On-Site Rollforming

On-site rollforming is the process of using a portable, computerized rollforming machine to create custom metal roofing panels on the job. Fortified Products brings its patented CNC roll forming system to job sites across Vero Beach and the Treasure Coast, forming panels to the exact lengths your project needs right where they’ll be installed — no shipping, no repeated handling and no waiting on long panels to arrive.

Material Quality Check

Proper handling and storage, along with appropriate equipment, are critical to ensuring that building materials are delivered on-site safely and securely.

On-Site Rollforming

A coil of metal, such as steel, goes through several rollers that form it into custom panels. These panels are designed to be molded into any shape.

The Advantages

In many cases, buying and shipping prefabricated panels isn’t feasible, so on-site rollforming machines are beneficial. Rollforming on-site eliminates the need for shipping the panels altogether and allows the panels to be created directly at the installation site, which can drastically reduce shipping costs and packing costs, especially if the order is large and oversized. 

Time is of the essence when replacing a roof or putting a roof on a new structure. Onsite rollforming will eliminate shipping time and unpacking time. Rollforming machines can press a panel in minutes and after a panel is made, it can be installed immediately. Onsite rollforming is forgiving to last-minute changes too.

The panels are rolled onsite, reducing the number of seams on a standing seam roof. Fewer seams make for a more weather-tight roof, decreasing the chance of water damage and leaks. The ability to make longer panels using onsite roll forming also reduces seams on the roof.

Onsite roll-forming is more eco-friendly than prefabricated panels. Onsite rollforming allows for more precision and reduces wasted materials.

On-site rollforming minimizes the risk of your metal panels being damaged during the shipping process. When transporting panels, they can easily become scratched, dented or bent, especially when loading, unloading and handling them repeatedly. This can lead to additional costs and delays in the installation process. 

Onsite rollforming can be used for both residential and commercial projects, especially for projects that require longer metal panels.

FAQ

On-Site Roll Forming FAQs

On-site roll forming uses a portable, computerized roll former to turn a coil of metal into finished roof panels at the job site. Panels are made to length where they’ll be installed instead of being manufactured elsewhere and shipped.

Rolling on-site eliminates shipping and packing costs, saves time, reduces the risk of panels being scratched or dented in transit and allows longer panels — which means fewer seams and a more weather-tight roof.

Both. On-site roll forming works for residential and commercial roofs, and it’s especially useful for projects that need long metal panels.

Yes. Panels can go on the roof as soon as they’re formed, or your installer can store them on-site for later.
