Standing Seam for Walls For facades, we recommend single lock standing seams primarily for issues concerning shadow pattern and seam straightness. Double lock standing seams may be subject to waviness due to the inherent seaming process which may waiver along the seam length. For the same reason we recommend 0.8mm or 0.032" thick zinc. Cladding walls in this system is a very traditional technique. The Single Lock (also known as Angle Lock) gives the cladding a taut and regular look. VM ZINC® has a theoretical thermal expansion coefficient of 1/4"/10ft over a 212ºF temperature change (2.2 mm/mm for 100ºC change). Correct management of expansion and contraction coefficient of the material depends on the proper choice of the clips (fixed and sliding) and their correct positioning, as well as the maximum lengths of the sheets and long strips. An optimal panel length is 12' (3.7m) when considering the effects of expansion and contraction. While panels of greater length are possible, one must consider panel aesthetics and handling difficult when specifying a longer panel length.

Cassettes If not used as an Engineered Architectural Rainscreen, cassettes are a relatively simple angular shaped wall panel. Cassettes can have visible or concealed fasteners; with visible fasteners they give the wall a more industrial look. Cassettes are a break-formed product, flatness of the panel is usually an issue, which is why Umicore request to discuss sizes and metal thickness as early in design as possible.
