Perkins explains the difference: snap-lock panels simply snap together, while mechanically seamed panels are bent and crimped together for wind performance. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0RItqDZ_GLI 57 2026-06-26T06:56:05-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/cheaper-metal-roof-steel-vs-aluminum-near-salt-water/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/NUSn72Bbc1Q.webp Steel vs Aluminum Roofs Near Salt Water Perkins describes losing a waterfront project to a quote about $10,000 lower that used steel panels instead of aluminum.
