 Our low slope folded techniques benefit roofs with a 3/12 pitch and under. Mechanical standing seam was practiced 1000's of years ago in copper sheets and hand formed (hammered, martelage ) together, we own machines to fabricate on-site and close and create seams with power tools, allowing us a more aesthetically pleasing look to the simplest and oldest metal roofing panel profile that has tested against time and recognized around the world. A higher than 3/12 pitch is required for snap-lock standing seam metal roofing systems, which will hold more water at the eaves and snap lock doesn't allow for a locked, kirigami , fastenerless, eave detail to assist with ice damming and capillary action with the built up snow in the gutter wanting to crawl back up the roof, meaning you could possibly keep your old wood structure when you replace your metal roof in 100 years as opposed to have to replace the bottom row of wood decking. Mechanical standing seam also works best with S-5 clamps that are used to hold down the snow bar retention system and solar panel systems, because the non perforating screws on the S-5 clamps attaches to both panels and folds the panel into a locking groove, similar to a button lock punch.
