Modern elegance for reliable protection and a unique look in the construction and repair of roofs from LATIVA.

Standing seam roofs are one of the preferred choices for quality finishing of residential and public buildings, thanks to their incredible technical advantages, beautiful appearance, and almost unlimited execution possibilities. They not only successfully protect the building from all weather influences but are also suitable for both new constructions and the renovation of old buildings. In standing seam roofs, the metal sheets are joined in a special way, creating the so-called seam – a durable and waterproof connection. By choosing LATIVA, you receive expert advice and a range of products that will meet every specific requirement related to your roof.

Key features of our standing seam roofs

Excellent durability and longevity

The folded roofs have a high degree of resistance to all atmospheric influences. They easily withstand rain, snow, wind, and corrosive processes. The materials we use – copper, aluminum, galvanized steel, and innovative zinc-titanium alloys – guarantee a long service life without the need for serious maintenance or repairs.

Innovative thermal and sound insulation

The standing seam roofs of LATIVA are designed to ensure a low level of noise during rain or hail, especially when the installation is combined with high-quality solutions for thermal insulation. The thermal characteristics of metals can be compensated for with effective solutions, such as special sound-absorbing membranes or stone or mineral wool.

Magnificent aesthetics and adaptability to any architecture

The standing seam roofs offered by LATIVA fit perfectly with all shapes of roofing structures – from classic clean designs to complex roof designs with specific radii or interruptions. Our portfolio includes various solutions such as the easy-to-install systems Click Panel and the extremely secure products from the Double Seam line.

Main advantages of choosing standing seam roofs from LATIVA

• Minimal maintenance: Cleaning and servicing are easy, and durability is exceptional.
• Functionality and flexibility: Ability to install both simpler and more complex structures.
• High waterproofing protection: The innovative design of the joint provides a waterproof connection.
• Selection of materials: Sheets made of copper, aluminum, steel, and zinc-titanium alloys allow for maximum variability during installation.

Types of metals for standing seam roofs – characteristics and applications

Zinc-coated steel standing seam roofs

They are lightweight, durable, and budget-oriented. They are ideal for more mass applications, such as production buildings and storage facilities. They are also available with a polymer coating in a variety of colors, such as the range of products from Bilka. Despite their more limited lifespan (up to 30 years), these roofing solutions are perfect for industrial and commercial needs.

Aluminum and zinc-titanium standing seam roofs

They are ultra-light and durable, with a lifespan of over 75 years. They are preferred for their high quality and corrosion resistance, representing an excellent balance between quality and price.

Copper standing seam roofs – premium choice

These roofs stand out with an aesthetically superior appearance, incredible durability, and unique longevity over time. Copper allows for the processing of complex architectural structures and details with a large radius. Such a roof can reliably serve for over a hundred years.

Pros and cons of choosing standing seam roofs – what is important to know?

The roof not only protects your home but also plays a key aesthetic role in the building's vision. Choosing the right type of roof is particularly important when considering standing seam roofs, which combine an elegant appearance with reliable protection. Standing seam roofs are the best choice for unconventional architectural projects. They handle complex architectural shapes exceptionally well, as well as roofing structures that include radii and intricate angles. Among the many advantages that standing seam roofs have over other materials, we can highlight the following:

• Absolute waterproofing – the folding technique for joining metal sheets ensures maximum protection against leaks;
• Without visible fastening elements – this gives the roof a unique appearance and higher protection;
• Resistant to extreme weather conditions – rain, hail, and strong wind;
• Unmatched durability – a well-installed standing seam roof can be used for over 100 years;
• Minimal maintenance needs over time.

Regardless of this, standing seam roofs also have a few disadvantages that you should be aware of when making your choice:

• The high thermal conductivity of the metal, which requires additional thermal insulation;
• Significant noise during heavy rain and hail if quality thermal and sound insulation such as mineral or stone wool, or a special membrane is not used.

"Given the listed features, by using the right technologies and quality materials for insulation and installation, these shortcomings can be easily overcome."

Folded roofs with click system or classic fold – which option is best for you?

When choosing a standing seam roof, you can opt for two options – the click system or the classic double seam. Both are qualitatively represented in the subcategories Click Panel and Double Seam from LATIVA. The click system is a factory-made system that allows for easy and quick on-site installation. It is particularly suitable for straight and simple roof structures. If your roof structure does not have any special radii or specific features, this type of standing seam roofs is a suitable choice due to the convenience of installation and savings in labor and time. An example of a product distinguished by an easy click system is the "retro panel" series from Bilka. The classic seam (double seam) is a seam made during installation using special machines and tools. Its creation requires a serious technical level and good knowledge of the process from the craftsmen. In the case of curved and architecturally complex roof shapes, the classic standing seam roof is a very suitable and preferred option.

Features of installing standing seam roofs – what do the professionals from LATIVA recommend?

For the stability and longevity of roofs, it is important that the installation is carried out by professional installers in strict accordance with the advice presented on the page "Installation Instructions". Standing seam roofs can be installed on counter battens, battens, OSB boards, or wooden paneling with a minimum slope of at least 8 degrees. These conditions ensure maximum efficiency and longevity of the roof.
