16 oz / 20 oz Copper Snap Lock Roofing Panels
There is probably no roofing technology that offers a similar compromise between durability, airtightness, aesthetics and ease of installation as Snap Lock. Standing seam roofing panels from North Shore Sheet Metals are designed to take just a dozen hours to cover a roof on a residential or commercial building, and the results can be enjoyed for years to come.
Thanks to Snap Lock, our metal roofing panels can be installed even by inexperienced roofers who wouldn’t be able to handle installing slate tiles or cedar shakes, without affecting quality – the joints are perfectly protected against rusting or bending sideways, and the high standing seam ensures that even if the lock is damaged on some part of the roof, runoff rainwater won’t immediately creep in and start damaging the sheathing.
By choosing standing seam snap lock copper roofing panels, you provide your customer with above-average durability and aesthetics, for which you don’t have to take too much money. Thanks to their simplicity, roofing sheets from North Shore Sheet Metals are perfect for anywhere you don’t have time to take care of the smallest details – we’ve taken care of them for you.
0.022″/0.027″ Standing Seam Snap Lock Panels – Beauty is in the Simplicity
The engineering team at North Shore Sheet Metals is not in the business of creating technology that no one has ever seen. Instead, we strive to refine already known and proven solutions to perfection. As a result, our flashings, metal roofing panels, gutters and fascia panels impress with their quality, while being reliable and favorably priced.
Using the highest quality 16 and 20 gauge copper sheets, our standing seam roofing panels stand out for their above-average quality and durability. The 0.022” and 0.027″ thick copper sheet are completely rust-resistant and provide up to 200 years of trouble-free use. With proper maintenance, copper roofs will last longer than rest of the house.
Using snap lock technology, standing seam copper roofing panels provide a delightful seal in the areas that are most prone to leakage.By crimping the fasteners and being able to add adhesive, snap lock roofing copper panels create a barrier that water cannot penetrate.
How to Use Standing Seam Snap Lock Copper Roofing Panels?
Installing standing seam snap lock panels is very easy, although it does require a bit of precision and the right tools for maximum durability.
We recommend using the snap lock roofing system for roofs with a pitch of 3/12 or more. Sheet joints using male and female connectors are very tight and durable, but theoretically speaking, standing water can get through, flooding the sheathing and underlayment. If the roof is adequately steep, this problem does not occur.
In addition, we recommend that you use a slightly thicker sheathing to install this model of roofing panels.The optimal thickness of it is 5/8“, not 1/2”.This makes the entire roof much more rigid, keeping all the joints, which are sensitive to bending, as tight as possible.
Snap lock copper panels, like any sheet metal roofing material, are sometimes noisy. However, noise emissions will be much lower if you use a modern synthetic underlayment with increased thickness, which better absorbs vibrations. An additional advantage of such a solution is better thermal insulation, so lower bills for heating and air conditioning of the house.
All of our roofing panels are made from the highest quality materials, which guarantees trouble-free operation for many years. Copper, unlike steel and aluminum, is completely resistant to corrosion – admittedly, it gets covered with a blue-green oxidation layer, but this does not affect its strength. This makes copper snap lock roofing panels incredibly even durable, and under optimal conditions, their service life can last up to 200 years.No other material, not even natural slate or premium-grade terracotta tiles, offers such exalted performance.
