Double Lock Standing Seam Roof

The VMZ Double lock standing seam system used on roofing applications enables long strips of VMZINC to be assembled by forming single or double folds on the up-stands.
A traditional technique applied to roofs. This technique can be machine or hand produced. It reflects the individual architect’s concerns for lines and shadows, producing designs that have a historical perspective.
The low height of the seams 1-inch and 1 1/2-inch contributes to the lightness and regularity of the roofing in its architectural function, particularly when used on more complex shapes, giving them a distinctive “high-tech” appearance.
Due to the use of profiling and seaming machines for closing the longitudinal standing seam joints, the installation time is greatly reduced, making this a cost-effective solution, particularly for very large roof surfaces.
This technique utilizes less metal in comparison with the batten (roll cap) method.
