One more roofing question...

[Johanna Bruns]

JD,

Is there more than one kind of hidden fastener roofing? In web-surfing for DIY material, the only one that seems to admit to being hidden fastener is the 5-V crimp stuff, which also requires the crimping tool. If there's a reason why you can't go into detail on a public forum (been there), I'm going to update my profile so the discussion can go offline.

And I've become another convert to the value of Mark's Book.
Thanks so much,
Johanna

5-V is not hidden fastener. The only ones I'm aware of is of the standing seam or snaplock variety. Each manufacturer has it's own custom profiles, but there are some industry typicals.

Here's MBCI's list of profiles with their fastener type:

Thanks much for the tip!
