I was wondering if anyone knew when standing seam was invented. Where it was first used? When it was first used? Any info on the history of standing seam would be helpful.	Guest User 10/3/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/6809/find/
There are references to metal roofs in Biblical times ... they may have had some sort of flat seam though. Certainly, there are many raised seam roofs here in the US dating to the 1800s. Modern standing seams were developed more in the 1960s.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 10/6/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/6810/find/
What widths of standing seam roofing were available in the late 1800's? Could you get such roofing at 12 inches wide?	Guest User 7/29/2006	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/6811/find/
That's an interesting question. Why do you ask? I am not sure I know the answer but I believe it is "yes" ... at that time, it was hand-formed out of the available metal so the limitation would have been how wide metal could be rolled.
