The intricate art of installing a standing seam copper porch roof
In short: Discover the meticulous process of fitting a curved copper roof, from sheathing with bendable plywood to the precise mechanical locking of standing seams using pliers and electric rollers.
This video demonstrates how professional roofing teams secure decorative and durable copper on curved porch rafters. The process begins with sheathing the structure in bendable plywood, followed by a self-sealing membrane and rosin paper.
To create a watertight seal, installers use standing seam copper panels that are formed on-site. These panels are joined by bending the two seams together with pliers and then using an electric roller to lock them into place. The seams are further secured to the roof using concealed copper clips that are nailed down.
