When the board of directors of Holy Trinity Greek
Orthodox Church in Spokane, Wash.,
realized they had to replace the foam roof on their church, they
knew that they had to find a roof that would not only look good but
would also be permanent. In addition, they were faced with the
challenge of finding a roofing product that would accommodate the
curvature of their signature double domes. To their surprise, they
found the ideal product and manufacturer, Zappone Manufacturing,
right in their hometown.
Joe Zappone, owner of Spokane-based Zappone Manufacturing, was
up to the challenge. He knew that a combination of Zappone's
full-size Copper Shingles, along with the half-size Zappone Accent
Copper Shingle, could easily accommodate the curvature of the dome.
Unique to most metal roofing products, the Zappone Copper Shingle
is designed with a four-way interlocking system that provides for
expansion and contraction and is nailed directly to the roof deck.
In addition, with the life span of copper, the roof would last for
hundreds of years. Zappone supplied 5,234 square feet of 12-ounce
copper for the project.
Zappone worked closely with the installation team at BJ Roofing,
Spokane, to fabricate custom copper flashings for the project. The
finished result is a roof that is not only aesthetically pleasing,
but will last for lifetimes to come. Toribara Arhitects, Spokane,
was the architect.
