MECHANICAL SEAMING OF SS ROOFS

Return to Installation

Return to Forum

Is there a maximum roof pitch for using a mechanical seaming machine on a standing seam roof? Our roof pitch is 5:12. I think I read somewhere that this pitch was too steep for the mechanical seaming machine. Thank you.

I recommend nothing more than 3/12. anything greater makes it difficult for the installer. Dick Bus
