Snap-Clad: The ADC Roofing Deep Dive

The PAC-CLAD Snap-Clad system is a 1.75-inch tall snap-lock standing seam panel, widely recognized as a leading architectural standing seam product. Its defining feature is the factory-applied continuous butyl sealant bead integrated into every seam, which provides an extra layer of protection against moisture intrusion. This detail is critical for long-term envelope integrity, especially in regions prone to heavy rainfall and wind-driven rain, such as North Texas. Available in 24 gauge steel, or 0.032/0.040 aluminum, Snap-Clad offers material flexibility to suit different structural requirements and performance expectations. The extensive palette of over 40 Kynar 500® / Hylar 5000® colors ensures architectural versatility and enduring aesthetic appeal. These premium PVDF finishes are engineered to resist chalking, fading, and the harsh UV radiation prevalent in DFW, ensuring the roof maintains its appearance for decades. Performance-wise, Snap-Clad carries robust certifications including UL 90 for wind uplift, FM 4471, and Miami-Dade NOA. These approvals underscore its capability to withstand demanding environmental conditions, including high winds typical of severe DFW storms. The 30-year non-prorated PVDF finish warranty provides a clear commitment to material quality and longevity, offering peace of mind to property owners. ADC Roofing's installation practices for PAC-CLAD Snap-Clad emphasize precise panel alignment and engagement of the snap-lock mechanism to fully leverage the integrated butyl sealant. Proper attention to flashing details and transitions is paramount to achieving a long-lasting, watertight system. Given DFW's climate, integration with effective attic ventilation is a standard part of our metal roofing solutions, ensuring optimal thermal performance and structural health.

Why Snap-Clad Fits DFW Roofs

With its UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating and factory-applied butyl sealant, PAC-CLAD Snap-Clad provides superior protection against DFW's severe hail and torrential rains. Its extensive Kynar color palette offers excellent options for HOA approval, and its robust certifications satisfy stringent insurance carrier requirements from companies like USAA or State Farm.

How ADC Installs Snap-Clad

ADC Roofing's certified crews meticulously install PAC-CLAD Snap-Clad, ensuring the factory-applied butyl sealant is optimally engaged for a watertight seal. We adhere strictly to PAC-CLAD specifications for panel fastening and flashing to maximize wind uplift resistance and overall system performance. Integrated attic ventilation is a key component of every ADC metal roof installation.
