Inverted Seam™
Roof Cladding System
Inverted Seam is a roof system that provides designers with a smooth uniform metal surface on for a variety of roof applications including low-pitch surfaces. The system provides a powerful method for controlling precipitation through subsurface channels with no visible fasteners.

About Inverted Seam
Inverted Seam was developed by Zahner as a solution to create the smoothest, most uniform cladding system with powerful moisture control. As a roof system, Inverted Seam is free of upstanding ribs and seams that define typical metal roof surfaces. It is also free of face-fasteners. All of the attachment hardware is based on internal interlocking hardware.
The highly flexible system is often used to prevent moisture build-up on low-pitch or nearly flat roofs. When precipitation strikes the surface of the roof, the moisture is contained on the surface or confined within a concealed guttering system. This series of channels runs the course of the entire roof, to be diverted into drainage or water collection systems.
The system is fully engineered to control moisture with metal. Inverted Seam systems are not dependent on seals or membranes to keep moisture out. It incorporates secondary and tertiary water deterrent mechanisms within the cavity spaces below the metal surface.
The Inverted Seam system provides a number of features and benefits:
