The outstanding performance of standing seam systems can be compromised where joints, penetrations or complex details are required. The only way to ensure complete weathering of such details is by on-site welding.

RigiSystems, with almost 30 years experience in welding light gauge materials, is able to offer its skilled welding engineers to carry out this process on-site.

TIG process uses a tungsten electrode with the arc shielded by argon-rich gas. It is suitable for steel, aluminium alloys, stainless steel and copper. It produces an extremely smooth welded bead and does generally not require and subsequent finishing process.

MIG process uses a mechanically fed consumable electrode of the same metal as that being welded. It is suitable for the same range of metals as TIG, though it is generally used on thicker materials. Somewhat quicker than TIG, the resulting bead may need subsequent dressing.

Metal arc welding is used predominantly on steel.
It employs a consumable electrode and oxidation is prevented by a coating from the electrode, which gives off large quantities of gas which envelope and shield the arc.
