STANDING SEAM: NOT JUST FOR ROOFS

Standing seam profiles make for an excellent wall siding product. For years, standing seam profiles have been the product of choice for stunning durable metal roofs. These products are chosen widely for their combination of continuous, uninterrupted lines and superior weather-tightness. Unlike other products, the fasteners of standing seam products are concealed, enabling dramatic clean shadows and accent lines, and superior long term performance. These panels are also highly versatile – panel rib spacing, the gap between raised seams, can be varied, enabling greater design freedom.
However this popular roof product also makes for an exceptional wall siding product. The unique ridges of the seams can help break up and add texture to large flat surfaces, Standing seam profiles can also add vibrant color to
a surface, and with the right paint system, won’t fade over time. As these products are manufactured in 12”-24” panel configurations, they can be used to create complex wall shapes and color patterns.
