Im enjoying your video series. But, i have a question... Why not open the hem on the concealed fastener trim and slot it over the z trim?

Is this true about continuous cleat system? ### Advantages of Continuous Cleat System and Its Superiority **1. Accommodates Thermal Expansion and Contraction:** - **Uniform Movement:** Allows metal panels to expand and contract uniformly with temperature changes, reducing stress on the panels and preventing issues like warping or buckling. - **Prevents Damage:** Minimizes the risk of damage to the roofing system caused by thermal movement, enhancing durability and longevity. **2. Reduces Oil Canning:** - **Stress Distribution:** Provides a consistent attachment point, distributing stress evenly across the panels and reducing the likelihood of visible waviness or distortion (oil canning). - **Aesthetic Quality:** Maintains a flatter, more visually appealing roof surface. **3. Enhances Wind Resistance:** - **Secure Attachment:** Offers a more secure and continuous attachment along the eave, improving the roof’s ability to withstand strong winds by distributing wind forces more evenly. - **Prevents Uplift:** Reduces the risk of panel uplift or detachment during high winds. **4. Manages Snow Loads Better:** - **Even Support:** Provides even support across the panels, helping to manage the weight of accumulated snow and reducing the likelihood of panel deformation or failure. - **Increases Safety:** Enhances the roof’s structural integrity, making it safer in regions with heavy snowfall. **5. Prevents Leaks:** - **Consistent Sealing:** Ensures a more consistent and reliable sealing of the roof, reducing the chances of leaks that can occur with panel deformation or fastener failure. - **Long-Term Performance:** Improves long-term weather resistance, maintaining the integrity of the roof over time. **6. Aesthetic and Structural Benefits:** - **Clean Lines:** Provides a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic by eliminating visible attachment points and maintaining the integrity of the roof’s design. - **Structural Integrity:** Enhances the overall structural integrity of the roof by providing continuous support and reducing localized stress points. **7. Superior to Fold-Over Systems:** - **Flexibility:** Unlike fold-over systems that create rigid attachment points, the continuous cleat system offers flexibility, allowing the roof to move naturally with thermal changes. - **Durability:** The continuous cleat system’s ability to accommodate movement without compromising the integrity of the panels makes it more durable and resilient. **8. Long-Term Cost Efficiency:** - **Reduced Maintenance:** By preventing common issues like oil canning, panel warping, and leaks, the continuous cleat system can reduce the need for maintenance and repairs over the roof’s lifespan. - **Increased Lifespan:** Enhances the overall lifespan of the roofing system, providing better value for investment despite the higher initial cost. ### Conclusion The continuous cleat system is superior due to its ability to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, reduce oil canning, enhance wind resistance, manage snow loads, prevent leaks, and improve both aesthetic and structural integrity. While it may be more complex and costly to install, its long-term benefits and superior performance make it a worthwhile investment for durable and reliable metal roofing.

This is considered a continuous cleat system? No roofers seem to be familiar with this technique, rather hem over dripedge. Is this a rare install?

How to keep the ridge cap and hip cap edge from scratching the roof panel?

By using exposed screws is it truly a standing seam installation?

Очень доступные объяснения. Благодарю..

Can these panels be run under composite shingles using the proper flashing somehow? I can't find anything online.

👍🏽

Yano if i had a video like this about 35yrs ago that would have been awesome?!? LOL I grew up in a time they didnt even have cell phones so i ,surely didnt have youtube! lol I have done metal work and facia and trim for years. A lot of that can be incorperated in the installing of the metal roofing. But when it comes to the type of products you should have too install it is the thing? I just need to know what items and products i need to get a roof done? Like starters ,which you are calling a continuous kleet. But its basically a metal starter strip, channel lock for the last piece....? In any case i just told a guy that is hiring me yet a 3rd time to do some work i could install the metal roofing like i have done it before.......nope! LOL but i am 100% sure i can figure it out! Now i know there are things i dont know about it i should know. But then i wouldnt be working so.....hehehe Where can i go to find out what products i need for this type of roofing? So im not totally winging it?lol

Or just put your panel up and mark your cuts on each side and use a straight edge to join those marks. Or just use a chalk line depending on how long your cut is.

I didn’t like any of thos ideas. How he install. Nop. There’s other way to do it better

Show us a rake edge meeting the top of the hip. Can't find that video anywhere.

Why do you need to seal it with that special tape when it’s just going on top of the roof that’s already metal?

Where do i find those arm protesters?

Step flashing isn't the right turn. That means something else.

You just skipped filming the important and probably difficult part finishing the eave end. Why?

So if I follow your recommendations with the double-sided tape I will never pull that trim back off to be able to fold the end like you want for the eaves. So I guess unlike you I will manufacture the piece first then put my tape on then install it. 😜

You didn't show anything about the cutting and bending?

Why would you have to use rivets when using the z bar though ? Is only one end of the rake hemmed ? Because the rake I install has a hem and kick on both sides and snaps together like ridge cap

Both ways are correct?

Love the video. But you made two separate cuts on the end and didn’t explain. At first was a tradition V cut. Final was one end being longer than the other to tuck back in. It would be nice if you showed the final end cap cuts.

Excellent instruction.

Is there a maximum gap distance between the sheet metal pieces on each side of the hip? And how much does the cover have to go over the edge of the sheet metal? Thankyou very much!

Yeah do it on site instead of your shop phoney fckrz

interesting accent , American/Canadian / Irish mix ?

Podrían hacer un tutorial en español o con subtitulos

Hola saludos desde chile....

Not happy about how the top screws are pressing down on the ridge gap into those "clips", it looks all wavey to me. Also the foam doesn't look compressed enough at least for north american winters. Hmmm, onto another video. Thanks for the info none-the-less. Still a Thumbs Up for ABC.

thank you for sharing :)

do I still have to cut a vent if I'm installing over shingles?

No way in Hell I would ever ridge vent that way. Lame!!

Absolutely not helpful, show us the top

It would be great it you had explained the mitter cuts This video don't help

Que fácil es hacerlo en la sombra, con aire acondicionado, parado en el piso y si el temor de resbalarse ( aunque traigas harness) da miedo pero bueno los gueros el crédito y el hispano la chinga 😂😂😂 quiera Dios algún día graben algo pero 💯 por 💯 real

It has been good to see and learn

this is dog shit

Whats the purposenof the Z trim?

Do you have a video on a pyramid cap for a gazebo where all 4 points meet up.

Mientes y ases más caro el proyecto

Excellent Video

What is the purposenof the continous cleat?

The wall flashing should have a hem underneath, use it to cleat the z trim. Why put fasteners in a standing seam roof? Everything should be cleated and use rivets if you must

Does rake trime goes all around the roof or only on the sides?

Not a fan of these methods. You should use drip edge that you can wrap around the panels from both the bottom and the sides - this is both cleaner and stronger, plus there are no visible fasteners in the panel, hence no future leak concerns. The panel also does not stick up at the base with a cleat as shown toward the end of the video.

its called hidden fastener for a reason

This was not written for the novice in mind. I consider myself a capable DIYer; but, there was MUCH that I didn’t understand with this video and he cut out a lot of details that could have otherwise been helpful.

I'm building a shed against the back of a house. I'll have a hi-side trim installed on the side of the house and extending several inches over the shed roof (extending over the panel ribs and installed on zee-closure). I'll also have a rake trim installed on a perimeter cleat and zee-closure. How do I finish the rake trim where it meets the hi-side trim?

---so, basically nothing but a caulk bead at the z-trim as a water barrier along the entire joint line ? It also appears the z-trim has been notched at each rib and NOT sealed up edges and no seal at top where the z-trim and transition trim meet. Then you add a narrow off-set and end up with a lap-over of top panels of less than 4 inches. Great work if you never have any wind blowing with the rain. In hurricane areas, THAT is a guaranteed leaking joint, especially if the lower roof has a low pitch. Great job.
