\n\tThe double standing seam system provides a rain-tight roof and facade covering where the pitch is in excess of 3°, preferably 7°. (see fig. 1).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe double standing seam system makes it possible for a roof or facade to be covered with NedZink Zinc-Titanium quickly and at reasonable cost. This is because preformed metal bays are used, and the seams are folded mechanically, reducing manual folding to a minimum.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe preformed bays are supplied in standard sizes. The bays are secured to the substructure in question by means of fixed and sliding clips (see fig. 3).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fixed clips secure the bays, and the sliding clips permit longitudinal movement. Please consult the section headed ‘Assembly’ for information on the required position of these clips.

\n\tThe double standing seam system roof.<\/p>\n
\n\tThere are two ways of assembling the double standing seam system:<\/p>\n
\n\tBoth systems may be used for double standing seam roof. The choice of which system to use depends on the type of roof and the metal workers equipment.
\n\tSystem 1 is preferable on large area roofs, and system 2 for smaller areas where there are a number of penetrations, attachments etc.
\n\tSystem 1 is made up of standardised pre-profiled bays as shown in fig. 4
\n\tSystem 2 is made up of standardised bays with straight side upstands of 35 and 45 mm, as shown in fig. 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tA single welt pliers, eaves edger and eaves welter are required in addition to normal zinc working tools.<\/p>\n
\n\tA double standing seam system roof must be fully supported by a substructure. We recommend timber of unplaned boards (not tongue-and-grooved) 20 – 25 mm thick. The boards are assembled about 5 mm apart, except when the pitch exceeds 40°, in which case they may be 100 mm apart (see figs. 7a and 7b).
\n\t <\/p>\n\n\tAssembly<\/h3>\n
\n\tThe marking work should be commenced in the centre of the roof area, bay widths being marked to the left and right of this point. A projecting piece is always needed for the verge flashing, so the roof edge can be made. As far as possible, standing seams should not be interrupted for roof penetration structures: this ensures that the optimum benefit is obtained from mechanical folding.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe bays expand and contract with temperature. This means that the bay length should not exceed 10 m. If the length exceeds 10 m a transverse joint is needed to allow for thermal movement: the actual type depends on the pitch of the roof (see fig. 8). At this joint, part of the profile is removed, to prevent the welt becoming too thick (see fig. 9).<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.nedzink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/cms\/userfiles\/images\/tz7abb09_english.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n\tThe bays are laid from left to right or right to left, as indicated on the substructure. Before the first bay is laid, however, the eaves abutment should be fitted. An example of this is illustrated in figs. 10a and 10b. The first bay has to serve as a verge flashing, it generally does not retain its full width.
\n\tOnce the bay has been hooked into place, the fixed and sliding clips are attached. The siting at which the fixed clips are attached depends on the pitch of the roof (see fig. 11).

\n\tOnce the first bay has been laid and the clips have been attached, the next bay is laid alongside it without the use of lateral force with sufficient overhang at the eaves. However if more than one strip is needed between the eaves and the ridge, the whole length form eaves to ridge is laid first, and then a cross welt is produced (see fig. 8). The second bay is laid when this has been completed, beginning at the eaves again.
\n\tWhen this bay is in the correct position, the fixed and sliding clips must be attached, as already described. The normal procedure is for the whole roof to be covered with bays first.
\n\tTo prevent the bays being blown off the roof, the welt is closed with single welt pliers once every metre, at the same point as a clip.<\/p>\n
\n\tThan on the standing seam the folding machine works, turned either up or down. A rope is attached to the motor of the machine for safety reasons.
\n\tThe eaves abutment is produced by the bottom edge of the bay being cut and folded.
\n\tA straight chalk line is marked out on the bottom edge of the bay to enable a straight eaves border to be produced. The bay can then be cut as illustrated in fig. 10b.
\n\tThe eaves edger is used to produce the first fold along the chalk line: this is then closed with the eaves welter.
\n\tA different form of eaves finish is shown in fig. 10c: the standing seam is turned down at the eaves.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe ridge abutment is made by turning down the standing seam with the open welt underneath. Fig. 13 shows details of ridge abutment on an insulated roof with a ventilated cavity. If there is not much room available, the ridge abutment is produced by means of a crimped seam as shown in fig. 14. In this, the pre-profiled side upstand profile is bent back on site to form a straight upstand.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.nedzink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/cms\/userfiles\/images\/tz7abb13_english.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
\n\tThe verge flashing profile is formed by turning up the projecting part of the first and last zinc-titanium bays against a verge roll. These bays can be cut to the correct width and the side upstands formed against the roll either on the roof or beforehand. The upstand is at least 55 mm high. The construction is shown in fig. 15. The verge roll can be covered with any kind of profile. Both this capping and the bay upstand are secured with at least three clips per metre, see also fig. 12.
\n\t <\/p>\n
\n\tOne example of a wall abutment is given in fig. 16. A gap must be allowed for ventilation.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe methods used for ridge abutment, verge flashing attachment and eaves abutment are used here. The zinc-titanium should not be fitted too close to the roof penetration. It must be able to expand and contract freely. Fig. 17 shows an example of a chimney penetrating on a roof.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe two roof surfaces are separated by a hip roll. The double standing seam bays are attached to this roll in the same way as for the ridge abutment: see fig. 13, but splayed. Capping is fitted over the wooden hip roll. The upstand against this hip roll must be no less than 55 mm at right angles to the edge of the hip roll. Fig. 18 shows the structure in zinc-titanium.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe valley is the angle between two pitched roofs. The bottom end of the bay is cut splayed, and bent over as shown in the eaves abutment fig. 10b. This bend hooks into the additional clip which is soldered in lengths of e.g. 1 m onto the valley gutter. The valley gutter is secured onto the underlying timber by means of clips (see fig. 19). The distance ‘a’ depends on the pitch dgr. and may be calculated as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n
