Mechanical Loc
Commercial Grade Standing Seam Panel
The Mechanical Loc panel is a commercial grade panel that is mechanically seamed and installed with a concealed clip system. This panel offers long clean lines and wide variable widths. A suitable choice for climates with high wind, high snow accumulation, and extreme temperatures. Ideal for shallow sloped roofs and is available in 1”, 1.5” and 2” seam heights. Available with either minor ribs or striations. Striations are recommended on panels to minimize the appearance of oil-canning.
The use of proper underlayment is vital to the performance of any roofing system, we recommend the use of a peel and stick membrane for any slopes lower than 3:12.

Installation Guide
The use of a proper underlayment is vital to the performance of any roofing system. Forma Steel strongly recommends the use of a peel and stick membrane for any slopes lower than 3/12. Since every project is different, care and attention should be paid to the product that is being specified so that the building performs as designed.
Venting, breathability and water resistance are all components of a building envelope and should be confirmed with building designers for optimal performance.
