SNAPLOCK
Snaplock is a modern alternative to the traditional standing seam. This system reduces installation time and associated costs thanks to a quick and cost-effective installation process. Similar in appearance to Nailstrip, Snaplock offers the installer a more professional installation without the need for specialist tools – making it a popular profile for both builders and architects for roofing and walling.
Snaplock is held in position using a clip (similar to standing seam), enabling the panel to expand and contract. This allows a more diverse range of materials to be utilised and is perfect for use in extreme weather landscapes.

- Minimal material maintenance.

Installation
Architectural Cladding Suppliers cannot guarantee that your metal panels will not experience the effects of what is commonly referred to as oil canning. Oil canning can occur on all types of metal and is not considered a panel defect. For more information please refer to our article on oil canning.
ACS recommends installing a “breathable vapour” membrane to act as a second line of defence to stop any water ingress as well as allowing the building to “breathe”. Any flashings required can be sourced from PPC Flashings.
Stop ends and/or hooks to each panel are highly recommended by Architectural Cladding Suppliers. If you are unsure, please contact us prior to ordering.
Do not continue if the installation does not seem right, contact Architectural Cladding Suppliers.
