The Snap Lock Insulated Roof Panel combines an Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam core with prepainted galvalume steel or aluminum skins, creating a concealed fastener roof system for solid substrates. The patented locking mechanism features a punched flange for fastener attachment on one edge while the opposite edge snaps onto the adjacent panel’s rib, forming a weather-tight seal without exposed fasteners.
Available in 12-inch and 16-inch profile widths with custom lengths from 3 to 48 feet, panels come in 26 or 24 gauge steel thicknesses. Steel meets ASTM A792 and CSA-S136 standards, while aluminum options include .024 or .032 inch thicknesses with stucco or cedar embossing patterns. Prepainted finishes carry 40-year peel warranties and 30-year chalk/fade coverage.
Installation requires solid substrates with minimum 3:12 roof pitch, beginning with the first panel aligned square to the roof edge. Subsequent panels snap together sequentially using concealed pancake head wood screws spaced 15.5 inches apart with self-sealing washers. Applied sealants within panel joints and foam closures at eaves and ridges create moisture barriers resistant to UV damage.
The system accommodates non-penetrating clamp attachments for solar panels or snow retention and includes custom flashings for skylights. Performance documentation details span capabilities under various loads, with panels engineered to meet building code requirements for structural adequacy and high wind resistance.
