Metal Roofing, Custom Metals and Flashing

General Roofing Systems Canada supplies and installs metal roofing systems and custom metal flashings for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional clients through-out Western Canada.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing
A standing seam roof is constructed of interlocking panels running vertically from the top of the roof ridge to the eave. The interlocking seam ("standing seam") where two panels join together is raised above the roof’s flat surface, allowing water to run off without seeping between panels. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is increasing in popularity in the marketplace. It has unmatched durability and investment value.

Flat Lock Panel Roofing System
A flat lock panel system consists of interlocking panels utilizing specially designed joints concealing the fasteners and it has an integrated clip system. The system can be made of squares, rectangles or diamonds, and can be installed horizontally or vertically. In contrast to shingles, they have a similar look with hemmed edges (hemmed over on the top, under on the bottom) which interlock to form simple joints. The flat lock system is a reliable, esthetically pleasing option for any wall panel location, even when the building shape is geometrically complicated. Panels are available in pre-finished steel or aluminum, copper, zinc, etc.

Roof Flashings
Our custom fabricators are versatile and can handle a wide range of sheet metal applications from decorative copper cornice & ridges to designing and installing specialized sheet metal waterproofing components. We offer full service metal and flashing for any roofing and custom metal fabrication needs. We can make just about any custom roof flashing available in many different colors.

Custom Metals
We can work with architectural and ornamental metal in most any commercial application. Architectural metals offer a large range of possibilities from architectural wall panels to ornamental facades. Metal roofing has been around for centuries, but recent technological advances have given new versatility to the trade.

Architectural Metal Panel Systems
Architectural Metal Panel Systems encompass a wide variety of panel profiles and systems. Whether your needs include a manufactured panel system or a custom built system we have the expertise and ability to assist you with any project.

We have the ability to produce our own architectural metal roof and wall panels for faster installation and complete customization to suit your needs.

Aluminum Composite Systems
Aluminum Composite Wall Panel Systems are widely used today. A panelling system can be installed over numerous substrates; it utilizes a route-and-return panel style, it is available in 3mm, 4mm or 6mm, and has two main options for esthetic appearances, a dry-set or wet-set system. A dry-set system consists of an aluminum extrusion clip system with a matching color strip recessed in the panel joints. A wet-set system consists of an aluminum clip system with sealant set inside the panel joints.

Aluminum Plate Systems
The Aluminum Plate Wall Panel Systems are very similar to aluminum composite systems in their style and appearance. They can be installed over numerous substrates, it utilizes a route-and-return panel style, is available typically in 1/8” (.125) thick material, and typically installed in a wet-set system.

Factory Foamed Panel System
Field-assembled wall and roof panels offer practical, weather-tight and moisture-resistant solutions. Factory-formed architectural and industrial wall and roof panels combine cosmetic beauty and strength, while providing excellent R-value.

Zinc and Copper Systems
The use of Zinc and Copper as roofing and wall material is historic and dates back centuries. You can expect historic wear from one of these classic materials. Both Zinc and Copper materials are strong and corrosive resistant.

Cor-Ten metal is one of the latest roofing and wall panel product trends. Its unique look and natural oxidizing finish provides beautiful color and texture, with minimal care required. It does not have a painted finish that will fade or scratch over time. Unlike older exposed steel applications, Cor-Ten achieves more gorgeous deep dark rust much quicker and is constructed from heavy gauge steel decreasing the likelihood of rusting through.

Column Covers
We fabricate metal column covers used to complement commercial building design. We supply covers that accentuate the exterior or interior of buildings of any shape or size. Column covers are constructed from either aluminum composite or aluminum plate material. Horizontal and vertical joints have a number of esthetic appearance options.

Louvers
The new range of louvers have been designed to provide simple and economical solutions to ventilation problems while offering excellent water rejection characteristics for more exposed/higher requirement areas.

Screen Walls
Screen walls are most commonly installed to hide unsightly equipment on large commercial buildings. The additional structural loading on rooftops is minimal and most screen walls are set back from the edge of the roof so that the base is not visible from grade.

Sun Shades
Sun Screens are economical, reduce energy consumption, and can enhance building appearance. The aluminum construction is durable and rust resistant; and the angled blades block direct sunlight & allow rain and snow to pass through easily.
