I like this type of roof, not familiar with all mfr's of same, but you do want to be cognizant of field cutting these materials whereas the finish will be removed and exposed or vulnerable. The mfr should provide you the information on fabrication and installation, outlining what is acceptable and what is not.
I can relate some experience with standing seam roof systems;
10 years ago I was involved in a real large NYS project, one had 25 buildings the other had 10, all used FABRAL standing seam roofing, and they had to adhere to shop fabricated materials from approved shop drawings, the design and construction division of nys office of general services had identified failures of previous standing seam roof installations that were directly attributed to field modifications and fabrication, which violated the finish on the material, causing it to fail prematurely. They had a lot of defective roof systems out there, and re-evaluated their designs based on the problems. They also used W.R. Grace Ice and Water shield under all of the standing seam roofs, not just hips and valleys, the entire roof, it's self healing if a nail or fastener goes through it, still seals back up, all the fabral panels were fabricated to fit at the factory, not in the field. Excellent system, we learned a lot about this kind of roof, this state agency was also run by some top notch people, contrary to what most, ( including myself ) would expect, they did their jobs and there were some very admirable people involved in the design of the buildings.
