Delivering architectural flexibility and dependable weather protection

Western States Metal Roofing pairs standing seam systems with precision curving technology. 

When it comes to high-performance metal roofing, seam height and fabrication precision can significantly influence long-term durability and architectural impact. In a recent newsletter, Western States Metal Roofing highlighted its MS1® and MS1.5® mechanically seamed standing seam systems, while a video introduced a new standing seam curving service designed to elevate both residential and commercial projects. 

The newsletter outlines how MS1® and MS1.5® panels are engineered to deliver durability, clean lines and dependable weather protection. MS1® features a 1-inch mechanically seamed profile ideal for residential and light commercial applications. Its low-profile appearance offers a sleek architectural look while maintaining the strength associated with mechanically seamed systems. 

For projects that require enhanced water-shedding and structural performance, MS1.5® provides a taller 1.5-inch seam height. The increased profile makes it well suited for steeper slopes, demanding environments and architectural designs that require added performance without sacrificing aesthetics. Both panel systems are designed for long-term durability and are available in more than 130 colors and finishes, giving designers and contractors extensive flexibility. 

Furthermore, a Western States Metal Roofing video showcases the company’s standing seam curving service. According to the video, standing seam panels can now be precision curved at the company’s facility to achieve smooth convex curves for bold architectural designs. The curved panels are shipped directly to the job site, helping ensure a precise fit while simplifying installation.  

By combining mechanically seamed systems with precision curving capabilities, contractors can deliver distinctive designs without compromising durability or efficiency.
