A flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof commonly used in commercial or residential properties. Since metal panels can be weathertight and have concealed fasteners, it makes them the ideal roofing material for low-pitched roofs.

ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO
A flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof that is common on commercial or modern residential structures (like warehouses, apartment buildings, schools, and new modern homes). A flat roof is incredibly versatile and has lower construction and repair costs when compared to other roofing slopes and materials.
As you might expect, the design of a flat roof makes it difficult for snow, rain, and ice slide off the roof. Because this is a common issue, the roof design and material must be carefully planned for each building individually in order for it to function properly. This requires a keen eye and an experienced team of roofing contractors, which Metal Roofing St. Catharines in Ontario provides!
Metal looks great on flat roofs with a low pitch. Because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff, low slope roofs are more prone to water damage. Water can penetrate the roof if it remains on the roof surface for an extended period of time, resulting in leaks and costly repairs. Since metal panels can be weathertight, it makes them the ideal roofing material for low-pitched roofs.

Our customers in St. Catharines-Niagara are always looking for roofing solutions for their property. When it comes to residential flat roofing, a flat roof can be used for more than just the roof of a house. For a shed, dormers, or overhanging structures such as porches, garages, or even balconies, a flat roof may be the best option.
It should be noted that not every metal roofing panel is appropriate for use on a flat roof. Standing seam metal panels are the best option for this project. Because of its concealed fastening system, standing seam metal roofing is completely watertight and can withstand standing water. Furthermore, by using hidden fasteners, any screw penetrations on the surface where water could potentially seep through are eliminated.
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.
Although snap lock is a very secure roofing system, it lacks the extra seaming that mechanically seamed systems have. As a result, in milder climates with less snow and rain, snap lock performs better. Snap lock, on the other hand, is easier to install because it requires fewer steps and labour.
Mechanically locked standing seam profiles are classified into two types: single lock (90-degree seam) and double lock (180-degree seam). Both panels can be locked together mechanically or manually. Regardless of the method, the edges are bent and the two panels are joined with 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.
