Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Standing Seam Metal Roofs



Metal Roofing Profiles US-200Profiles US-200 Standing Seam Panel The Ultra Seam standing seam system utilizes state of the art technology for roof integrity and positive weather-tightness. The Ultra Seam US-200 panel has been extensively tested in both steel and aluminum, and meets the stringent requirements of the “Standard Test Method for Structural Performance of SSMRS by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference,” which has been adopted as ASTM E-1592. Seams require machine closing, by either hand or power seamers, both available on a job rental basis. The seaming process completely encloses and seals all clips and fasteners for the most watertight seal available. The US-200 panel, in addition to the standard 90-degree seam, can be double-locked to obtain a 180 degree architectural profile. The standing seam system is especially suitable where roof slopes are long and/or low, and unusually long panels are required. Available in various gauges of galvanized steel, galvalume, zincalume, aluminum, copper, zinc and stainless steel. Regardless of which material is selected, the optional stiffening ribs or striations are highly recommended in order to reduce the slight surface waviness of the metal known as “oil-canning.” Note: “oil-canning” is a natural phenomenon inherent in sheet metal products and therefore is not cause for rejection of the material.http://www.ultraseam.com
