Repair or Replace

Repair or Replace
http://www.ultraseam.com/ Repair or Replace Understanding potential weaknesses of roofing material also requires knowledge of repair difficulties. Individual slates can be replaced normally without major disruption to the rest of the roof, but replacing flashing on a slate roof can require substantial removal of surrounding slates. If it is the substrate or a support material that has deteriorated, many surface materials such as slate or tile can be reused if handled care fully during the repair. Such problems should be evaluated at the outset of any project to determine if the roof can be effectively patched, or if it should be completely replaced.Will the repairs be effective? Maintenance costs tend to multiply once trouble starts. As the cost of labor escalates, repeated repairs could soon equal the cost of a new roof.The more durable the surface is initially, the easier it will be to maintain. Some roofing materials such as slate are expensive to install, but if top quality slate and flashing are used, it will last 40-60 years with minimal maintenance. Although the installation cost of the roof will be high, low maintenance needs will make the lifetime cost of the roof less expensive.

US-175LS Lock Seam Panel

US-175LS Lock Seam Panel
Ribs of adjacent Lok Seam panels snap together, enclosing the concealed clips and provide a positive metal-to-metal lock. In turn, the enclosed clips positively secure the adjacent panels to the roof structure. Seams require no machine closing, yet are continuously and securely locked in place. By eliminating the need for mechanical seaming, installation time and cost can be greatly reduced. Also available in 1-1/2" rib height (US-150LS). The US-150LS has a slightly different locking detail from the US-175.http://www.ultraseam.com/

US-100CS Standing Seam PanelUS-100CS

US-100CS Standing Seam PanelUS-100CS
Seam panel has a single upstanding leg on each side. After a panel is laid, the clips are installed up against the panel leg, with half of each clip folded over the leg. The adjacent panel is then laid up against the clips, and the other half of each clip is folded down. Finally the batten cap is snapped down over all clips in the seam along the entire length of the panel. The panels are now securely attached with the completed seam enclosing all clips. Seams require no machine closing and rapid installation means low in-place cost. Also available in 1-1/2" rib height (US-150CS). Cap Seam panel can also be curved or tapered. These panels create an architecturally desirable look without jeopardizing the integrity of the roof panel. The installation of the curved cap seam panel (US-100 CCS) and the tapered cap seam panel (US-100 TCS) is the same as the straight cap seam panel (US-100 CS). US-200SB Snap Batten System.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Roof/Wall Accessosries

Roof/Wall Accessosries
Ceco has translucent panels for wall or roof use to match most panel configurations. These panels allow you to put natural light where you need it.The roof panels are manufactured from a polyester resin reinforced with a mesh of woven fiberglass cloth and chopped glass fibers. The wall panels are made similarly but without the woven fiberglass reinforcing.Translucent panel installation is very similar to steel panel installation since they corrugate with adjacent steel panels at both end laps and side laps. Also, translucent roof panels are available with the CLP and CXP standing seam roof.http://www.ultraseam.com/
