Metal roofing systems are one of the most popular types in Honolulu, HI. When it comes to making metal roofs, 3-D Sheetmetal is the number one choice for sheet metal fabrication. This company knows the in and outs of metal work and what goes into making your metal roof look shiny and pristine.

Roll-Forming Standing Seam Panels

In order to make standing seam metal roof, sheet metal must go through a roll-former. The metal coil is bent and curved through a series of rolls, each of which bends more than the last. The hardened steel rolls are capable of bending metal as thick as 22-gauge steel. The roll-former also creates different standing seam profiles that include snap lock standing seam, snap lock with a nailing strip, mechanical lock, and many other intricate profiles. This is all made simple by a computer control unit on the roll-former that can set up the machine’s operation speed, panel length, cutting specifications, and more.

Sheet Metal Shop

Other than the sheet metal fabrication process for standing seam metal panels, accessories need to be made for a metal roof to be completed. The sheet metal shop is responsible for fabricating all the metal roof accessories, including valley pans, ridge caps, drip edges, flashing, and more. Precision metal work is required to make any type of vertical panel metal roof.

All this is possible through computerized sheet metal brakes used in the sheet metal shop. These powerful brakes are easily capable of bending 22-gauge metal or thicker. Along with these brakes, hydraulic shears are used to cut strips of metal to specification. Besides the computerized brakes and the hydraulic shears, no metal shop is complete without some heavy-duty racks to store all the produced flashing accessories. 

The entire sheet metal fabrication process requires expert technique by highly trained metal workers. Learn more about what goes into making your metal roof by visiting 3-D Sheetmetal online. Call them at (808) 842-0110 today to learn more.
