What is standing seam roof sheet ?
Standing seam roofing is a type of metal roofing, where metal roof panels / sheets are positioned vertically along with roof length.

Standing seam is concealed clip assembly is roll formed or crimped into the panel seam without any drilling in the sheet. These clips perform two functions – they secure the panels to the structural system, reducing the need for structural fasteners, and they enable the roof to expand and contract as the outside temperature changes.
