal roofs is that almost no fixings pass through from outside to inside the construction. This gives the roof surface a visually crisp appearance with very few visible fixings. The standing seams allow the technique to be used on very low pitch roofs.
