Standing seam metal roofing – Priddis, Foothills County
This standing seam metal roofing project in Priddis, Foothills County was completed for a custom home designed to blend modern architecture with Alberta’s natural landscape. The roof features clean lines, complex transitions, and a matte black finish that complements both the surrounding forest and the home’s contemporary exterior.
Given the exposed rural setting and changing Foothills weather conditions, durability and detailing were critical. We installed a premium standing seam system with concealed fasteners, custom flashings, and carefully engineered transitions to ensure proper drainage, wind resistance, and long-term protection. Every seam, penetration, and edge was completed to best-practice standards.
This project reflects our approach to high-end residential metal roofing in Alberta: thoughtful planning, precision installation, and materials built to last decades. The result is a roof that not only looks sharp but performs reliably year-round—handling snow loads, wind, and temperature swings common to the Priddis area.

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.
