TOPIC: Product Selection

Curved roof application

Return to Product Selection

Return to Forum

I have a curved, standing seam roof (installed in 1996) that needs to be replaced. The point at which the bottom of the curve meets the coping cap was designed poorly, causing ponding and leaks. Additionally, several severe hail storms this season have taken their toll. In addition to correcting these issues, I need to select the best product for this application. I believe the best option will be to go back on with a layer of ice and water shield (high temp) and then either a standing seam or some kind of interlocking product. Then the challenge, of course, is to select the right manufacturer. I'm am interested in what this group's thoughts are for this application. I've attached a photo to assist. Thank you!

To me it comes down what you want it to look like. Just about anything can be made to work there and despite the fact that it is curved, the open field simplicity of it is a benefit. Eric Novotny

Thanks Todd and Eric. I'm looking at Pac-Clad and Berridge, which both have snap on and mechanically seemed products. Lots of variety in those groups (e.g. high seam, double-lock fold, integral). Since the roof slope flattens out at the top, I thought there might be a concern about an ice dam allowing water to build up and seep into a lower or single seem type product. Granted, we don't see much snow in Dallas, Texas, but we do see ice and sleet, which can build up at times. Appreciate your thoughts.

Should have pretty good drainage to it, but I think you will probably have more panel flexibility (as it pertains to shape forming) in a mechanical style lock. That is just a guess as I have never done any curved panels in large square footage, but it makes sense to me that would be the case. Eric Novotny
