Standing seam metal panel roof recover

A method of installing a metal panel standing seam recover over an existing metal panel standing seam roof having a pitch, wherein:

• (a) said existing metal panel standing seam roof comprises:
• i) a support frame which includes an array of spaced purlins running across the pitch of said existing roof,
• ii) a plurality of panel clips attached to said purlins, and
• iii) a cover attached to said panel clips, said cover comprising a plurality of elongated metal panels having upstanding sides, said sides defining shoulders and lateral edges, said cover panels being interconnected along adjacent said lateral edges by sidelaps formed on said panel clips, said cover sidelaps extending vertically from said shoulders on adjacent said cover panels;
• (b) wherein said method comprises:
• i) providing an array of recover panel clips on said existing roof by attaching said recover panel clips to a said vertically extending cover sidelap in said existing roof or to one of said shoulders adjacent said cover sidelap;
• and
• ii) attaching elongated metal recover panels to said recover panel clips by forming sidelaps on said recover panel clips.

A metal panel standing seam roof recover system installed over an existing metal panel standing seam roof having a pitch,

• (a) said existing metal panel standing seam roof comprising:
• i) a support frame which includes an array of spaced purlins running across the pitch of said existing roof,
• ii) a plurality of panel clips attached to said purlins and arranged in linear arrays running along the pitch of said existing roof, and
• iii) a cover attached to said panel clips, said cover comprising a plurality of elongated metal cover panels having upstanding sides with a trough therebetween, said cover panels being interconnected along adjacent said upstanding sides by sidelaps formed on said panel clips, said cover sidelaps extending along the pitch of said existing roof and extending vertically from said cover panels;
• and
• (b) said metal panel standing seam roof recover system comprising:
• i) a plurality of recover panel clips mounted to said existing roof and arranged in linear arrays running along the pitch of said existing roof, said recover panel clips being mounted to said cover panels by a clip fastener extending through a said cover sidelap;
• and
• ii) a recover attached to said recover panel clips, said recover comprising a plurality of elongated metal recover panels having upstanding sides defining lateral edges with a trough therebetween, said recover panels being interconnected along adjacent said lateral edges by sidelaps formed on said recover panel clips.
