The Mechanical Loc panel is a commercial grade panel that is mechanically seamed and installed with a concealed clip system. This panel is ideal for shallow sloped roofs and is available in 2”, 1.5” and 1” seam heights. The appeal of the Mechanical Loc system is the long clean lines and wide panel spans. Moreover, this system provides superior weather-tight protection and allows for thermal expansion and contraction with a floating clip system. Mechanical Loc is available with minor ribs and comes in variable widths. Mechanical Loc requires on-site seaming.

The use of a proper underlayment is vital to the performance of any roofing system. Forma Steel strongly recommends the use of a peel and stick membrane for any slopes lower than 3/12. Since every project is different, care and attention should be paid to the product that is being specified so that the building performs as designed. Venting, breathability and water resistance are all components of a building envelope and should be confirmed with building designers for optimal performance.
