To eliminate the problem of standing water behind curbs above the skylights, Roofmasters installed transverse panels from the top of the skylight to the ridge. It should be noted the Northwest Distributors warehouse roof includes 36 skylights, a feature the owner wanted to keep. It also provided the owner with an added R-value of R-12, which will help reduce heating and cooling costs. Roofmasters installed 3-1/2 inches of batt insulation between the original roof and the new panels to eliminate the possibility of condensation forming between the two metal systems. The symmetrical standing seam system allows for the replacement of a single panel or only damaged panels the owner feels the need to replace, reducing his financial hit. Obviously, that is a much greater expense.”īizzell says not all insurance policies cover cosmetic damage sustained in weather events like hailstorms. If a panel is damaged with another type of standing seam system, you have to start on an end and remove all of the panels up to and including the damaged panel. It provides a great benefit to the building owner because if a panel is damaged, a single panel can be removed and replaced anywhere on the roof. “We have installed several re-covers with the 238T. “It really was a straightforward job,” Bizzell says. The 24-gauge panels are 24 inches wide with striations in PVDF Regal White. Roofmasters owns its own roll former that produces the 238T symmetrical standing seam panel. Panels for the 58,000-sqaure-foot re-cover were produced onsite and stacked on the roof.
