ABSTRACT:
A standing seam roofing/cladding system (2) includes elongate pans (4) having first and second lateral edges (6, 8) secured to a support structure (12) by channel brackets (10). The channel brackets each include a base (36) and first and second U-shaped arms (38, 40) defining downwardly opening cavities (42, 44). The lateral edges of the pans each include upwardly extending hems (18, 20), sized and positioned to be housed within the cavities formed by the U-shaped arms. The lateral edges also include generally vertically extending legs (22, 24) extending from the hems. The engagement of the hems within the cavities secures the lateral edges of the pans to the support structure. The upper portions (26, 28; 58, 60) of the legs are mechanically interlocked to form a standing seam (30; 62) thus creating a standing seam joint (45). An optional batten (52) may be used over the standing seam joint if desired.
