Dutch Seam® is a continuous standing seam metal roof panel with an integral seam. With the lock and seam an integral part of the panel, there are no seam caps to install. This prevents "blow-off" or "creeping" of the cap or seam. Mechanical field seaming of the panel is not required. Just snap the panel onto the previously installed panel, fasten the clip and the panel is in place. Dutch Seam® is a structural metal roof panel and can be fastened directly to purlins or solid substrate. A flat roof can be converted to the correct slope with the simple addition of a lightweight truss system.
