For architects, builders, and roofing contractors across Philadelphia, selecting the right roofing system is key to achieving long-term performance, aesthetic appeal, and weather resistance. When it comes to architectural sheetmetal, few options deliver the value, durability, and versatility of metal roofing panels. Compared to traditional asphalt shingles that can warp, fade, or deteriorate over time, sheetmetal roofing offers a refined, low-maintenance solution built for strength and style.
Built for Philadelphia’s Four Seasons
Philadelphia’s weather is anything but predictable—sweltering summers, heavy rains, and freezing winters can quickly wear down conventional roofing materials. Architectural sheetmetal panels, however, are engineered to withstand these extreme conditions year after year. Their interlocking seams and durable coatings protect buildings from moisture intrusion, high winds, and temperature swings, making them a smart investment for both residential and commercial projects.
The DMC 150NS: Sleek Design Meets Superior Performance
At Helix Metalforming, we’re proud to feature the DMC 150NS profile—a standout in modern architectural sheetmetal systems.
Our DMC 150NS profile offers unlimited design potential with its sleek, crisp appearance and distinctive shadow lines that add depth and dimension to any structure. Eliminating the need for metal roof clips, the concealed 1½″ self-locking Snap Lock system creates a powerfully protective seal while reducing installation time.
Versatile and refined, this easy-to-install metal roof delivers superior beauty, durability, and strength while showcasing architectural details that elevate every project.
Available Widths: 12″ – 19″*
Optimal Panel Widths: 15″, 19″
*Drexel Metals design pressures, wind uplifts, and test reports are specific to deck attachments, material gauges, clip spacing, and panel widths. Full specifications available at www.drexelmetals.com.
Substrates Available:
• Painted Galvalume® – 24 ga
• Drexlume™ – 24 ga and 26 ga
• Aluminum – .032″
This combination of advanced engineering and precision design makes the DMC 150NS ideal for Philadelphia’s demanding climate—delivering both performance and architectural elegance.
Color That Lasts
Unlike traditional materials prone to fading and peeling, Helix Metalforming panels use a premium PVDF paint system that ensures long-term color retention and gloss stability. With more than 40 standard color options—from bold architectural tones to subtle metallic finishes—these panels enhance both classic and contemporary designs, preserving curb appeal for decades.
Form, Function, and Flexibility
Helix’s standing seam and snap-lock roofing panels give designers the freedom to create distinctive architectural expressions without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re specifying a high-end residential home in Chestnut Hill or a large-scale commercial build downtown, our roofing panel systems adapt beautifully to your design intent while maintaining watertight, energy-efficient protection.
