How to Use Standing Seam Mechanical Lock Steel 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.

Mechanical lock steel 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. Thanks to the resin-based Kynar500 coating, standing seam snap lock panels will last up to 50 years, although typically, they are replaced along with the roof, so after 25-40 years. Kynar500 provides phenomenal resistance to wind, rain, ice, hail and rust, which justifies its slightly higher price. Add to that, this coating offers tremendous customization possibilities – the standard offer includes 26 colors, so you’re sure to find a shade that meets your customer’s requirements.
