Types of Metal Roofs: Aluminum

Aluminum is an affordable and extremely lightweight roofing material. It can be used either painted or unpainted; regardless, it will need a finish. Aluminum has a high coefficient of expansion, causing some thermal movement. Like steel, aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio. In addition, this material has excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for coastal environments.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs

Standing SeamStanding-seam metal roofs have been popular for centuries. The term standing seam is used to describe any type of joinery that uses an upturned portion of the metal to connect adjacent metal sections. The joinery raises the seam above the drainage plane of the panel, creating its distinctive vertical lines. In the past, the original standing-seam roof involved only the 90-deg. adjacent metal upstands that could be single or double folded at the top. Today standing-seam joints are held together with a concealed clip, or cleat, at the seam. The clip involves a male and a female upstand that joins with or without seaming. Other versions of standing seam incorporate a nailing flange to the roof, which is then covered up by the next panel as it is snapped into place.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Roof/Wall Accessosries

Roof/Wall Accessosries Ceco has translucent panels for wall or roof use to match most panel configurations. These panels allow you to put natural light where you need it.The roof panels are manufactured from a polyester resin reinforced with a mesh of woven fiberglass cloth and chopped glass fibers. The wall panels are made similarly but without the woven fiberglass reinforcing.Translucent panel installation is very similar to steel panel installation since they corrugate with adjacent steel panels at both end laps and side laps. Also, translucent roof panels are available with the CLP and CXP standing seam roof.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Solarguard Commerical:

Solarguard Commercial: Reflective Insualtion.What is Solarguard?Solarguard high performance reflective insulation consists of a 1/4" fiberglass core bonded to either two exterior layers of 99% pure aluminum or one layer of aluminum and one layer of durable white scrim-reinforced facing material.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Solarguard: Residential

Solarguard Residential:Improve Home Comfort with Solarguard.Nearly all homes have problems areas where comfort is compromised. Typical problem areas include rooms that are adjacent to unconditioned space such as an attic or rooms over crawl spaces or basements. Use Solarguard to correct these problems by blocking heat gain or loss.Solarguard is perfect for many residential applications. Use Solarguard alone when space constraints don't leave enough room effectively insulate with fiberglass, or in conjuction with other insulation products for maximum energy efficiency. Soalrguard is so versatile you'll want to keep it handy for use on every job.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Solarguard Agricultural:

Solarguard Agricultural:Solarguard reduces heat gain and improves confort. Solarguard can increase animal productivity and reduce animal mortality. Protect your investment, install Solarguard.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Benefits of Solarguard.

Benefits of Solarguard.Benefits of Solarguard:Reduces installation cost:Cost less to ship and store:Not effected by compression between purlins and roof sheets in metal and post frame buildings:Bird and rodent resistant:Ideal for residential applications both alone or in conjuction with fiberglass, for optimum total thermal performance:Fits nicely between purlins and roof sheets:No itchy fibers! Solarguard's high-performance fiberglasss core is encapsualted:Addresses all three modes of heat loss/gain: Radiation, Conduction and Convention:Superior Flame/Smoke ratings:Perfect for dozens of uses in residential construction:http://www.ultraseam.com/

Why Solarguard?

Why You Should Use Solarguard.According to research done at Pennsylvania State University, approximately 75% of total heat transfer in a building occurs through radiation. The foil in Solarguard can reflect 97% of radian energy striking it.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Shingles

Shingles and Tiles Metal roofs can also be made to resemble wood shakes, clay tiles, shingles, and Victorian metal tiles. To create the desired look, aluminum or coated steel can be pressed or formed into individual realistic shapes. Individual shingles or tiles work best when roofing a home that has curving roof planes or intricate roofs.Conversely, sheets of aluminum or pre-coated steel, approximately 4 feet in length, are pressed into modular panels through a stamping process creating the look of individual shingles, shakes, slates, or tiles. The benefit of this type of roofing is that it is designed for quick installation; installers only have to work with one larger piece as opposed to numerous smaller pieces. Available through regular distribution channels, modular panels are readily obtainable.In addition, metal sheets can also go through both processes -- roll forming and stamping. These panels receive roll-form elements, but also are stamped into consistent patterns on one large sheet.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel is the most common metal choice for a metal roof. The material is affordable and offers excellent structural capabilities. Plain steel is coated with a layer of hot-dipped commercially pure zinc to provide corrosion protection. Zinc is considered a sacrificial element and works well as a metallic coating. When the metal is cut or damaged, the zinc coating will protect that area from corrosion. Galvanized steel is warranted against corrosion for up to 20 years and offers excellent barrier protection. Galvanized metallic coatings are designated G-30, G-60, and G-90. This means that the weight of zinc on the steel is 30.-, 60.-, or 90-oz. per square foot, counting both the top and the bottom side of the sheet. The Metal Roofing Alliance recommends the use of only G-90 for roofing applications.Galvalume steel combines the metallic coatings of both aluminum and zinc. This combination joins the healing properties of zinc with the superior barrier protection of aluminum. Galvalume steel offers superior weathering properties and is used in various application weights, the most common being AZ-55. http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Copper

Copper has a life expectancy measured in centuries; however, the material is very costly. Many will recognize copper roofs for the characteristic patina-green color that occurs when the copper oxidizes. Copper retains its original color when an acrylic layer is applied. Strong and very resistant to corrosion, copper is also easy to roll into sheets, but installation may be intricate.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Zinc

Zinc offers exceptional corrosion resistance. Like copper, this material also changes color as it oxidizes, turning a bluish-white. Zinc is malleable, enabling the creation of many attractive individual shingles and tiles.http://www.ultraseam.com/
