Standing Seam Roof Curb

Standing Seam Roof Curb

The R&S Standing Seam Roof Curb fits any trapezoidal or vertical standing seam roof panel. Curb size and design meet any skylight or rooftop equipment requirements. Equipment curbs have a level top for proper RTU operation. Seam-to-seam (R&S Seam Clip) side flanges come standard for a complete weather-tight seal. Economical flat flange models are also available. 1″ foil-faced rigid insulation comes standard, with optional high R-Value models as needed. Roof curbs may also include an interior liner, duct supports, a damper shelf or custom finish that matches the roof color. The R&S Metal Building Roof Curb installs under the roof panel on the up-slope and over the roof panel on the down-slope, which results in a superior watershed condition. In addition, a 20-Year Warranty comes standard on all aluminum curbs. All curb kits may be ordered with subframe, mastic, sealants and fasteners for a complete install. We offer aluminum or steel construction. MBCI Weather-tightness Warranty approved.
