Standingseam Roof Profile

What is a standing seam roof system?
Standing seam systems involve the ‘zipping up’ of a rolled side lap over supporting halters.

Standingseam Roof System - Over purlin construction
The sheet side laps are closed using a Mechanical Seaming Tool to rollform the ‘Fixed Seam Overlap Radius’, creating attachment to the halter but still allowing free movement under thermal expansion.

The Standing Seam outer sheet can be produced in various metals and finishes, Aluminium is the most cost effective.

There are no external penetrations of the outer sheet required and no end laps required as sheet lengths are not restricted due to site production of the profile.

Because of the metal on metal zipped up sidelap detail, the outer sheet effectively breathes, therefore making the system also suitable for refurbishment and removing the need for a breather membrane
or building paper.

The most commonly used construction is the over - purlin twin skin liner construction.

The metal liner provides good aesthetic quality, is versatile and cost effective and can be used as a vapour control. Systems using a Structural Deck are also common, where purlins are eliminated from the construction.The finished roof system is low maintenance.

Euroseam systems have been designed to be used over a wide range of construction types. Systems have been developed to give cost effective solutions to the requirements of Building Regulations Part L and Part E. Euroclad's Technical Department assess such diverse requirements, using state of the art software to provide systems that meet your project criteria.

NBS draft specifications are provided for standard constructions and can be tailored to suit project performance requirements through consultation. This service can utilise our experience and the flexibility of built-up systems, which can respond individually to your requirements for specific thermal, acoustic, structural and other performance considerations.
