What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing panels are attached with concealed fasteners. Originally, clips engaged with the vertical legs and were used to attach the panel to the roofing substructure. As panel options have grown, however, it is common to see clipless panels included in this product family.
These systems are typically used on lower sloped roofs, often down to ¼:12. They are considered Hydrostatic, which means they can keep buildings watertight even when they are submerged underwater for brief periods of time. These products can be used in either open framing or solid deck applications.
These systems are commonly used on slopes of 3:12 or greater. They are considered Hydrokinetic which means that they can keep buildings water tight while water is flowing over them as opposed to the Structural systems which can accomodate water submersion. Some panel styles in this family have load carrying capability, others do not.
Snapped panel systems consist of a male and female leg. Once the legs are properly engaged, pressure is applied and the panels snap together to complete the installation sequence.
Mechanically seamed systems require the use of a powered seaming machine after panel installation to ensure proper performance.
Clipless standing systems are fastened through a pre-punched fastening flange. These flanges typically have repeating slots every 2-4” to facilitate attachment to the roofing deck, most often plywood.
Clipped systems consist of a clip that is integrated into the male/female panel legs and is then attached to the deck or purlins.
Trapezoidal panels are the most cost-effective standing seam panel style; however, due to the large trapezoidal shape, they aren’t widely used in high visibility architectural applications or those involving valley conditions.
As the name implies, vertical leg panels have a vertical leg at the connection of the male/female leg. This family of panels can be snapped or mechanically seamed.
T style panels combine the look and functionality of a vertical leg but have a separate batten cap that is then mechanically seamed in place. These panels allow for the easy removal and replacement of a panel in the field of the roof.
Both vertical legs on symmetrical panels are the same. This feature allows for individual panel replaceability after installation and solves a long-standing industry challenge. Additionally, these panels allow contractors to start at any (or multiple) points on the roof providing greater flexibility during installation.
The legs for non-symmetrical panels are different. This feature requires non-symmetrical panels to be installed progressively, typically left to right. Consequently, non-symmetrical systems can require the removal of unaffected panels during building repairs or modifications.

Advantages of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Concealed Fasteners
Standing seam systems attach to the substructure with concealed fasteners. Since there are no exposed screws with washers than can shrink or crack over time, they are considered a more weather-tight system than exposed fastener systems.
Expansion/Contraction Ability
Standing seam systems allow expansion and contraction through either a clip or slotted flange. Conversely, exposed fastener systems are pinned which can result in the fastener hole elongating over time and allowing water penetration. Check this out to learn more.
Aesthetics
Standing seam panels typically offer a distinct vertical leg. This tall vertical leg can offer a nice shadow effect and the illusion of a flat pan in between the major ribs which many architects and building owners prefer.
Extensive Testing
In order to meet stringent building codes and life safety issues, standing seam panels are subjected to more testing than exposed fastened type systems. Standard tests include uplift, air and water, impact, and fire resistance.
