Standing Seam Roof Systems

Vertical Leg Structural Standing Seam Roof Systems
The LokSeam®, BattenLok® HS, SuperLok®, and Curved BattenLok® standing seam roof systems blend the aesthetics of an architectural panel with the strength of a structural panel. These panels have earned several uplift ratings assuring the reliability of performance. The designer is afforded a flexible tool to meet any design challenge.

Architectural/Structural Panels
LokSeam® is a snap-together system that was designed for transitions from roof to fascia for a continuous, uninterrupted appearance. A die-formed rib cover is available for use with his detail. BattenLok® HS is a field seamed system that is also capable of transitioning from roof to fascia. Die-formed rib covers are also available for this project. SuperLok® is a field seamed panel that combines a slim rib with exceptional uplift resistance. This panel has been designed to withstand the most rigorous conditions. Each of these systems feature factory installed hot-melt mastic to insure weathertight seams. Curved BattenLok®, available in 16", may be curved to a minimum radius of 20' and being a structural panel, may be installed over open framing or solid decking. Striations are standard for added aesthetic value.

Concealed Fastening System
A choice of concealed fastening clips is available for each panel system including UL rated clips. These clips hold the panels firmly in place without unsightly exposed fasteners. Each slip system offers the ability to accommodate thermal movement.

Uplift Ratings
Each system carries the Underwriters Laboratories Fire Resistance and Wind Uplift (UL 90) ratings covering a wide range of roof designs. In addition, the SuperLok® system meets a variety of ratings as tested under Factory Mutual Research Corporation Standard 4471. The BattenLok® HS, SuperLok®, and Curved BattenLok® systems have met all test requirements specified in CEGS 07416/ASTM E1592 Standing Seam Metal Roof System guide specification.

Application
Each of these systems is designed to be installed over open framing. However, the MBCI LiteFrame®, 5/8" plywood or a composite roof assembly may be used as alternate substructures. LokSeam® must be installed on roof slopes of 3:12 of greater. BattenLok® HS and SuperLok® must be installed on roof slopes of /2:12 or greater.


Trapezoidal Structural Standing Seam Roof Systems
The snap-together system, Ultra-Dek®, and field seamed system, Double-Lok®, were engineered from concept to installation for strength, durability, and weatherability. The standing seams are a full three inches above the lowest part of the panel, well above the water level as it flows off the roof. The seams have factory-applied mastic to insure a secure, weathertight seam.

Beings and Ends in a High
The rake/gable at both ends of each roof system finish with a 3" high standing seam, avoiding the necessity of finishing in the low, flat part of a panel where the greatest possibilities for leaks occur in most other systems.

Concealed Fastening System
The standard offering for the Ultra-Dek® and Double-Lok® systems is a floating clip that cannot be installed unless the tab is centered in the clip base. This feature provides for maximum efficiency of the clip and panel.

Special conditions may require the use of the unique Articulating Clip, which is designed to eliminate binding and friction in a misaligned substrate application.

A 4" sliding clip is available for the Double-Lok® system with eliminates roof steps on a double slope building up to 990' wide or a single slope building up to 495' wide. These clips are available in a high and low version for use with different thicknesses of vinyl-backed fiberglass insulation.

Uplift Ratings
Both systems carry Underwriters Laboratories Fire Resistance and Wind Uplift (UL 90) ratings covering a wide range of roof designs. In addition, the Double-Lok® system meetings Class 1-60, 1-90, and 1-105 ratings as tested under Factory Mutual Research Corporation Standard 4471. The Double-Lok® system has met all test requirements specified in CEGS 07416/AStM E1592 Standing Seam Metal Roof System guide specification.

Application
Panels can be installed before or after the exterior walls are in place and all trim is attached after the roof is installed. With a recommended minimum slope of 1.2:12, these roof systems can be used on all types of construction - masonry, metal or wood - for either new construction or retrofit.
