Batten Lock Seam Panel
Metalbenz fabricates a traditional panel known as a ‘batten lock’ or ‘roll cap’ panel. This is a roof system with a wider ridge or bay and a metal cap. A metal panel with upstands each side is laid on plywood with a metal or wooden bay in between. A metal capping is then laid over the bay giving the roll cap system a robust appearance.
