Understanding Oil Canning in Metal Roofing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Metal roofing is celebrated for its durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal, making it ideal for quality-focused construction projects. However, one challenge that can compromise the visual integrity of metal roofs is oil canning\u2014the waviness or rippling that can appear on the surface. At Spengler Industries, we ensure your project is virtually impervious to oil canning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need proof?<\/strong> Here\u2019s a project with 35 feet of continuous panels on a convex surface, done right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Oil Canning:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oil canning is a phenomenon that results from the metal panels contracting and expanding due to temperature changes. This contraction and expansion can create stress on the panels, leading to visible deformations on the surface. While some degree of expansion and contraction is inherent in metal roofing it should never affect cosmetics or be visible. We are able to eliminate oil canning and provide our clients with roofing systems that stand the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventative Measures for Oil Canning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the problems we see are due to poor machining and poor substructures. Here’s an example of how that can translate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panel Length Limits for Optimal Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following traditional methods rooted in centuries-old European craftsmanship, we establish panel length limits based on different metals to ensure optimal performance. This includes recommendations such as keeping wall cladding panels 5-8% shorter than roofing panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PANEL SIZES
Panel width: –
– 6\u201d – 20\u201d possible
– 17\u201d standard panel width

Maximum panel length:
– 28 feet in aluminum and zinc
– 30 feet in copper
– 33 feet in steel
– 38 feet in lower stainless steels
– 42 feet in 316L and titanium<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fastening with Precision:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recommend the use of stainless steel clips and ring shank nails for fastening metal roofing. However, we acknowledge the need for cost-effective solutions, allowing the use of galvanized clips and nails for painted steel or aluminum materials. The length of the nails is also crucial, with recommendations tailored to the sheathing and ice and water shield thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip Spacing Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Determining the spacing of clips is a nuanced process that considers local wind uplift and snow load requirements, panel width, subsurface strength, roof orientation, slope, insulation, ventilation, and humidity transfer. While a general guideline suggests clips not being further apart than 16 inches, specific conditions may warrant different measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Fixed and Expansion Clips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For panels longer than 10 feet, a combination of fixed and expansion clips is recommended to address expansion and contraction. The placement of fixed clips depends on the roof slope, ensuring a robust fixation area to withstand the forces acting on the panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application-Specific Solutions for Metal Panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Traditional Double Locked Standing Seam Panel (TDLSSP) is designed for various applications, including straight surface roofing, curved or arched cladding, and 3D-shaped surfaces. The installation process involves meticulous steps, from substrate preparation to the use of recommended fasteners and mechanical seaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper Storage and Handling of Metal Panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proper storage is crucial to prevent moisture-related issues that can affect the appearance and service life of the material. Panels should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place, and if outdoor storage is necessary, protective measures such as ventilated canvas or waterproof paper covers should be employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
