standing seam or proloc

I am considering replacing a tar and gravel low slope roof with a metal roof. One contractor has quoted proloc and the other has said he could quote it but it not recommended for the pitch of my home 1:12 can anyone tell me which is better or who is right Thanks		Guest User 6/14/2016	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/21277/find/
I am not familiar with a product spelled as "proloc". I would suggest contacting the manufacturer and inquiring about the minimum required roof pitch. No product should ever be used at a lower pitch than recommended by its manufacturer. Generally speaking a 1:12 pitch roof, in metal, will require a mechanically seamed standing seam system. I suspect that proloc is not that but instead is a snap lock system.		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/15/2016	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/21278/find/
Thank you - it is a snap type system and you have made my decision much easier		Guest User 6/16/2016	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/21279/find/
Thanks. Snap lock systems are not to be used on that low of a pitch.		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/16/2016	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/21280/find/
+1 Snap lock is invariably going to leak on that pitch of a roof.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 6/17/2016	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/21281/find/
