Mechanical Seams vs. Snap Lock
Bradford Standing Seam manufactures and installs only mechanically locked seamed panels. This style of roof, also called structural standing seam, offers superior wind uplift resistance and is Dade County approved for hurricane zones.
Snap Lock seams are just as they sound. They consist of two panels of metal that use the flexability of the metal to snap together at the joint without further crimping. This is not Dade County approved and is not suitable for high wind areas.
We offer a complete Standing Seam selection in 16" and 20" wide pans.
24 ga. Galvalume: Made from steel, this lightweight, durable product offers a 35 year non-prorated protection as a PermaColor 3500 Kynar painted surface or 25 year protection as an unpainted "Mill Finish".
.032 or .040 Aluminum: Used primarily along the Shoreline, this product has the same PermaColor 3500 Kynar finish as our steel and the same 35 year warantee.
16 oz. Copper, bare or zinc coated: Primarily used for accent roofs we either roll form to our standard 1 1/2" 1300 style seam or hand break in our shop for the more delicate 1" high single lock. There are multiple examples of 100 year plus installations.
28 ga Zinc Coated Stainless Steel: The ultimate in roofing protection. Samples under laboratory test conditions have yet to show any degradation to salt spray and have been given an unlimited lifetime.
