Snap Lock Panel | Sunset Metal Forming
Revolutionary snap-together panels with integrated nail strip design - no clips required. Available in 90+ colors with on-site rolling service across Western Canada.
What is Snaplock Metal Roofing?
Snaplock metal roofing is an innovative panel system designed for easy, clip-free installation. Each panel features a unique snap-together design with one side functioning as a nail strip, eliminating the need for additional clips or complex fastening systems.
Our standard Snaplock panels come in 26 gauge steel, providing the perfect balance of durability and affordability. For projects requiring enhanced strength or specific structural requirements, we also manufacture panels in 24 gauge and heavy-duty 22 gauge options. This flexibility ensures your Snaplock roofing system meets both your performance needs and budget requirements.
Available in over 90 stunning colors, Snaplock panels can be rolled on-site for custom lengths or prepared for convenient pickup at our Alberta facility. This versatility makes Snaplock the ideal choice for residential, commercial, and architectural projects across Western Canada.
Installation Benefits
No Clips Required
Traditional standing seam systems require expensive clips and complex fastening. Snaplock's integrated nail strip design eliminates this step entirely. Simply snap panels together and secure through the nail strip - it's that simple.
Faster Installation
The snap-together design significantly reduces installation time compared to conventional metal roofing systems. Contractors can cover more area in less time, reducing labor costs and project timelines.
Forgiving System
Snaplock's design is forgiving for installers. The snap mechanism ensures proper alignment and connection, reducing the chance of installation errors that can compromise roof performance.

Snaplock offers similar weather protection and aesthetics as traditional standing seam but installs faster and more cost-effectively. The integrated nail strip eliminates the need for clips, reducing both material costs and installation time.
What's the minimum roof pitch for Snaplock?
Snaplock panels require a minimum 3:12 pitch (14 degrees) for proper water shedding. This makes them suitable for most residential and commercial applications across Western Canada.

No special tools are required. Standard roofing tools and fasteners work perfectly with Snaplock's nail strip design. The snap-together mechanism requires no additional equipment or specialized training.
How long do Snaplock panels last?
With proper installation and maintenance, Snaplock panels can last 40-70 years depending on gauge and environmental conditions. Our premium finishes come with comprehensive warranties for added peace of mind.
Can Snaplock handle Alberta's extreme weather?
Absolutely. Snaplock panels are engineered for Western Canadian weather conditions, including high winds (110 mph rating), hail, snow loads, and temperature extremes. The concealed fastener design prevents ice damming and wind uplift.
