ATAS International

The new Riverview Branch Library in Riverview, Fla., features 44,276 square feet of Field-Lok standing seam metal roof panels, manufactured by ATAS International, in Dove Grey .040 aluminum. The mechanically seamed panels have a 2-inch seam height and 15 ¼-inch panel width. The 2-inch Field-Lok panel is a double-locked structural panel that can meet severe load requirements. It’s an ideal choice for solar systems due to its long service life and ability to attach PV to the roof with any penetrations. Building owners also benefit from a roofing substrate that has a greater life expectancy than the solar panels. Visit atas.com for more information.

CertainTeed

CertainTeed® Corp. offers its WinterGuard® Metal roof underlayment for metal, shingle, slate or mechanically fastened tile roofs. Self-adhering and slip-resistant, WinterGuard Metal is unaffected by high temperatures caused by sun exposure during installation or when placed under metal roofing. Clogged gutters, high winds, and ice dams cause water to accumulate on lower sloped roofs, which can cause damage. WinterGuard Metal can combat these elements. It is waterproof, does not rip, and seals around nails driven through it. Visit certainteed.com for more information.
