839 Maidstone Dr NE, Calgary – Standing Seam Metal Roof Project
Our Renoteck crew installed a clean standing seam metal roof in Polar White on this low-slope home in NE Calgary. The new roof gives the house a fresh, modern look and brightens up the whole property, especially from the street and the backyard deck.
Standing seam is a great fit for this style of roof – continuous panels, high seams, and hidden fasteners help shed water and snow properly and protect against leaks. The light Polar White finish also reflects the summer sun, helping keep the home cooler while still standing up to our Calgary wind, snow, and hail.
It’s a simple, sharp-looking upgrade that gives the homeowners long-term peace of mind and a roof that’s built to handle Alberta 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.
