Did you see any mesh/foam/expanded material at the edges to prevent insects from entering the ends of the rib flutes and making nests?
I'm imagine the galvalume look is best at hiding bird droppings and other staining as well.

I don't think there is any type of seal product used along the bottom edges, George.
You are probably thinking along the lines of those foam strips used when installing the corrugated fiberglass panels.
The panels are installed so that they extend about 1 inch past the edge of the existing shingles. I also think there is a new drip edge installed along the bottom edge of the roof before the Gavalume panels are installed.
I ran across another house getting this same roofing upgrade here on the island.
Same technique.
Really saves a lot of labor removing the old shingles.....
