Metal Roof Innovations Offers S-5 Technology For Metal Roofs

摘要

S-5 technology was developed to answer the need for an appropriate method to attach rooftop ancillaries to modern standing seam panels. The need to attach things to roofs is not new. Signs and advertising banners, radio and television antennae, roof walks, equipment screens coolant lines, electrical conduits and gas feed lines for rooftop units, lightning conductor leads, condensate lines, splash pans, snow guards, bracing for stacks, flues and parapets, rooftop condensing units and other HVAC equipment, roof accent lighting fixtures, photo-voltaic and solar collection panels are all accessories that S-5 clamps can make simple and easy to mount to standing seam metal roof and wall panels.In times past there has never been a prudent method to make these attachments. Often, frustrated contractors used wood blocking to create a mounting surface above the ribs and seams. Such practice trapped moisture and particulate against the panels' surface voiding the panel warranty. Most such lumber is also treated with preservative chemicals, which actually induce corrosion of metal panels. Various braces, brackets and other paraphernalia were screw fastened through the panels and into a purlin, violating the roofs thermal movement characteristics and its warranty.
