Curved Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Engineered curved panels delivering smooth radius transitions, architectural interest, and long-lasting standing seam performance.

Curved standing seam roofing uses radius-formed panels to create smooth, flowing rooflines for arched, barrel, and multi-curved designs. McElroy Metal's curved panel systems offer structural strength, weathertight seams, and precise shaping, delivering exceptional performance for architectural features, entryways, canopies, and complex roof geometries.

McElroy’s Maxima ADV non-symmetrical, vertical leg,  mechanically seamed, standing seam system features a 2" tall seam.

Maxima ADV panels are fabricated/curved onsite by a McElroy Metal Roll Forming Technician.

After the completion of the seaming machine operation, the panels present a double lock (180 degree) profile.  

Ease of installation and ability to accept tighter radius are just two benefits of our symmetrical, mechanically seamed, vertical leg 138T panel.

McElroy’s 138T system features a 1 3/8" tall seam and separate batten cap and is manufactured onsite by a McElroy Metal roll forming technician.

 After completion of the seaming operation, the panel and batten resemble a "T" shape.

McElroy’s Medallion I standing seam system is comprised of a panel and separate batten cap. There are two main differences between this system and our other curved roofing systems:  

1. The roofing contractor (as opposed to McElroy) completes the curving process onsite with equipment they are responsible for renting  from Developmental Industries.

2. Medallion I is our only curved product that offers a snap on batten instead of a mechanically seamed batten. 

McElroy’s Maxima 1.5 non-symmetrical, vertical leg, mechanically seamed, standing seam system features a 1.5" tall seam.

Maxima 1.5 panels are fabricated/curved onsite by a McElroy Metal Roll Forming Technician.

After the completion of the seaming machine operation, the panels present a double lock (180 degree) profile.  

Ease of installation and ability to accept tighter radius are just two benefits of our symmetrical, mechanically seamed, vertical leg 238T panel.

McElroy’s 238T features a 2 3/8" tall seam and separate batten cap and is manufactured onsite by a McElroy Metal roll forming technician.

After completion of the seaming operation, the panel and batten resemble a "T" shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions below address common considerations and help guide product selection for your project.

What radius options are available for curved panels?
McElroy Metal can form both large and tight radii depending on the panel profile and project requirements. Custom radius specifications are reviewed during the design process.
Are curved panels mechanically seamed?
Most curved applications use mechanically seamed profiles due to the reinforced seam strength and watertight performance they provide; however, our Medallion I curved system uses a snap-on seam cover.
Can curved panels be used in structural roofing applications?
Yes. Many curved standing seam systems can serve structural roles, depending on the panel type, gauge, and radius. Project-specific engineering is recommended.
Do curved panels require special installation tools?
Installation follows standard standing seam practices, though some projects may require specialized curving equipment or onsite forming.
Can curved panels match the finish of the rest of the roof?
Absolutely. Curved panels use the same color and coating systems as straight panels for seamless visual integration.
What radius options are available for curved panels?
McElroy Metal can form both large and tight radii depending on the panel profile and project requirements. Custom radius specifications are reviewed during the design process.
Can curved panels be used in structural roofing applications?
