Overview

Seam 25 carries the same visual language as VANKKA Classic — a clean vertical seam, no fastener heads on the face — but the joint is engineered to snap closed under hand pressure rather than requiring a powered seaming machine on the roof.

That changes the economics of a project. On simple rectangular planes with good access, a crew can lay and close Seam 25 substantially faster than a mechanically seamed roof, which brings concealed-fix quality into budgets that would otherwise default to an exposed-fastener profile.

The trade-off is pitch: a snap-lock seam is not a mechanically closed one, and there is a lower limit below which we will specify Classic instead. Our technical team will tell you which side of that line your roof falls on before you order.

Applications

  • Residential new build
  • Re-roofing over existing structures
  • Light commercial
  • Extensions and outbuildings
01

No seaming machine

The seam engages by hand, removing plant hire and the access it needs from the program.

02

Concealed clip fixing

Clips are covered by the following pan — the finished surface is free of fasteners.

03

Faster laying rate

Designed for straightforward planes where speed of close-in matters more than minimum pitch.
