Striations, Clip Relief, and Ribs: How Nashville Homeowners Calm Oil‑Canning on Standing‑Seam Roofs
Oil‑canning is the ripple or waviness you sometimes notice across the wide flats of a metal roof when the sun hits just right. It’s not a leak or a structural failure—most panels will show a little movement over time—but on a Nashville home that prides itself on clean lines, small ripples can distract from an otherwise beautiful standing‑seam roof. The good news is that modern panels offer subtle “structure” options that quiet those reflections without changing the profile you chose. In Middle Tennessee, where long summer heat cycles and cool winter mornings push panels to expand and contract, these details make a visible difference.
