Snap Lock Mechanically Seamed Nail Strip/ Nail Flange
Snap Lock Roofing With Clips The snap lock standing seam roof system consists of panels with a male and female leg that snap together. These panels are fastened to the roof with clips, and the fasteners are concealed.
Snap lock standing seam is the most common type of standing seam roofing. Its popularity comes from being regarded as the best all-around standing seam solution when you consider the performance of the panel, cost, and easier installation than some of the other standing seam panels.
Mechanically Seamed Metal Roofing Mechanically seamed panels are designed with clips that line up with one another to be locked together by a mechanical or hand seamer.
Mechanically Fastened Metal Roofing: Single Lock Vs. Double Lock Mechanically seamed panels can either use a single lock system or a double lock system when they are seamed together.
A single lock refers to the seams of the panel being folded once (90 degrees) and a double lock is when the seams of the panel are folded twice (180 degrees). Double lock systems are more commonly used. They are more secure and have an overall better performance over a single lock system.
Nail Strip Standing Seam Roofing Nail strip, also known as nail flange or fastener flange, is the snap lock standing seam roof system with the simplest installation process. The male flange has one-inch slots that are spaced 6 inches apart and fastened directly to the roof deck, eliminating the need for clips. Once the panel is fastened, the female leg of the panel snaps over, hiding the fasteners.
Nail strip panels are used most often for residential standing seam roofing jobs because they’re the least expensive standing seam system. However, this panel has the worst performance of the three types of standing seam panels.
