Putting The 'System' In Metal Roof Systems

摘要

When a metal roof is being considered for a project, most design professionals look for a reputable manufacturer that offers a standing seam metal roof that meets their aesthetic and performance criteria. Typically, a weathertightness warranty, paint finish warranty and various load and performance requirements are specified. That done, the design professional typically feels that the roof system requirements have been covered.However, as metal roofs are being use din increasingly more complicated designs, the roof panels and related accessories used to attach the roof to the substructure are only part of the total roof "system". Roof curbs, pipe penetrations, crickets, snow retention devices, lightning protection equipment and other appurtenances, when installed on a standing seam roof, effectively become a part of the roof system.
