Ribs make grade on school roof

摘要

Approximately 30,000 square feet of Elk Grove Village, III.-based Petersen Aluminum Corp.'s PAC-CLAD metal roof panels was installed on Beverly Farms Elementary School in Potomac, Md. Joshua Hill, project architect at Bethesda, Md.-based Muse Architects, says it was important to use a gabled roof, brick layering and simulated double-hung windows to help provide scale, "The metal standing seam application was certainly a key component versus a large, blank roof with asphalt shingles," he says. "The ribs of the metal roof give it nice texture." The school's roof is clad with 27,200 square feet of Petersen Aluminum's 0.04 Snap-Clad Panels in Slate Gray and 2,400 square feet of 0.04 Flush Panels in Slate Gray.
