This clinic provides a hands-on demonstration of several common standing seam panel tie-in techniques, focusing on how multiple installation details connect in the field. Attendees will observe best-practice approaches for double-hip to ridge tie-ins, ridge-to-vented-ridge transitions, and two methods for end-capping hip and ridge conditions. Presenters will also be available to answer questions related to the demonstrated techniques as well as broader industry and installation topics.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify best-practice methods for joining common standing seam installation details.
