16 oz / 20 oz Copper Mechanical Lock Roofing Panels

Mechanical lock 16 oz / 20 oz copper roofing panels are the perfect solution for roofing contractors and homeowners who want uncompromising durability and tight joints, regardless of building size, roof curvature or architectural style.

Thanks to the attention to every detail, even the smallest, copper roofing panels are perfect for residential and commercial projects. The use of a three-step assembly scheme allows for the rapid installation of successive components with a slot crimping speed of up to 120 linear feet per minute. Thanks to top-of-the-line tools, we have also been able to significantly increase the degree of precision – dimensional tolerances in some cases are less than 0.01”.

With the right adhesive, 0.022”/0,027″ copper mechanical seam roofing panels can delight the user for up to 60 years of trouble-free service. Although the more complicated installation system requires greater skill and specialized tools, it will repay with above-average durability and less susceptibility to bending over time.

When you choose mechanically seamed copper roofing panels, you get the perfect compromise between high quality workmanship, above-average durability, a wide range of available designs and colors, and price. You don’t have to worry about the details – the engineers at North Shore Sheet Metals have already taken care of them and done it better than anyone else could.

0.022″ / 0.027″ Copper Standing Seam Mechanical Lock Panels – the Perfect Choice for Roofing Professionals

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 or 20 gauge copper sheets, our standing seam roofing panels stand out for their above-average quality and durability. The 0.022” or even 0.027″ thick copper provides even 200 years of completely trouble-free service and protects both sheathing and underlayment well. Perforation of copper roof is probably impossible, as it’s not a corroding metal.

The Mechanical Lock system requires more skill, but repays the favor with noticeably greater durability and reduced risk of leaks. By performing the installation service carefully, you will provide your customer with a barrier that water will not cross, even after many years.

 

How to Use Standing Seam Mechanical Lock Copper Roofing Panels?

Installing standing seam Mechanical Lock roofing panels might be challenging for unexperienced roofers. However, if you have the right knowledge and tools, this is the type of panels that will allow you to work effectively and efficiently.

We recommend using the mechanical 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. The thickness of the roof truss is particularly important for copper roofs, since the sheets used for their installation are incredibly malleable and also very heavy.

Mechanical 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 mechanical 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.
