Hurricanes devastated properties across the U.S. Virgin Islands a few years ago, including on St. Thomas where the former Bluebeard Beach Club resort lost the roofs on all seven of its guestroom buildings, which also all suffered significant moisture damage.
Inherent in their makeup, metal roofs are sustainable, durable, and last about three times longer than other roofs. They help to trap less heat and cool a building down quicker.
The Metal Roofing Alliance announced that Carlisle Architectural Metals, along with its divisions Drexel Metals and Petersen Aluminum, have expanded their commitment to the MRA as a national manufacturing member.
While installation errors lead to most metal roofing issues, panel side laps, incorrect panel profile selection, and fastener locations can be problematic for exposed fastener panel installations on lower roof slopes.
S-5! was awarded the 2022 Gold Level Industry Advocate Award for outstanding service, participation and support of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) and the 2022 MBMA Innovation Project Award.
As S-5! wraps up its 30th anniversary year, the global leader of metal roof attachments announces the addition of 14 new patents issued in 2022 alone, bringing the total number of patent issuances to 112 since the company’s first product was patented in 1991.
