What is an NRM system and how is it vital to quality metal roof installation?

At Nu-Ray our big deal is the manufacturing and supplying of Metal panels. With all metal roofing it is crucial to install an NRM (Non-Removable Mechanically Seamed) system. We've got the all the info on NRM systems and why they are important to metal roofing.

What is an NRM system in metal roofing?

An NRM system uses mechanical seaming to connect metal panels. Mechanical seaming is the process of folding and crimping the edges of the metal panels together creating a water-tight seal that prevents water from penetrating the roof.

Why is an NRM system important in metal roofing?

  • Provides superior weather resistance: An NRM system is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, high winds, and snow. The mechanical seaming provides a water-tight seal that prevents water from penetrating the roof, protecting the building from water damage.
  • Increases the durability and longevity of the roof: The mechanical seaming of an NRM system creates a permanent bond between the metal panels, making the roof more resistant to damage from wind, hail, and other environmental factors. This increases the lifespan of the roof and reduces the need for repairs and replacements.
  • Improves energy efficiency: An NRM system can be installed with insulation, which helps to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. This can result in significant energy savings over the life of the roof.
  • Provides a sleek, attractive appearance: The mechanical seaming of an NRM system creates a seamless appearance that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building. This is particularly important in commercial buildings, where the appearance of the roof can affect the perceived value of the property.
  • Requires less maintenance: An NRM system requires less maintenance than other types of metal roofing systems, as the mechanical seaming provides a secure, long-lasting bond that does not require regular inspections or repairs.

The Nu-Ray NRM system is a crucial component of a metal roofing system. It provides superior weather resistance, increases the durability and longevity of the roof, improves energy efficiency, provides a sleek, attractive appearance, and requires less maintenance. For those considering metal roofing, choosing an NRM system can be a wise investment in the long-term health and functionality of the building.
