Standing seam metal roof project – Cochrane, Rocky View County
This standing seam metal roof project was completed in Cochrane, Rocky View County, using a premium black metal finish. The roof design includes multiple roof planes, transitions, and skylight detailing, requiring precise layout and clean seam alignment throughout the entire structure.
Standing seam was chosen for its durability, clean architectural look, and long-term performance in Alberta’s demanding climate. The hidden fastener system allows the roof to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes, helping prevent leaks and extending the life of the roof. All penetrations, skylights, and transitions were fully custom-flashed on site to ensure long-term watertight performance.
Projects like this highlight why standing seam is a preferred solution for custom homes in the Cochrane and Rocky View County area. When installed correctly, it provides exceptional weather resistance, low maintenance, and a modern finish that adds real value to the property. This installation was completed using premium materials and best-practice detailing, built specifically for Alberta conditions.

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.
