Swisspan - Advance Roofing System

Swisspan double lock standing seam system provides a lightweight, sustainable and very durable roofing solution and is commonly used on many different building types including educational, healthcare, sports, commercial, religious and, of course, housing. The system is suitable for roofs pitched between 3º and 90º, barrel vaulted roofs, conical and domed roofs, and in general almost any type of roof that can be clad This is a proven traditional system that has been used to install zinc, copper, aluminum or any kind of coated architectural panels. The fine lines of the standing seams give the system it’s light, attractive appearance and contribute to its flexibility.

Modern profiling and seaming technology makes quick work of large roofs, decreasing installation times and the associated direct and indirect costs. It can be installed over a ventilated or non-ventilated roof construction, allowing the best solution to be chosen according to the characteristics of each project. The fixing is hidden and indirect. It needs a continuous support behind it and normally uses sheet thicknesses of between 0.65 to 1.2mm. The covering withstands a certain amount of foot.

The longitudinal joint is a 25mm high double lock standing seam. The double lock welt of the seam is raised above the water drainage part of the tray. The standing seam is formed by profiling or folding strips and sheets into trays. An undercloak is formed along one edge (this is the edge that is fixed with clips) and an over cloak along the other. To make the joint, the latter is welted around the under cloak of the adjoining tray, covering the clips. The two trays are then seamed up using seaming irons or seaming machines
