Why Use a Standing Seam Opener?

Standing seam openers are simple yet extremely effective tools for opening single or double standing seams. They allow quick and precise separation of sheet metal without causing damage. After completing the work, the seam can be closed again, ensuring long-lasting and aesthetic roof finishes.
