Standing Seam Case Studies
Proven performance across Alberta's most demanding commercial, industrial, and residential applications with architectural excellence.
Commercial Office Complex - Edmonton
Challenge:
The project required a high-performance roofing solution for a multi-story office complex with complex geometry and strict architectural requirements. The building needed superior weather resistance and long-term durability with minimal maintenance.
Solution:
We provided structural standing seam panels in 16" width with a premium Kynar 500® finish. The concealed clip system accommodated thermal movement while maintaining architectural aesthetics. Custom panel lengths eliminated cross-seams on major roof areas.
Results:
- Achieved 150 mph wind rating certification
- Zero weather penetration in first year
- LEED points awarded for sustainable materials
- Client extremely satisfied with aesthetic results
“The SunSet team delivered exceptional quality on a complex project. The standing seam system has performed flawlessly through Alberta's challenging weather, and the building looks fantastic.”
Key Features:
Industrial Manufacturing Facility - Fort Saskatchewan
Challenge:
A petrochemical facility required roofing that could withstand aggressive industrial environment conditions, extreme temperature cycling, and potential chemical exposure while meeting strict fire safety requirements.
Solution:
Heavy-duty 22-gauge standing seam panels with enhanced corrosion-resistant coating were installed. The clip system was designed for extreme thermal movement, and all accessories were rated for industrial chemical exposure.
Results:
- Passed rigorous industrial environment testing
- No corrosion after 12 months in chemical environment
- Exceeded fire safety rating requirements
- Installation completed on accelerated schedule
“This roofing system has exceeded our expectations in one of the most challenging industrial environments. The engineering support from SunSet was outstanding throughout the project.”
Key Features:
Architectural Residence - Canmore
Challenge:
A luxury mountain residence required roofing that would complement the modern architectural design while providing superior performance in alpine weather conditions including heavy snow loads and extreme temperature swings.
Solution:
Narrow 12" standing seam panels created clean architectural lines. The system included integrated snow retention and enhanced clip spacing for high snow loads typical of the Canadian Rockies location.
Results:
- Architectural design goals achieved perfectly
- Superior performance through heavy snow season
- Enhanced home value and curb appeal
- Zero maintenance required in first year
“The standing seam roof is the crown jewel of our home. It looks incredible and we have complete confidence in its performance through mountain weather extremes.”
