6.3 – Ventilated façade cladding systems – 2. Standing seam cladding 370 6.3. 2. STANDING SEAM CLADDING In standing seam cladding, the choice of the orientation of the longitudinal joints (vertical, horizontal, oblique) depends on the aesthetic result to be obtained. In fact, standing seam cladding allows the cladding of complex surfaces and guarantees wide design flexibility thanks to the combination of variable elements such as the length and width of the sheets, and, therefore, the center distance between the longitudinal joints and the transversal joints (aligned or staggered). Generally, in façade cladding, an angular standing seam joint is used; the angular standing seam is a variant of double standing seams in which the last closure of the joint is avoided. The angular standing seamhas a greater aesthetic impact than double seaming and ensures optimal compensation for thermal expansion.
