Dutch Seam Difference

June 27, 2024

Dutch Seam® is a continuous standing seam metal panel with an integral seam, which was originally developed as a roof panel. 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. 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. The minimum slope requirement for a roof is 2:12. A flat roof can be converted to the correct slope with the simple addition of a lightweight truss system. As a wall panel it can be installed vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. You can also enhance aesthetics of Dutch Seam by using factory fabricated Elite Series accessories, including the Z Box and Closure Angle.


After completing panel interlock, panels can be easily moved into cleats at valley and eave conditions. Connection at panel allows uninhibited movement.
