Premier Standing Seam Roofing Systems
Premier Standing Seam systems are available in two
different profiles. PermaShield is our most economical
standing seam due to its integrated fastener flange and 1
inch rib height. Permashield panels cover 16 inches per
panel, and are available in 26 and 24 gauge steel, and
.032 inch aluminum.
DuraSeam is our strongest standing seam option,
with its 1-3/4 inch rib height and 18 inch max width.
DuraSeam panels install with clips, and are available in both 26 and 24 gauge steel, as well as .032 inch
aluminum.
Manufacturing process
Premier panels and trims are manufactured to the highest quality standards in our manufacturing plant in
Tampa, Florida, using the latest state-of-the-artcomputerized equipment . Our quality assurance is second to
none in the industry, with multiple internal quality checks, combined with a robust, 3rd-party quality
auditing program. We partner with the best steel and aluminum mills, coatings companies, and accessory
manufacturers to ensure that all products we supply provide the maximum protection for your building.
Panel and Trim Specifications
Panels are custom-manufactured in seamless lengths up to 55 feet long. Panels are typically
manufactured and crated at our plant, which allows us to put them through all of our quality checks, but on-
site manufacturing is offered when job-site conditions require it (striated only).
By default, panels are produced with striations between ribs. Some systems can be produced without
striations with a signed oil-canning waiver from the customer.
Trim is produced in 10 foot lengths. Standard trims and trim details are shown in this manual. We can
custom-make almost any trim profile your job requires.

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO STANDING SEAM ROOFING
Installation of Panels
The most common flashing for standing seam roofing is the ridge cap, which is used at the peak of a roof where
two opposing roof slopes join, and attaches to the roof with z-flashing. Other flashings that attach with z-flashing
include transition flashing (which also requires panel starter), end wall and sidewall flashings. Panel starter is
required to attach panels over valleys, Eave flashings include gable flashing, which runs up the sloped ends of the
roof, and eave drip, which trims out the lower ends of the panels and provides a surface for the attachment of the
lower end of the panel. Both gable flashing and eave drip are often applied above fascia trim, and may be attached
with either surface screws or hidden eave cleats. For details about the application of each type of trim, see the details
provided on pgs. 9-14.
Fig. 6 Most of the basic
standing seam trims are used
on dormers. The bottom
corners of the dormer
are similar to the
placement of sidewall
and endwall flashings
on chimneys. All but
valleys and eave drip
require z-flashing;
valleys require panel
starter, and eave drip may
be screwed or fastened
with eave cleats.
Dormer detail
Roof pitch must be given when ordering ridge caps, endwalls, valleys, and
eave drip. When a steeper roof slope meets a lesser slope, both slopes
should be mentioned when ordering transition flashing.

Oil-canning is a wave-like, rippled appearance extending up the length of the panel after it has been installed on
the roof. Any irregularities in the roof, including uneven plywood joints, warped plywood, uneven trusses, poor
application of underlayment, the use of button caps with felt paper, etc., can promote oil-canning. Care should be
taken to provide a flat, uniform surface on which to attach the panels. See page 8 for more details.

Ordering and Applying Trim
Roof Preparation
For PermaShield, Premier Metal Roof Manufacturing requires a minimum roof pitch of ¼"/12 for applications
where a minimum ¼” bead of Titebond sealant (or approved equal) is placed continuously at the base of the male rib,
where the rib meets the screw flange. For roof slopes of 3/12 or higher, no sealant is required.
For DuraSeam, a minimum pitch of 2/12 is required (unless approved in writing by Premier – with written
approval, application on roof slopes as low as ¼"/12 is acceptable).

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO STANDING SEAM ROOFING
Ordering Roof Panels and Screws
Care should be taken to order panels of the correct length to avoid having to make corrective
measures after purchase. Panel lengths should fall 2 to 3 inches short of the ridge when a vented ridge is
desired, and should be ordered to extend 2½ inches past the eave when being attached to extended eave
drip (see p. 7). The Premier sales personnel are ready to assist customers with information specific to
their particular roof.
Special, flat-headed screws called pancake screws are used to attach either nail strip panels or the
®clips that secure the locking panels. Woodgrip pancakes are used when going into wood decking, or
self-drilling pancakes for going into metal purlins. The same screws also secure attachment flashings
like z-flashing, panel starter, and eave cleats. 1/8-inch stainless rivets are recommended for attaching
ridge caps, endwall and sidewall
flashings, transition flashings, and any
other flashings that attach to z-flashing.
See page 8 for more information on
screw spacing and ordering.
On PermaShield (nailstrip) panels, screws should
be centered in slot and should not be tightened
completely to allow for panel expansion.

General Principles of a Typical
Installation—Hidden Fastener
System
Except for only a few differences, the high-rib DuraSeam panels and the low-rib PermaShield panels
are installed in the same general fashion. Where pancake screws are applied to the “nailstrip” of the
PermaShield panel, special clips (that require 2 screws each) are used for the DuraSeam panel.
When used, extended eave drip should be installed first along the drip edge of the roof. The lower end
of each panel is then trimmed and the hem pre-bent before installation (see p. 11). The starter panel is laid
out with the overlap side against an eave or wall and the hem pulled up tight and then compressed around
the eave drip. The “nailstrip” (or clips, in the case of DuraSeam) is screwed off completely with pancake
screws before the next panel is installed. Care should be taken that the starter panel is square with the roof,
since the first panel determines the lay of all that follow it.
The pre-bent eave end of the next panel is then pulled tight against the eave drip and pressed or
“walked” down over the first panel, its nailstrip secured, and the next panel applied, and so on. Each panel
is always screwed off and the hem finished before installing the next. The unfastened length against the
gable or wall is secured (then or later) with z-flashing and either gable rakes (on the gable eave) or
sidewalls (against a wall).
Since allowance must be made in the hidden
fastener system for hemming panels that attach to
extended eave drip (see p. 11), these panels should
be ordered approximately 2½" longer than the
substrate decking to allow panel length for the 1½"
nose on extended eave drip plus the 1" hem.
Likewise, panels ending in valleys should be
ordered 1" longer for hemming, but with allowance made for a 3 or 4" passageway between the panel
and the valley diverter to allow for the flow of water (subtract 3 or 4").
Where the deck makes a transition from a higher to lesser pitch, lower panels should be ordered
from the transition point downward allowing for eave drip (as above), and upper panels must allow for a
setback away from the transition point depending upon the roof pitch, the less the difference in pitch, the
greater the setback, and the more the need for a longer length on the lower side of the transition flashing
(see p. 15 for details).
The general principles of attaching the upper and lower edges of standing seam roofing are most
thoroughly covered in the sections on “Eave drip”(p. 11) and “Ridge caps” (p. 9).

Trimming and Cutting Steel Panels
The best devices for cutting steel panels across the profile are circular saws, nibblers, and
various shear attachments for drills. Hand operated snips also work. Nibblers, and especially
Carborundum blades on electric saws, however, do have a tendency to either leave hot metal particles
that can burn paint surfaces or leave rust marks on panels and trim. The same is true of any filings left
on the roof caused by the application of screws. Care should be taken to brush all such particles from
roof surfaces immediately after application.
To cut panels lengthwise: Note carefully where the panel is to be cut, and, using a straightedge,
score deeply down the length of the panel with a sharp-pointed utility knife. Folding the panel along the
score mark, and bending back again if necessary, should produce a clean break in the panel.
Keep Materials Dry!
Paint and finishes of Premier panels and trim are designed to withstand severe rain and wet
weather conditions. Neither paint, galvanized, or Galvalume finishes, however, are designed to be in
continuous contact with water for long periods of time. Damage will result if uninstalled panels or trim
are allowed to remain wet in storage. Be sure to store material that will not be installed immediately in
a dry location. Wet material should be air-dried and re-stacked if installation is not planned right away.

panels to allow for hemming of panels, overhang,

General Principles of a Typical
Installation—Hidden Fastener
System
Except for only a few differences, the high-rib DuraSeam panels and the low-rib PermaShield panels
are installed in the same general fashion. Where pancake screws are applied to the “nailstrip” of the
PermaShield panel, special clips (that require 2 screws each) are used for the DuraSeam panel.
When used, extended eave drip should be installed first along the drip edge of the roof. The lower end
of each panel is then trimmed and the hem pre-bent before installation (see p. 11). The starter panel is laid
out with the overlap side against an eave or wall and the hem pulled up tight and then compressed around
the eave drip. The “nailstrip” (or clips, in the case of DuraSeam) is screwed off completely with pancake
screws before the next panel is installed. Care should be taken that the starter panel is square with the roof,
since the first panel determines the lay of all that follow it.
The pre-bent eave end of the next panel is then pulled tight against the eave drip and pressed or
“walked” down over the first panel, its nailstrip secured, and the next panel applied, and so on. Each panel
is always screwed off and the hem finished before installing the next. The unfastened length against the
gable or wall is secured (then or later) with z-flashing and either gable rakes (on the gable eave) or
sidewalls (against a wall).
Since allowance must be made in the hidden
fastener system for hemming panels that attach to
extended eave drip (see p. 11), these panels should
be ordered approximately 2½" longer than the
substrate decking to allow panel length for the 1½"
nose on extended eave drip plus the 1" hem.
Likewise, panels ending in valleys should be
ordered 1" longer for hemming, but with allowance made for a 3 or 4" passageway between the panel
and the valley diverter to allow for the flow of water (subtract 3 or 4").
Where the deck makes a transition from a higher to lesser pitch, lower panels should be ordered
from the transition point downward allowing for eave drip (as above), and upper panels must allow for a
setback away from the transition point depending upon the roof pitch, the less the difference in pitch, the
greater the setback, and the more the need for a longer length on the lower side of the transition flashing
(see p. 15 for details).
The general principles of attaching the upper and lower edges of standing seam roofing are most
thoroughly covered in the sections on “Eave drip”(p. 11) and “Ridge caps” (p. 9).

Trimming and Cutting Steel Panels
The best devices for cutting steel panels across the profile are circular saws, nibblers, and
various shear attachments for drills. Hand operated snips also work. Nibblers, and especially
Carborundum blades on electric saws, however, do have a tendency to either leave hot metal particles
that can burn paint surfaces or leave rust marks on panels and trim. The same is true of any filings left
on the roof caused by the application of screws. Care should be taken to brush all such particles from
roof surfaces immediately after application.
To cut panels lengthwise: Note carefully where the panel is to be cut, and, using a straightedge,
score deeply down the length of the panel with a sharp-pointed utility knife. Folding the panel along the
score mark, and bending back again if necessary, should produce a clean break in the panel.
Keep Materials Dry!
Paint and finishes of Premier panels and trim are designed to withstand severe rain and wet
weather conditions. Neither paint, galvanized, or Galvalume finishes, however, are designed to be in
continuous contact with water for long periods of time. Damage will result if uninstalled panels or trim
are allowed to remain wet in storage. Be sure to store material that will not be installed immediately in
a dry location. Wet material should be air-dried and re-stacked if installation is not planned right away.

Policies
Delivery policy Delivery charges apply to all orders where delivery is requested. Please consult your Premier sales department
for details.
Sales tax All orders picked up at Premier Manufacturing, and all orders delivered within the state of Florida, are subject to
state sales tax. Tax exemptions should be verified prior to delivery or customer pickup. Orders delivered out-of-state are
tax exempt.
Indemnity All prices and designs are subject to change without notice
Disclaimer While we have made every attempt at accuracy in this manual, we are not responsible for typographic, printing, or
technical errors.
Oil Canning—a repeating, wave-like appearance in the length of the panel—is a common and often unavoidable phenomenon
in all profiles of standing seam roofing due to the large, flat areas within the panel. It is therefore not a defect, nor a cause for
rejection. Since ordering panels without striations greatly increases the risk of oil canning, striated panels are
recommended for standing seam.
Return policy All panel orders and special order (non-stock) trims are considered the property of the customer and non-
refundable once they are manufactured. Standard trim and accessories are refundable providing they are returned in a
clean, resalable condition. Call Premier Metal Roof Mfg for details on our return policy.
Standing seam roofing is installed in a way that
completely conceals any fasteners. Pancake screws
are used because they are strong and yet have a low
profile which does not interfere with panel and trim
installation.
For fastener spacing on PermaShield panels,
refer to the appropriate product approval. Also of
note, product approvals for some high-wind
applications require the use of adhesive sealant at the
base of the male rib.
DuraSeam panels are installed with clips, and
spacing of clips is also determined by the appropriate
product approval. Each clip requires two fasteners, so
panel fasteners required can be determined by figuring
the number of clips x 2.

Gable trim serves a similar purpose to eave drip,
but acts mainly to protect the exposed edge of the
gable end of the building from both wind and rain
rather than to serve any function in anchoring
panels.
Gable Rakes are attached to the eave with either
one piece Gable Cleats or with a combination
gable and z-flashing. Either way, the attachment
flashings are first mounted on the roof with butyl
tape and screws, and the rakes are attached to the
flashings with rivets. See illustrations below.
Fascia and extended eave drip provide a protective
covering for the fascia boards and edges of roof
decking at the drip eave of the building. Unlike
conventional exposed fastener roofing, eave drip on the
standing seam roof also acts as an anchoring device for
the lower edges of the panels, allowing a continuation
of the hidden fastener system all the way down to the
soffit. Fascia are overlapped by eave cleats, which
approximately line up with the roof edge of the
decking, and are held in place by pancake screws. The
extended eave drip has an open hem that hooks on to
the cleat at its lower end, and is screwed to the decking
on the roof side. Panels are trimmed in a specific
manner (see diagram below), bent with a hemming tool,
and crimped around the extended eave drip, securing
the lower end of the panel. Screws applied to the “nail
strip” of the PermaShield panel (or cleats and screws in
the case of DuraSeam panels) secure the rest of the
length of the panel. The same hemming procedure
applies to valleys and transition flashing, although these
are attached to roof cleats instead of the “nose” of the extended eave drip. See valleys and transition flashing (p. 14)
for specific details.
When ordering care must be taken to specify the correct pitch of eave drip to avoid either unnecessary effort in
applying the trim (if ordered too flat) or eave drip that stands out from the eave (if ordered
too steep). If more than one pitch is involved, specify the number of each pitch (eave drip comes in 10-foot lengths).
Order 90 degree eave drip for square-cut eaves.

Side-wall Flashing
End-wall Flashing
Sidewall installation is similar to that of gable trim. As
with the or GRD1 gable rakes, the standard GRP1
SWS1 sidewall with rivets fastens to z-flashing installed
over the roof panel. e Th Sidewall is attached to the
wall with flat fasteners like pancake screws if installed
under siding (as shown in figure 17), or with a counter-
flashing (using the SSU1 Stucco Stop) if the upper edge
is exposed to weather. In either case, butyl tape (or
equivalent) is necessary to seal under either the z-
flashing.
Installation of endwalls combines principles similar to
those described for sidewalls and ridge caps. Z-flashing is
either notched or cut in lengths between ribs, and attached
with screws and sealant. The endwall is attached to the z-
flashing with rivets, and to the wall with screws. When not
covered by siding, the caulk-edge version is necessary to
seal the wall side of the endwall. Specify roof pitch when
ordering.

Side-wall Flashing
End-wall Flashing
Sidewall installation is similar to that of gable trim. As
with the or GRD1 gable rakes, the standard GRP1
SWS1 sidewallwith rivets fastens to z-flashing installed
over the roof panel. e Th Sidewall is attached to the
wall with flat fasteners like pancake screws if installed
under siding (as shown in figure 17), or with a counter-
flashing (using the SSU1 Stucco Stop) if the upper edge
is exposed to weather. In either case, butyl tape (or
equivalent) is necessary to seal under either the z-
flashing.
Installation of endwalls combines principles similar to
those described for sidewalls and ridge caps. Z-flashing is
either notched or cut in lengths between ribs, and attached
with screws and sealant. The endwall is attached to the z-
flashing with rivets, and to the wall with screws. When not
covered by siding, the caulk-edge version is necessary to
seal the wall side of the endwall. Specify roof pitch when
ordering.
