Low Slope Metal Roof Panels

Tite loc and tite loc plus panels are factory formed to length and field seamed to a 90 lock tite loc or a 180 lock tite loc plus.

Low slope metal roof panels.

Most structural metal panel roof systems are designed to resist the passage of water at laps and other joints as sealant or anti capillary designs can be used in the seams. Low slope roofs are not totally flat their roof slope generally ranges from 1 4 12 to 3 12. Typically large footprint single story warehouses and pre engineered metal buildings will utilize low slope metal roof systems. The panels have been designed for application over a wide variety of substrates on roof slopes as low as 1 2 12 pitch.

Low slope metal roofs require less material which reduces the overall load on the building s structure. It is important to note structural metal panel roof systems can be used for steep slope roof assemblies too. And because of their interlocking or active fastening systems metal roof panels are designed to meet the requirements of astm e1592 ul 580 ul1897 and other severe wind and uplift tests. In country with heavy snow and tough winter days the metal roof minimum slope is recommended to be 1 12.

Concrete clay roof tiles. Structural metal panel roof systems can be used for low slope roofs because of their hydrostatic or water barrier characteristics. Low slope metal roofing materials include perimeter edge flashing soffit panels drainage and es 1 rated edge systems from sheet metal supply. Available in 12 16 and 18 widths tite loc and tite loc plus panels can be produced in 22 and 24 gauge steel or 032 and 040 aluminum.

Minimum metal roof slope depends on the roof profile building design climate and site location.
