BARRIE, ONTARIO
A flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof commonly used in commercial or residential properties. You can often find them on warehouses, apartment buildings, schools and new modern homes. A flat roof is extremely versatile and has lower construction and repair costs compared to other roofing slopes and materials.
As you can imagine, the design of a flat roof makes it easy for snow, rain and ice to accumulate on the surface. Since this is a common problem, the roof design and material must be carefully planned for each building individually so that it functions properly. This requires a keen eye and an experienced team of roofing contractors, which is all provided at Conley's Metal Roofing in Barrie, ON!
Metal works fantastic on flat roofs that have a low pitch. Low slope roofs are more prone to water damage because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff. If water remains on the roof surface for an extended period of time, it can penetrate the roof, resulting in leaks and costly repairs. Since metal panels can be weathertight, it makes them the ideal roofing material for low-pitched roofs.

Our Barrie customers are always looking for roofing solutions for their property. When it comes to residential flat roofing, a flat roof can be utilized in more ways than just a home’s roof. A flat roof may be the best option for a shed, dormers, or overhanging structures such as porches, garages, or even balconies.
It’s important to note that not every metal roofing panel works well for a flat roof. The best metal panels for the job is standing seam. Because of its concealed fastening system, standing seam metal roofing is completely watertight and can withstand standing water. Also, by using hidden fasteners, it eliminates any screw penetrations on the surface where water could potentially seep through.
With a snap lock standing seam profile, the metal panels are secured together by snapping together on one side. When the panels are longer than 40 feet, we use float clips, which allow the roof metal to expand and contract.
Snap lock is a very secure roofing system, but it isn’t as watertight as mechanically seamed because it doesn't have the extra seaming. As a result, snap lock will perform better in milder climates where heavy snowfall or rain is not as common. However, since snap lock requires fewer steps and labour, it is easier to install.
There are two types of mechanically locked standing seam profiles; single lock (90-degree seam) and double lock (180-degree seam). Both panels can be locked together mechanically or manually. Whichever way it’s done, the edges are bent and the two panels are fastened together using a hidden clipping mechanism.
Because of the way the panels are fastened together, mechanically locked is the most weather resistant standing seam roof and is less likely to leak. This is an important factor when dealing with a flat roofing system because there will be standing water.
