Architectural freedom
The R-MER LOC standing seam system provides the perfect solution for a wide range of applications. From functional buildings for the commercial industry, modern residential projects to truly unique architectural designs, R-MER LOC enables designers to turn their vision into reality.
Sliding Clip feature
R-MER LOC benefits from a sliding clip feature, removing the time-consuming requirement for installers to layout individual clips for precise measurements and alignment. The sliding clip feature does it all for you, speeding up the overall installation process, efficiently.
Unique zip-free installation
R-MER LOC seams feature a unique zip-free design, eliminating the need to mechanically crimp the seams of each panel. This innovation leads to rapid installation whilst allowing for expansion and contraction of the roof system without creasing or buckling of the panels.
Rigid Insulation
Rigid insulation is a great way to increase the thermal performance of your building and to ensure thermal regulations are met. Rigid insulation provides an excellent thermal performance to thickness ratio and avoids large build-up heights when compared with rolled insulation.
Another benefit of rigid insulation over rolled insulation, rigid insulation allows for R-MER LOC clips to be directly mounted through the board into the deck below and also fully supports the system, essential for lightweight 0.7mm R-MER LOC profiles.
System components
Directional Clips
Directional clips are an integral part of every R-MER System. They hold each sheet together while securely fastening the metal profile to the substructure. This allows for thermal expansion amongst the sheets, which prevents oil canning.
Suspended Profiles
The suspended profiles provide support and rigidity to the detailed areas of the system. They can be installed at the hips, verges, and ridges to provide support and fixing points for the flashings and hold the profiled fillers in place.
R-MER LOC Profile
Available in 333, 400, 500 and 600mm widths, the profile sheets can be used in many architectural applications thanks to the customisable tapered and curved shapes that can be created. Available in up to 13m lengths or even roll-formed on site.
Frequently Asked Questions
For those unfamiliar with standing seam metal roofing systems, we have answered the most common questions below.
If you still have any questions please contact your Garland Technical Manager.
Standing seam metal roofing uses concealed clips to join the panels together, removing the need for mechanical fixings through the waterproofing layer and eliminating moisture ingress through the penetration.
Standing seam roofs can be installed on a wide range of roof decks including existing metal systems (encapsulation) timber decks or on z-profiles and purlins. Standing seam systems can be installed as warm roof or cold roof applications.
We offer an industry-leading Single-Point Guarantee of up to 30 years on R-MER LOC standing seam systems to the system the roof could last for as many as 50 years.
R-MER LOC Standing Seam panels can be installed vertically or on roofs with a minimum pitch of 1 degree but can vary depending on several factors.
Fully supported R-MER LOC standing seam systems can be safely walked upon during and after installation.
A steel roof will typically be composed of either one of two types of steel: stainless or galvanised both of which are powder coated to protect against rusting. Aluminium R-MER LOC systems do not rust. The natural layer of aluminium oxide protects the aluminium from contact with the air.
Standing seam roofs do not rely on exposed screw fixing and instead utilise clips installed directly to the substructure onto which panels are slotted in. This results in a penetration-free external waterproofing system removing the opportunity for water ingress.
