Making Metal Work For You

摘要

Metal roofing was tops with Las Vegas' Bellagio Hotel, capped in a winning fashion by this two-toned standing seam metal system in a unique print pattern called Marblique. The 24-gauge structural roofing profile, known as Design-Lok, uses a continuously interlocking system of concealed clips for weathertightness. To achieve the desired look, the project architect specified 2-in by 2-in. battens at 4-ft. intervals(i.e., every third seam). Extra care was also taken to make sure the roof battens centered perfectly with the windows below. Hansen Mechanical, Las Vegas, scored the challenging yob, which involved working 31 and 36 stories up in what is considered the world's second windiest city.
