Batten Lock Seam Panel is a traditional panel known as a 'batten lock' or 'roll cap' panel. This is a roof system with a wider ridge or bay and a metal cap. A metal panel with upstands each side is laid on plywood with a metal or wooden bay in between. A metal capping is then laid over the bay giving the roll cap system a robust appearence. |
Cladding

A panel with a tongue and groove pattern, known as an 'interlocking panel'.

An interlocking and overlapping planel, known as a 'flat lock panel'. Other names given to this profile are 'locked seam', 'shingle' or 'tile'. The shingle/tile like panel is at 30 - 40 mm folds around the perimeter of the panel. These folds are formed simply to interlock and overlap with each other, so that the end visual result is slim lines where the joints are located. Each panel is installed sequentially eith the loxer fold of each panel interlocked with the upper fold of the panel below. The upper and side panels are attached to the roof with the clips which are concealed next to the overlapping panel. |

An interlocking and overlapping flat sheet panel known as a 'flush lock panel. This panel is a variation on the 'flat lock' panel. Like the flat lock panel it is flat with 30mm - 40mm folds around the perimeter of the panel, but the flush lock panel differs as the folds on two sides of the panel are recessed by the thickness of the material itself. These folds are formed simply to interlock and overlap with each other, so that the end visual result is a slim line where the joint is located. With the two recessed side panels, a shadow gap of 2mm - 10mm can be achieved. This is technically referred to as a 'ship-lap' panel, where the face of the panel is flush. Each panel is installed sequentially with the lower fold of each panel interlocking with the upper fold of the panel below. The upper and side panels are attached to the structure with clips which are concealed by the next overlapping panel. |
