Sheet Metal

One does not typically associate roofing with art; however, the use of metal in roofing can have very creative qualities.

Copper, zinc and stainless steel can be used to dramatic effect, as demonstrated at the HH Richardson Olmsted Complex and Our Lady of Victory National Shrine & Basilica. Metal can make an ordinary building stand out dramatically while providing durability that lasts several decades.

Old meets new in our full-service sheet metal shop. Our state-of-the-art computerized brake and shear equipment sits alongside a hand beading machine and stake bench. We have the capacity to create miles of standard aluminum or steel flashings, as well as the artisan workmanship to craft custom gutters, steeples, weather vanes, sconces and other specialized creations.

Sheet Metal Roofing

50 Years of Protection Against the Elements

A durable, low-maintenance option, metal roofing systems help provide superior resistance against extreme weather conditions. Typically lasting up to 50 years, metal roofs are highly reliable and becoming increasingly more popular in the industry.

Proper installation is critical to the longevity of your metal roof. Grove Roofing’s highly qualified installers pay close attention to the detailed installation of flashings and selection of the proper underlayment.

STANDING SEAM

The most common sheet metal roofing option
12–24” wide vertical panels run from eave to ridge
Adjacent panels are locked together in a variety of seam types
They typically snap lock or use a mechanical seamer
Materials:
- Painted steel and aluminum are the most common
- Copper, zinc, and stainless steel are also good options

BATTEN SEAM

Originally made from vertical leg panels inserted between wood batten strips and capped
Now they are often made entirely of metal
Designed to shed water, they’re largely used in architectural applications
Available in aluminum, copper, zinc and stainless steel

FLAT-LOCK SEAM

Typically used on flat or low-pitch roofs
Also used for curved surfaces, such as domes and barrel vaults
Individual panels are interlocked together and joints are typically soldered
Copper is the most common material

PROTECT THE PERIMETER WITH METAL FLASHINGS

The perimeter is typically the most vulnerable part of a roof system. Metal flashings are critical in acting as a rain and wind shield, providing the necessary rigidity to terminate the roof membrane, and facilitating water leaving or aggregate staying on the roof.

Metal flashings also shield exposed joints in underlying membrane flashings while adding durability and redundancy at penetrations for venting or drainage.
