solution from Alumasc The building roofscape – both as an architectural statement and as a functional element - is a conjunction of the roof, the perimeter detailing and the rainwater solution. Pitched and curved roofs provide a strong architectural statement in themselves, whereas flat roofs rely for their visual impact on the strength of the perimeter detailing. Alumasc Armaseam Metal

dramatic roofscapes in metal Armaseam is a versatile, high performing standing seam system based on the tried and tested principle of zipped joints. It is virtually maintenance free, totally weatherproof with no penetrative fixings, and will provide outstanding performance for the life of the building. The flexibility and adaptability of Armaseam make it equally suitable for pitched, curved or virtually flat roof applications. Panels can be formed in the flat to almost unlimited length.

Armaseam: solutions for
Standing seam is one of the oldest forms of roofing to exploit the special aesthetic and weatherproofing properties of non-ferrous metals. Traditionally, these metals have required continuous support from a solid substrate and their application has been highly labour intensive. Armaseam by Alumasc brings all the special architectural qualities and material options associated with traditional standing seam roofing into a modern context.

Skyline: function and add The interface between walls and roof at the building eaves is one of the most crucial facets of design - both functionally and aesthetically. The sharpness and vibrancy of factory finished aluminium, fully exploited by Alumasc’s creative fabrication skills, has provided dramatic engineered solutions over a wide range of buildings for both public and commercial sectors.
