Metal Roof Installation Using Crimping Video

Jeff Smith from Al Smith Gutters demonstrates the installation of a modern metal roof panel. After sliding the panel into place stainless steel clips are installed which will allow the panel to expand and contract during its thermal cycle while still firmly adhering it to the roof underlayment. A hand crimper is then used along the entire length of the panel and finally an electric seamer seals the deal.
