Keeping a Plant Operational During Roof Retrofitting
Sometimes the decision to commit to installing a new roof is made for you.
The 25-year-old trapezoidal standing seam roof on the Metal Sales Manufacturing plant in Rogers, Minn., sustained hail damage during the summer of 2020. Initially, the plan was to tear-off the damaged metal roofing and replace it with a new metal roofing system. In an effort to avoid a stoppage in production, further discussion led Metal Sales to install Roof Hugger sub-purlins on the damaged roof and attach a new metal roofing system to those sub-purlins.
