FAQ's

What is on-site roll forming?

On-site roll forming is where we bring a portable roll forming machine to your building site to manufacture the metal roofing panels for the structure.

How do you fabricate the standing seam panels?

A steel coil is fed through a machine and feeds through a series of rollers until it has gained the desired shape.  We can make panels to longer lengths than you can get from a factory. This means fewer seams and fewer seams mean a more resilient roof. Once made, they are ready to use and can go directly up onto the roof.

What is the minimum roof pitch on which a metal roof may be installed?

For standing-seam metal roof panel systems, a 1-12 minimum roof slope is recommended.
