| Every part of the exclusive MR-24®
roof system uses only the highest quality materials to assure you of a weathertight
standing seam roof that acts like a single steel membrane protecting your building. A. Roof panels are permanently seamed together with a
full 360° "Pittsburgh" double lock seam to keep moisture out.
B. The seaming process uses a
heavy-duty, four-stand, electric, portable roll forming machine called the Roof Funner®
C. Roof clips securely attach the roof
panels to the supporting structurals by stainless steel tabs |
which are roll formed into the
panel seam. Stainless steel tabs are more than 50% stronger than other galvanized
standing seam tabs.
The clip design allows for 1¼ inches of movement in either
direction to accommodate expansion and contraction forces. This permits building up
to 500 feet wide without the need for special expansion joints.D. Every connection is precisely prepunched at
the factory - purlins, eaves, end splices, ridges and flashings - to ensure proper
alignment when the roof is erected. Proper alignment is critical to allow the
finished, seamed together roof to move as it expands and contracts with |
temperature change. E. A uniquely designed prepunched panel endlap
features a two piece clamped connection. A bottom reinforcing plate with four
stainless steel studs are placed into the prepunched panels. Then a corrosion
resistant aluminum top panel strap clamps the panel endlaps together eliminating any
attachment to support structurals. This allows the entire roof to move a single
steel membrane. The endlaps are also staggered to permit the full 360°
"Pittsburgh" double-lock seam through this critical joint. |
The MR-24 roof system is available
in 22 and 24 gage aluminum/zinc coated steel. The coating is Butler-Cote® 500 FP (a
fluoropolymer containing 70% Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® resin).
The MR-24 roof system includes a complete line of accessories (seamed-in curbs,
stainless steel gutters, etc.) designed to fit perfectly with the MR-24 system.
