Standing Seam from Colorspan Industries is a cladding system that is perfectly suited for application on both roofing and wall facades. A flexible and adaptive cladding profile in that it is not limited to flat surface applications, it can be easily fixed to several different surfaces including curved, concave, convex, dome, conical and combinations of these to create wave effects. This makes it an exceptionally effective contemporary architectural cladding profile for building structures with complex designs.
“This Classic Modern Profile offers a traditional aesthetic to avoid the industrial style of other cladding systems.”
Available in a range of pan widths and lengths of up to 8 metres, the Standing Seam panel cladding system will meet your building construction requirements. The longitudinal ribbed aspect combined with vast finishing options including Colorbond, Copper, Weathering Steel, Aluminium, Zinc, and Stainless Steel will create a truly unique style for your building project.
Our Standing Seam profile comprises a fully recessed pan with a raised/standing seam of either 25mm or 38mm in height.
The overall effect of a structure covered by this cladding is a series continuous flowing thick bands neatly framed by thin ribs. This lends to a range of effects through a combination of light, shadows, the material used and finish to produce a dynamic visual impact. This profile can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
One of the advantages of using Standing Seam panels is the variable pan width which can be adjusted to control the spacing between windows and doorways With this, the ribs finish neatly along with the frames or shut lines.
Installation of standing seam cladding requires a firm and continuous support (usually plywood) that is ventilated from the load bearing structure to which it is fixed. The Standing Seam cladding sections are fixed using steel clips at a 300mm maximum centres which are fixed to the plywood. The profile incorporates a male and female rib which work together to lap each other and be crimped together to create a strong sealed joint which is ideal for buildings exposed to severe weather applications such as strong winds, heavy rain, coastal spray and snowfall.
Colorspan Industries are able to provide Architectural Cladding in a wide selection of material types and finishes to meet both aesthetic and performance properties.
This ensures your project maintains design consistency without compromising on durability or functionality.

Panel Coverage Distances is recommended to be at 330mm or below when installed onto a flat substrate.
However, it can be customised from a range of 180mm – 500mm if deemed necessary, with a flat substrate installed to ensure proper installation of the panel.
A 15mm thick plywood is installed onto a structural wall.
A Foot Mould is then installed at the bottom section of the wall.
A Watergate Plus Membrane is secured onto the plywood substrate.
Standing Seam panels are then installed over the waterproofed membrane with stainless steel clips.
The seams of the Standing Seam panels are firmly locked with a seaming tool to clasp the panels in place.
A Capping is placed on top to secure the panels in place and to ensure no water leakage.
What is the difference between Standing Seam, Snap Lock and Nail Strip?
What is the difference between Standing Seam, Snap Lock and Nail Strip?
The Standing Seam system incorporates panels that lap each other which are then sealed with a specialised tool.
The flexibility of the system is hard to beat and has a superior facade look.
Snap Lock provides a similar aesthetic to Standing Seam. The Snap Lock profile does not require seam closing tools
as the profile is designed to clip together.
The Nail Strip panel is installed with screw fixings. Each strip is snapped over the adjoining panel securing it in place
and concealing the screw fixing. Installation is simple and quick, with no need for seam closing tools.
Are special tools required to install Standing Seam?
Are special tools required to install Standing Seam?
Yes, there is a unique seaming tool that is needed which is readily available from Colorspan.
How do I maintain my cladding (dependant on material)?
How do I maintain my cladding (dependant on material)?
Usually, clean water is sufficient with a soft, bristle brush. For more stubborn stains, a mild detergent can be used.
