Here we demonstrate the Quadro profile rolling machine at the Prestige factory, cutting custom sheets rather than direct feeding from the coil. This demonstration shows the Standing Seam profile being produced in Nordic Brown Copper, and goes through our process . . .
Watch as we demonstrate this full sealant with 320kg of grabbing power per 10cm² and an immediate grab of one second when pressed together . . .
Watch as we demonstrate at the Prestige factory a 180-degree fold on a piece of zinc using this quality roofing tool . . .
Oil Canning can be defined as visible waviness in the flat areas of metal roofing and metal wall panels. In technical terms, oil canning is referred to as elastic buckling (more commonly known as “stress wrinkling”) . . .
Far too many times we have been contacted at Prestige by builders having to retro-fit flashings to the wall of a structure, or a skylight. All because it was not going to "look pretty" . . .
We get a lot of calls from customers and clients asking if it is really necessary to put the top hat section into the interlocking panels . . .
Here are five little steps for making your Standing Seam Roofing job that little bit better . . .
Metal roofing materials expand and contract due to temperature variations, so panels will have a level of oil canning . . .
Prestige wishes to advise the following. That all metals will expand and contract at different rates. This expansion can and will move adhesives overtime and can result in a natural wave to a metal materials. This is not a defect but a natural occurrence when working with sheet metal. Prestige will work to the closest of tolerance but reserves the right to a margin of 2.5mm tolerance on products and services provided. Prestige can not warrant nor accept any responsibility on any product once removed from the main premises of prestige for external treatment or other applications out side of the original manufactured state, not limited to the unknown use of products after purchase.
