Floating Valley - Part #WS-425

Floating valley means that the standing seam panels aren't pinned in place at the valley. This allows for expansion and contraction. If you have a floating valley, you will need a fixed connection at the other end of the standing seam panel.

This is the most popular valley detail that we supply

Valley trim is a raised section at the lowest point of the valley that's designed to keep water from moving up the opposite slope and penetrating the roof. Valley trim is installed prior to the installation of the metal roofing panels. The valley of a metal roof is an area created by two intersecting slopes.

Snow Retention Systems

When snow accumulations begin to melt, the result can be catastrophic as the blanket of snow avalanches off the roof dumping tons of snow onto anything in its path.

It can damage landscape, gutters, adjacent roofs, vehicles and cause injury or death to passers-by. All of S-5!’s snow retention systems dramatically reduce these risks associated with rooftop avalanches while maintaining the clean lines of the roof.
