Aurubis Snaplock ® Copper Standing Seam Roof and Rainscreen Facade Cladding - Roof and Rainscreen Facade Cladding

The Snaplock ® standing seam system is extensively used in Europe and the United States of America, where the system has proved itself in the extremely varied climate. This system with traditional detailing gives an aesthetically pleasing finish whilst avoiding the industrial finishes found in other standing seam systems. Suitable for use as a roof covering, facade rainscreen cladding and also a dormer roof and fascia finish.

Features and benefits:

• Manufactured from lightweight corrosion resistant phosphorus deoxidized copper (Cu-DHP, 99.9% pure) which complies with EN 1172.
• Material - A1 fire rated, anti microbial.
• Exceptional, indefinite lifespan demonstrated over hundreds of years.
• Seams are available in 25 or 38 mm formats.
• The Snaplock® seam system can be laid on a ventilated timber substrate, composite panel or direct on insulation, using special warm roof fixing clips.
• Snaplock® is much simpler and requires less skill/ hand tools than the traditional standing seam. The profile contains an undercloak and an overcloak – the undercloak side is fixed with a stainless steel fixing clip with the overcloak side then snapped into place.
