The newest kindergarten through fifth grade facility in the
Palmyra Area School District in Palmyra, Pa., Lingle Avenue
Elementary School includes the district's first kindergarten center
and two large classroom pods (groups of eight classrooms) with
large group-instruction areas. The rest of the building hosts
multipurpose rooms, a gymnasium, library, nurses' suite and
administration offices.
The elementary school is protected from the elements by multiple
roofing products from Indianapolis-based Firestone Building
Products Co. The flat roof section of the school features 22,000
square feet of Firestone Building Products' fully adhered, 90-mil
RubberGard EPDM installed over Atlanta-based Georgia Pacific
Building Products' DensDeck Prime and Firestone's ISO 95+ GL
polyiso insulation. Firestone's AnchorGard was installed at the
perimeter of the EPDM-roofed areas. A 30-year Platinum warranty of
the EPDM provides security should the roof face any damage.
The 105,000-square-foot structure also includes approximately
85,000 square feet of Firestone's 22-gauge UC-3 Double-Lock
Standing Seam roofing system installed over ISO 95+ GL polyiso
insulation, Firestone Hail- Gard and Firestone CLAD-GARD SA, which
provided an ideal moisture barrier between the insulation and the
adjacent metal roofing panels. The school also features 9,500
square feet of Firestone's 22-gauge UC-500 Lap Seam Wall Panels.
With a 12-person roofing crew, the entire school building's roof
systems were installed in a little over four months' time. The
elementary school is now pursuing LEED certification.
