Trap-Tee Recover

McElroy’s Trap-Tee standing seam system is a versatile panel that is equally well-suited for new construction, remove, and replace retrofit, as well as recover applications where the existing roof is left in place.

The Trap Tee's symmetrical panel design also delivers greater wind uplift capability and a quicker install process making it a highly effective yet cost-conscious workhorse.

This panel also boasts a 2 3/4" tall standing seam roof mechanically seamed to resolve the three major shortcomings of conventional trapezoidal standing seam roof systems.

For panel lengths over 40' site forming is available to eliminates end laps that tend to leak over time, oversized seams and special clips dramatically increase wind uplift capacity, and the symmetrical design allows for easy repair or alteration after the roof is installed. 

Our standard paint system for the Trap Tee system is Kynar 500® (PVDF), the industry's best coating for long-term protection against panel chalk and fade. For budget-conscious or low-sloped applications, this panel is also available in acrylic-coated Galvalume®.
