Standing seam systems have concealed fasteners and usually have allowance for expansion and contraction of the metal. This contrasts with a through-fastened panel like PBR. Todd Miller

I live in a large townhouse complex that has many barrel topped units, approximately 14-16 feet wide. The roofs are currently covered in what looks like a metalized material layed lengthwise versus crossing the barrel. Two questions: Would you recommend standing seam at all, and if so layed lengthwise, with seams parallel running the length of the roof, or across the barrel arch. Tha later would require a cosistent variable flex across each panel, thwile the former would only have to flex across its section. Do you have a recommendation of a particular brand and should we be consulting a commercial versus residential vendor/contractor? That's more than two questions, but thanks for any help you can provide. Thom Ennen 1326 4th Street SW Washington DC 20024 407-474-8211

Standing seam would need to go across the arch which means you need a curved panel. MRA member manufacturers you may wish to contact include ATAS International and Fabral. Todd Miller
