Tucked away among rows of Victorian semi-detached homes in this secluded corner of South East London, this modern urban property brings a sleek, architectural edge to its traditional surroundings, topped off, quite literally, with our standing seam roof sheets: a low-maintenance roofing solution that combines minimalist style with outstanding weather resistance.
Viewed from above, the roof’s unique, asymmetric shape immediately stands out. With multiple angles and pitches, this project presented a complex challenge for installers, Knight Innovation Homes Ltd. However, thanks to our extensive range of standing seam flashings, including ridge flashings, corner barge flashings, verge flashing backer plates, and more, the result is a contemporary, high-performing roof system that not only functions beautifully but also delivers impressive visual impact.
Our interlocking standing seam roof sheets are manufactured from 0.7mm thick SSAB Nordic quality steel, coated with an eco-friendly GreenCoat® Pural BT coating. This durable combination makes them ideal for both domestic and commercial projects.
All our standing seam products are made from 100% recyclable materials, are BES 6001 certified, and rated A+ by the BRE Green Guide, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Look closely at the images above, and you’ll see the two 1.5mm ribs running along each sheet. These provide added structural strength and rigidity. For a smoother, cleaner finish, rib-free sheets are also available and can be ordered here.
At the front of the property, the roof perfectly demonstrates the versatility of our standing seam system. Even with varying pitches, the sheets have been installed at an angle to effectively channel water into a central valley.
The same straight-cut sheets have also been used to clad the edge of a small balcony, tying the dark roof into the overall colour scheme and preventing it from looking too top-heavy against the light brickwork. Though compact, the balcony adds personality to the façade, with the homeowner lining the wall with vibrant, tufted perennials to introduce colour and a natural touch.
Complementing the roof’s sleek design, the rest of the property features cohesive, modern details, from the black composite door and window frames to the garden fencing and decorative metal screen. These darker tones are offset by the light grey driveway paving and beige brickwork, creating a balanced and well-composed exterior. While our nordic night black finish is the most popular finish in our standing seam range, we also offer silver fir green, tile red, and slate grey options.
