Standing Seam Roof – Mist Green (Priddis, Alberta)
This project was completed in Priddis, a quiet wooded area just outside Calgary where the weather can shift fast and snow load is a real factor every winter. For this home, we installed a standing seam metal roof in Mist Green, a soft natural colour that blends beautifully with the trees and surrounding landscape.
The roof has a complex layout with multiple connected sections, valleys and transitions. All panels were custom-formed on site and installed with a true concealed-fastener system — no exposed screws anywhere. This type of roofing performs exceptionally well in southern Alberta:
-
sheds snow easily
-
eliminates leak risks from exposed fasteners
-
stands up to strong winds and temperature swings
-
requires almost no maintenance for decades
The result is a clean, durable roof that fits the property perfectly and gives the home long-term protection against Alberta’s tough weather.

Standing Seam Panels
Standing seam panels are designed with two primary seaming options to meet different needs: single lock and double lock systems. The single lock option is best suited for residential roofs with standard slopes and facades, providing reliable performance in typical applications. For low-slope roofs, the double lock system offers enhanced seam strength and a watertight seal that excels in Alberta’s tough climate. This design ensures added protection against water infiltration, making it particularly effective in withstanding snow, wind, and fluctuating temperatures.
Each panel’s seams are mechanically locked using specialized tools. This technique creates an exceptionally strong bond that provides outstanding resistance to wind uplift with excellent weatherproofing, which is especially crucial in Alberta’s extreme conditions. Usually, the height of the locks ranges from 1 to 2.5 inches, while the panel widths are to be specified for each particular project. Panel design accounts for natural expansion and contraction without warping or loosening over time. Because metal roofing focuses on long-term value, it offers the ideal blend of durability, efficiency, and refined aesthetics desired by most homeowners.
