BEMO Standing Seam Roof

A Modern, Flexible, and Sustainable Solution for Any Building Geometry

Few roofing systems can meet as many different requirements as a multi-skin metal roof system with standing seam profiles. Whether you’re working on a new construction or a renovation, BEMO’s standing seam roof meets the high demands of modern architecture.

The key to the standing seam roof lies in its innovative design.  The profiles are self-supporting and are installed without penetrating the surface. Thanks to the variable profile lengths of the standing seam covering, overlaps are eliminated, and permanently welded connections provide continuous sealing. The BEMO system allows for flexible adaptation to virtually any building shape.

We offer a wide choice of standing seam roof structures, always designed to meet the requirements of the building. Very good thermal and sound transmission values can be achieved.

Standing Seam Roof for Highest Structural Demands

High load-bearing capacity and excellent static values characterize the BEMO standing seam roof

If you’re seeking a roof that not only stands out visually but also meets the highest structural standards, the BEMO standing seam roof is the ideal solution. Our standing seam profiles combine exceptional load-bearing capacity with superior static properties, offering maximum security in metal roofing. This makes them perfect for large, shallow-pitched roofs and innovative custom shapes.

Thanks to BEMO’s specialized profiles, adjustment to nearly any roof shape and pitch is possible without penetrating the roof structure. The profiles are installed by simply folding them onto specialized standing seam halters, resulting in a weatherproof and aesthetically pleasing solution. Whether you are planning a monopitch roof for a small house or a complex roofing structure for a large industrial building, the flexible design of the standing seam roof allows for unlimited creativity. The visual design options for standing seam roofs, including the profile shape, metal, surface finish, and color selection, are virtually limitless.

Stehfalzprofil mit hoher Tragfähigkeit und flexibler Anpassung an jede Dachform

The three proven profile variants can be selected as standing seam roofing for all materials:

N 50 – with 50 mm seam height and variable profile widths. This profile has a delicate and aesthetic appearance and is often used for smaller roof areas such as mono-pitch roofs and residential buildings, as well as in industrial roofing without high snow loads.

N50 Stehfalzprofil, filigran für kleine Dächer und Pultdächer ohne hohe Schneelast

N 65 – with 65 mm seam height and variable profile widths. This profile is ideal for flat sloping roofs due to the high seam. It is further distinguished by its very good load-bearing capacity and therefore good static values.

N65 Stehfalzprofil, hohe Steghöhe für flach geneigte Dächer und hohe Tragfähigkeit

VF 65 – with 65 mm seam height and variable profile widths. When used on rigid insulation and timber boarding, the profile covers the entire surface. A special moulding accommodates the geometry of the bracket foot without imprinting.

BEMO-MONRO® – A System for Special Standing Seam Roofs

For unique building shapes, flexible and precise

The patented BEMO-MONRO® metal roof system stands for flexibility and adaptability of standing seam roofs to nearly any construction form. Each profile of a free-form object is often a one-of-a-kind piece. Using precise 3D measurement data, the metal sheets are formed with millimeter accuracy for the designated space on the building.

For the standing seam roof covering, the MONRO® system is typically used in combination with a three-dimensional adjustable metal roof substructure. This allows any irregularities in the supporting structure to be easily and quickly compensated for with the metal roof construction for the standing seam roof. BEMO’s 3D planning prepares the standing seam system ready for assembly – usually based on a 3D scan of the supporting structure.

For larger circular and conical buildings, special conical profiles are ideal . With a minimum width of 100 mm and a maximum coverage width of 800 mm, nearly any roofing requirement can be met. The standing seam sheets are precisely shaped in one step, eliminating the need for complicated cutting on site and making the standing seam system easier to use.

All BEMO special profiles can also be supplied in a curved form and in all materials – including sustainable options.

A metal roof curved to the smallest radii for flowing building forms

Precise Fit with Maximum Functionality and Safety with BEMO Metal Roofing Systems

A roof that is not only functional but also allows for impressive, flowing building shapes – this is no problem for BEMO. Our custom-fit and curved standing seam profiles are formed in a special production step, often directly on-site, into their final shape. This not only optimizes freight costs but also ensures a perfect fit for your construction project.

The curvature can be concave, convex, or concave-convex – standing seam profiles can be curved to even the smallest radii. Depending on the selected material and profile, we achieve minimum radii of less than 800 mm.

All BEMO standing seam profiles are suitable for subsequent curving without compromising functionality. To ensure precise and tolerance-adjusting assembly, we recommend using BEMO substructure systems like BEMO-DOME or BEMO-FLEX. A 3D scan of the building’s existing structure is also recommended for the standing seam roof, as well as utilizing BEMO’s 3D execution planning.

FAQs

Can the BEMO standing seam roof be combined with a PV system?
Yes, the BEMO standing seam roof is perfectly suited for photovoltaic (PV) systems. PV modules are mounted on special rails that attach directly to the standing seams—without penetrating the metal surface. This ensures a 100% waterproof system, maintains structural integrity, and eliminates the risk of leaks.
What is the minimum roof pitch for standing seam systems, and what are the available lengths?
The BEMO standing seam system is certified and approved for use from a roof pitch of >1.5°. Thanks to innovative manufacturing techniques, seamless, extra-long panels can be produced—eliminating transverse joints for enhanced durability and watertightness.

For transport, the maximum panel length is approximately 37.5 meters. However, on-site or edge-of-roof production allows for even longer panels, ensuring a seamless and efficient installation.

How is a standing seam roof installed?
The installation starts with special clips, available in different heights and lengths, depending on the substructure—whether wood decking, load-bearing insulation, or highly insulated systems. After precise positioning and fastening with screws, the standing seam panels are placed, clicked together, and seamed for a secure fit.
On which substrates can the standing seam system be installed?
The BEMO standing seam system can be installed on almost any substrate, including wood, concrete, trapezoidal sheets, or hybrid structures like timber framing. A structural analysis should be performed beforehand to verify load capacity and account for additional loads, such as PV systems.
How energy-efficient is a standing seam roof?
Standing seam roofs are highly energy-efficient, as they can be combined with premium insulation materials. They are also ideal for integrating photovoltaic systems, helping to harness renewable energy and reduce overall energy consumption.
Can a standing seam roof be retrofitted onto existing buildings?
Yes, standing seam roofs are suitable for both new builds and renovations. Due to their lightweight design and flexible installation, they can be seamlessly adapted to existing structures. A detailed planning and structural assessment ensures a perfect fit.
Is a BEMO roof suitable for lightning protection?
Yes, BEMO metal roofs can be integrated into lightning protection systems in compliance with regulations. They meet all safety standards for metal roofing and can be incorporated into building protection concepts.
Can hail damage a BEMO roof?
Roofs with a Stucco surface provide exceptional hail resistance. While extremely large hailstones can potentially cause damage—like with any roofing material.
