Snap Lock
Roofing Panel System

Standing seam panel features a Triple-Lok design that has been proven to outperform all roof systems in testing for wind uplift resistance. The Snap Lock incorporates a “hooked in” standing seam with a double-folded design to resist seam failure between supports, inhibit sidelap unfurling or unzipping, and add structural integrity to the roof system. Installed with expansion clips, Snap Lock accommodates for expansion and contraction of the roof system. The adjacent panel conceals the fasteners and clips. A power-driven mechanical seamer is used to interlock the panels at the site. Snap Lock has the flat pan/vertical rib profile preferred by architects for superior performance with traditional appearance. Because of its strength, watertightness and aesthetics, Snap Lock meets the new stringent building codes and specifications and is suitable for a wide range of climatic conditions. The extra-high locked standing seam adds structural integrity to the roof system.

Installed with an expansion clip, the 1½” Snap Lock™ panel is a non-structural single-locked or double-locked roof panel. 1½” Snap Lock is mechanically seamed in the field and provides the traditional appearance of standing seam. Plank ribs are standard. It may also be curved with or without plank ribs.

What Is Snap Lock?

Snap Lock is a type of standing seam metal roof panel that has a male and female leg that snap together. Clips are used to attach the panel to the roof deck. They fasten underneath the panel and out of view to keep the clean look of a standing seam roof.

Advantages Of Snap Lock Metal Roofing

This roofing system consists of panels that simply snap together. By eliminating mechanical seams, the installation process is much faster and simpler.

If you like tackling home improvement projects, an easier installation might make it tempting to want to install Snap Lock yourself (which some people do). However, we recommend having your roofing installed by a licensed professional. Our company does not perform installations, but we do know this is the best way to ensure that a roof is done safely and correctly.

Less Labor Costs

The big advantage to you is that an easier installation equals a more affordable installation. You will save on labor costs with Snap Lock as it’s a less labor-intensive installation. Fewer hours are required to complete the job, which decreases the overall job cost.

The cost savings are not only a result of less labor, but also because less tools are required. 

A More Affordable Standing Seam Panel

Standing seam is not the right roof for someone on a small budget. It will cost you about twice as much as an asphalt shingle roof or a corrugated metal roof. However, Snap Lock is the more affordable panel within the standing seam roofing category.
