Standing Seam Concealed Fastener Panels

Types of Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panel Systems

There are 3 types of standing seam metal roofing panels and all of them are a concealed fastener system. This means that the fasteners on each metal panel are not visible or exposed to the weather. Concealed fastener panels are more weather-tight and expensive when compared to exposed fastener panels.

Mechanically Seamed – The panel edges are connected together with a roof seamer.
Snap Lock Panels With Concealed Fasteners And Clips – The clips attach to the panel and fasten directly onto the roof deck.
Nail Strip or Nail Flange – A standing seam panel that does not use clips.

MS2® Mechanically Seamed

This is the most weather-tight style of standing seam metal roofing. It’s ideal for very low sloped roofs with a pitch as low as .5″ to 1″:12″. It’s a difficult panel to install and is rarely installed by DIY roofers.

Western Seam® One Inch and One and a Half Inch Nail Strip Standing Seam Roof Panels

Western Seam® Nail Strip

Nail strip roofing panels are a snap lock system that uses screws and does not have clips. The male flange has one inch slots that are spaced 6 inches apart and fastened directly to the roof deck.

You sacrifice a lot of performance when you eliminate the clips. It’s slightly less expensive and a little easier to install, but it’s inferior to MS2® or Western Lock®

1″ or 1.5″ Seam Height
