Roof Panels: Exposed Fastener vs. Standing Seam

As you look around our site, you will see that we carry a full line of metal building roof panels, wall panels, trim and accessories. A majority of our products are variations of each other. They maybe a different profile, yet they are installed virtually the same way. However, when you get to roof systems, the similarities stop there.

MBP carries two vastly different types of roof panels. We carry:
  • Exposed Fastener Roof Panels
  • Concealed Fastener Roof Panels
    • Meridian (Commercial & Residential)
    • Master Lok / Trapazoidal (Commercial)
    • Maxima / Batten Lok (Commercial)
    • Medallion / Snap Batten (Commercial) 

What is an Exposed Fastener Roof Panel?

Exposed fastener roof panels are those panels which are lapped over each other and fastened to the structure using self-drilling fasteners that penetrate through the field of the panel into the structure below.














Benefits
  1. Economical
  2. Can be installed over open structure or solid substrate
  3. Easy installation
  4. Quickly remove and replace damaged panel

What is a Standing Seam Roof Panel?

There are a variety of standing seam metal roof systems. However, all of them can be described as metal panels with a raised seam that are typically fastened down to the roof deck using hidden clips and fasteners.












Benefits
  1. Depending on the profile, SSR can be installed over open structure or solid substrate
  2. Reduce potential weather infultration
  3. No exposed fasteners
  4. Clips allow panels to move during expansion and contraction of metal

    I'm not sure if there is any stark difference with the fasteners used by aerospace hardware to those used in ordinary roofings. It kind of looks the same based on that video.
