For a durable, long-lasting metal roof that will boost curb appeal, choose standing seam metal roofing from IroSteel. Made right here in Manitoba, our standing seam roofs have what it takes to stand strong, even in the harshest weather Winnipeg can throw at them.
What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing is a seamless roofing system with hidden fasteners. Each section of a standing seam roof features vertical legs on the sides of a broad, flat panel. The legs are the sections where the standing seam panels are joined together through mechanical crimping; they stand above the rest of the roof, which is where standing seam metal roofing gets its name!
Each standing seam roofing panel has both a male and female leg; these legs are mechanically joined through crimping in order to merge sections together. These mechanically seamed panels are watertight and airtight, providing excellent insulation and durability.

Contact UsBenefits Of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing has a number of advantages; our standing seam systems are long-lasting, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Our standing seam metal roofing can last 50 years or longer. Here’s why:
Concealed Fastener System
Don’t want your neighbours to be looking at nuts and bolts when they catch a glimpse of your roof? Concealed fasteners are the solution, and they’re great for more than just curb appeal. Unlike exposed fastener systems, concealed fasteners aren’t exposed to the elements, so moisture, wind, and debris will wear out your fasteners less quickly. In short, concealed fasteners look better and last longer!
Mechanically-Seamed Metal Panels
Mechanically-seamed systems offer a tighter, more consistent seam, making them an excellent choice for low-slope roofs. The technique used to mechanically seam panels together adds rigidity and makes your roof more watertight, so it’s tougher against wind, rain, and other hazardous weather.
Excellent Expansion and Contraction Ability
Using expansion clips, our standing seam panels can expand and contract as the weather changes without creating internal stress in the roof. This is essential in Manitoba, where our hot summers and cold winters can lead to dramatic expansion and contraction.
High-Quality Metal
All of our standing seam metal roofing panels are built right here in Manitoba using North American Galvalume steel. Galvalume provides incredible corrosion resistance, and our panels are available in 26 and 24-gauge; they stand up to harsh weather, strong winds, debris, and just about anything else you can throw at them.
The incredible durability, weather resistance, and customizability of our standing seam metal roofing systems make them the perfect choice for homeowners or business owners in Manitoba.
Standing Seam Applications
You can use a standing seam roof for almost any building; most homeowners and business owners choose standing seam roofing because they value the high levels of durability and the customizable look of this style of roof.
With so many different standing seam roofing panels available from our shop, you might not know which one to choose. We can help. Here are two applications for different styles of panels:
Application |
Seam Height |
Panel Width |
Gauge |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2:12 pitch or less residential roof |
1.5" | 16” (or 18” for more budget-friendly projects) | 26/24 |
| 2:12 pitch or less commercial roof |
2" | 18” (or 16” in very wind-prone or storm-prone areas) | 24/26 |
To give you a better understanding of which panels might be right for you, let’s look at each feature individually:
Seam height is mostly influenced by the slope of your roof. Low-slope roofs should opt for higher seams because it gives water more time to drain before it reaches the peak of the seam. Lower seam heights are more aesthetically pleasing in some contexts.
Panel width is influenced by the size of a roof. Smaller panel widths are better for smaller roofs because they provide more strength and they’re less prone to oil canning, which can influence the aesthetics of your roof. For larger roofs, 18” panels are typically preferred because they cover a greater area for less money.
Gauge tells you how thick the metal panels are; lower numbers mean thicker metal. For projects where durability is of the utmost importance, lower gauge metals are better; larger, lower-slope roofs tend to need higher gauge metal because they’ll have to handle heavier loads of snow.
Why Standing Seam Is Ideal For Winnipeg’s Climate
Standing seam metal roofing is perfect for Winnipeg. In our climate, standing seam roof panels provide exceptional durability. Here’s why:
- Standing seam roofs are excellent at enduring thermal movement. The expansion clips we use prevent internal stresses from developing as panels expand and contract in our extremely seasonal climate.
- They stand up to snow, rain, sun, and more. Our seams are mechanically crimped, so even the winds at Portage and Main won’t drive sleet and snow between panels. Each panel is made right here in Manitoba out of corrosion-resistant, North American Galvalume steel.
- Our standing seam metal roof panels last for decades. Metal roofing is designed to last for decades; your new standing seam roof may be the last roof you ever need.
