# Standing Seam

Concealed-fastener standing seam — the cleanest, most weather-tight metal roofing system available. Modern lines, lifetime durability, zero exposed screws.

Overview

## Why homeowners choose IronWrap for standing seam

Standing seam is the gold standard of residential and commercial metal roofing. Vertical interlocking seams rise above the panel surface, creating a fully weather-tight seal with no fasteners exposed to the elements — which means nothing to back out, rust, or leak in 30 years.

The clean modern lines work equally well on contemporary architecture and traditional homes that want an upgrade from asphalt without going overly rustic. Available in dozens of finishes from matte black and crystal black to copper penny, iron ore, and patina copper.

Our standing seam systems use concealed fasteners with floating clips that allow the panel to expand and contract through Alberta's full temperature range without stressing the seams. Combined with heat-reflective underlayment and custom-fabricated flashings, it's a roof you'll install once and forget about.

## Standing Seam FAQs

Quick answers to what homeowners ask before they sign on for standing seam.

See all FAQs
What's the difference between snap-lock and mechanical-lock standing seam?+

Snap-lock panels click together by hand; mechanical-lock panels are crimped together with a tool for a tighter seal. Snap-lock is sufficient for most residential roofs over 3:12 pitch; mechanical-lock is recommended for low-slope, high-wind, or commercial applications.

Will it expand and contract noticeably?+

Yes — and our floating-clip system is designed to allow it. Across a 30-foot panel run, you'll see ~1" of movement between summer and winter. The clips let the panel slide; the seams stay sealed.

Can standing seam be installed over my existing asphalt roof?+

Sometimes — it depends on the deck condition and local code. We typically recommend full tear-off so we can inspect and properly install underlayment. Skipping that step trades cost savings today for ice-damming and ventilation problems later.

What's the most popular colour?+

Matte black and matte charcoal lead by a wide margin, especially on contemporary and modern-farmhouse homes. Copper Penny and Iron Ore are popular for warmer architectural styles.
