What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing Seam metal roofing is a premium mechanical seam system that uses specialized UL-rated clips to secure panels to the roof deck. This clip system allows for superior thermal expansion and contraction, making it ideal for very long roofs with infinite panel length capability.
Our Standing Seam panels feature a 2-inch rib height that provides excellent ice and water control on low slopes, starting from a 1:12 pitch. The mechanical seam design with UL-rated clips ensures superior wind resistance and long-term performance in Western Canada's challenging climate.
Available in 22, 24, and 26 gauge options with over 90 stunning colors, Standing Seam panels can be rolled on-site for custom lengths or prepared for pickup at our Alberta facility. The clip system makes this the preferred choice for commercial, industrial, and high-end residential projects across Western Canada.
Why Choose Standing Seam's UL-Rated Clip System
UL-Rated Clip Performance
Our Standing Seam system uses UL-rated clips that have been tested and certified for wind resistance and structural performance. These clips provide superior attachment while allowing for necessary thermal movement.
Infinite Length Capability
The clip system allows panels to expand and contract freely, enabling infinite panel lengths. This is perfect for very long roofs where minimal seams are critical for weather protection and aesthetics.
Superior Low Slope Performance
The 2-inch rib height provides better ice and water control on low slopes, allowing installation on roofs as low as 1:12 pitch. This makes Standing Seam suitable for challenging roof configurations.
Thermal Movement Control
Clips allow panels to move naturally with temperature changes without stressing the fasteners or creating leaks. This is essential for very long roofs where thermal movement can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Standing Seam compare to Snaplock?
Standing Seam uses a UL-rated clip system that allows for infinite panel lengths and superior thermal movement on long roofs. The 2-inch rib provides better water control on low slopes starting at 1:12 pitch, while Snaplock requires 3:12 minimum pitch.
What's the minimum roof pitch for Standing Seam?
Standing Seam panels can be installed on roofs as low as 1:12 pitch (5 degrees) due to the 2-inch rib height. This makes them ideal for low slope applications where other systems may not be suitable.
Are the clips UL-rated?
Yes, our Standing Seam system uses UL-rated clips that have been tested and certified for wind resistance and structural performance. UL specifications are available for all clip components used in the system.
How long can Standing Seam panels be?
Standing Seam panels can be infinitely long thanks to the UL-rated clip system that allows for thermal expansion and contraction. This is perfect for very long commercial roofs or any application where minimal seams are desired.
Can Standing Seam handle Western Canada's climate?
Absolutely. Standing Seam with UL-rated clips is engineered for extreme weather conditions, including high winds (150 mph rating), heavy snow loads, and temperature extremes. The clip system prevents thermal stress and ice damming issues.
