Snap Lock (Clip System)

The Snap Lock panel with a clip system represents the pinnacle of architectural metal roofing. It is a premium concealed fastener panel prized for its elegant, smooth sight lines, sophisticated appearance, and superior engineering. This profile is the preferred solution for high-end residential, commercial, and institutional projects where aesthetics and long-term performance are paramount.

The critical difference in the clip system design is the use of floating clips. These durable clips are fastened directly to the roof deck, and the metal panel is “snapped” down over them. This system is not rigidly attached, allowing the entire panel to move freely as temperatures change throughout the day and seasons. This design virtually eliminates the risk of oil canning (buckling) and drastically increases the roof’s wind uplift resistance.

With its sleek 16-inch width and seamless appearance, the Snap Lock clip system delivers a clean, modern finish that provides maximum weather protection and lasts the lifetime of the building.

To meet specific architectural needs, this panel can be customized with various surface profiles. Whether you prefer a perfectly smooth look or added structural texture, we can manufacture the panel with clip relief, bead ribs, pencil ribs, striations, or a traditional flat pan.

Note: Oil canning is not a cause for rejection
