Maxroof’s standing seam roofing system
Today technology is changing the way roofing projects are executed while delivering improved systems design, increased productivity and safety, and reduced construction waste. Considering the ever increasing demand of standing seam roofing system, Maxroof has launched three standing seam roofing profiles – MxSeam, MxLok and MxZiP. These profiles offer outstanding design potential, performance and durability, claims Sanjeev Rai, Managing Director, Maxroof Corporation Pvt Ltd.

While installing these profiles, sheets are never punctured with screws which make it practically leak proof – no holes means no leaks. Further, the seam allows the roof to ‘breathe’ so that any moisture occurring within the roofs evaporates away and entire configuration of roof remains in good conditions throughout its life.

All about standing seam metal roof
Standing seam metal roofs get their name from the way that they are built. They are constructed of metal panels that run from your ridge down to the edge of the roof. At the edge of each panel is a tall seam that connects to the next panel anywhere from half-inch to one-and-half-inches above the roof so it appears the seam is ‘standing’ which gives this system its characteristic, trendy, modern look. They can be made of steel or aluminium. According to Rai, galvalume standing seam roof is the most preferred choice of many architects because of its longer life and cost efficiency.

Standing seam metal roofs can come in a wide variety of different colours, which can complement contemporary to rustic style homes. The benefit of this is that light colours can be used on the roof that can reflect some of the light from the sun, and prevent superheating of the attic.

One distinctive design feature of standing seam is that there are no exposed screws or fasteners, which could become potential sources of leaks.

Manufacturing process
Standing seam panels can either be pre-formed at a manufacturing facility or a sheet metal shop, or site-formed. Site-formed panels are formed from a roll of metal coil, which is fed through special roll-forming machine which crimps the metal into rigid panels. Forming standing seam panels right on the job site offers the advantage of speed, convenience, and makes it possible to form panels of considerable length that would otherwise be difficult to transport.

Standing seam roofs are gaining quick popularity when architects consider their low maintenance, durability, good looks, longevity, and solar heating protection. “Key to a long-lasting metal roof is the quality of its installation, therefore make sure you choose really know how to install standing seam and have plenty of past jobs to demonstrate their experience and expertise,” says Rai.
