1.5” Snaplock w/ Clips vs. 1.75” Snaplock w/ Clips 

Written By Alsteel Roofing Metal Roofing Supply

Engineered for Speed, Designed for Strength 

Both Snaplock systems feature concealed clips that allow natural thermal expansion — no seaming tools needed. But seam height can influence both performance and appearance. 

1.5” Snaplock 

Quick to install and ideal for residential or architectural roofing, it delivers a clean, sleek finish with strong wind resistance on typical home slopes. 

 1.75” Snaplock 

Designed for coastal and commercial environments, this higher seam boosts water tightness, wind uplift strength, and supports longer panel runs without distortion. 

Pro Insight: 

Select 1.5” for residential projects prioritizing speed and elegance. Choose 1.75” for maximum performance and structural reliability.
