Structural products were featured in Metal Architecture’s August 2022 issue.
All Weather Insulated Panels Inc. (AWIP)
AWIP’s OneDek is an insulated metal panel composite deck for low-slope roofs. Two components complete the roof assembly: an insulated panel and TPO or PVC membrane. When OneDek panels are sealed and fastened, a roof is weather resistant and work can be done in the interior at the same time the single ply membrane is installed.
Logan Stampings Inc.
Logan Stampings’ standing seam roof clips are structural members that attach standing seam roof panels to structural framing or decking. Clips are produced in 16-gauge to 26-gauge structural steel and there are several types including fixed clips and floating clips, which are for snap-together panels and mechanically seamed panels from 1 inch to 3 1/2 inches tall. Some clips can be used to create thermal breaks or a stand-alone roof retrofit assembly.
Petersen Aluminum Corp.
Petersen’s PAC-CLAD Tite-Loc structural standing seam roof system has panels with 2-inch-high legs and concealed-fastener floating clips that allow thermal expansion/contraction. After installation, Tite-Loc panels are mechanically seamed. Standard panel lengths are from 4 feet to 64 feet. A factory-applied sealant bead is available for additional weather resistance.
Roof Hugger LLC
Roof Hugger’s sub-framing for reroofing metal roofs is structural steel, Z-shaped sub-purlins. They are notched to allow ribs of existing metal roof panels to pass through the web of the Z-shape. This allows for direct structure to structure connections and the lowest possible profile above the existing roof panels.
Sheet Metal Supply Ltd.
Sheet Metal Supply’s 2-inch mechanically seamed structural standing seam roof system can be installed over open purlins or solid substrates on roofs with a minimum slope of 3/4:12. Panels have 2-inch-high ribs and integrated clip relief offsets. They come in standard 12- and 18-inch widths and panel coverages range from 8 inches to 24 1/2 inches.
Telling Industries LLC
Telling Industries’ T-Braces are used to mechanically bridge studs. The 1 1/2-inch T-Braces are passed through stud knockouts and snapped into place. To avoid stud rotation and bending under wind or axial loads, typically, U-channels or cold rolled channels (CRCs) are attached to studs with clips or welds. Whether or not clips are required depends on loads and wall heights. For most loads, clips are not required. However, in some instances, the wall framing system can support slightly higher loads with clips.
