Standing Seam Metal Roof and Vinyl Siding with Insulation on Trailer House

The owner of this mobile home wanted to have the siding and roof replaced. Upon inspecting it, we discovered rot on the sheeting due to improper flashing installation, which required us to replace all damaged plywood and install rigid insulation for improved energy efficiency.

We also noticed water stains and condensation buildup when removing the old metal roof. To eliminate the issue, a layer of strapping was added above existing trusses with new plywood as a solid deck for an upgraded standing seam roof with concealed fasteners that provided better cross ventilation. Insect-proof screening was installed along both sides of its drip edge. New continuous 5″ eavestroughs were installed for proper water drainage.

Overall, the homestead is now fully functional and energy-efficient — an aesthetic upgrade that should remain durable for many years ahead!

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.
