Standing seam metal roofing has been used successfully in the United States for centuries, and proper specification is key to realizing its intended performance. Examined here are: the factors driving the demand for standing seam metal roof and wall systems; standing seam panel basics; gauge and grade; oil canning; specification considerations; testing standards; and forming, delivery, storage, handling and warranty.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Explain how standing seam cool roofs reduce surface temperatures and air temperatures inside buildings, improving human health and comfort by preventing heat-related illnesses and deaths.
  • Discuss how standing seam cool roofs lower energy consumption and decrease the production of associated air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Identify key testing standards used to assess standing seam metal roof performance related to wind uplift, air exfiltration, water infiltration, and fire resistance.
  • Use knowledge of metal gauge and grade, coatings, corrosion and galvanic reaction, and material forming, delivery, storage, and handling, as well as warranties to specify a durable, long-lasting, energy-efficient standing seam metal roofing system.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
