RoofersCoffeeShop.com, the place where the industry meets for technology, information and everyday business is pleased to welcome Metal-Era, Inc. Metal-Era, Inc. is a national leader in commercial engineered roof solutions and most recently announced new FM ratings, many of which are the highest in the edge securement industry.
In order to receive approval for an FM rating, products are rigorously tested by Factory Mutual to FM 4435, the FM standard for edge termination used with low-slope roofing systems. Metal-Era received FM ratings on a wide range of fascia, coping and drip edge products including their Anchor-Tite, Perma-Tite and Edge Systems One product lines. All of the approved products and assemblies are listed on www.roofnav.com, the online resource of FM approvals. FM requires that assemblies utilized on FM insured buildings must be tested by FM, listed on Roof Nav, and meet the design pressure and safety factors specifically.
Already offering the largest selection of FM-rated roof termination products, Metal-Era added new systems to strengthen their commitment to providing high-performance solutions to customers in accordance with their SPEQ promise (Speed, Protection, Expertise and Quality).
The importance of meeting FM ratings is reinforced by data released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) showing that on average over the past four decades, high wind events have continued to increase in frequency. The winds can occur in any weather condition across the U.S. and quickly become a hazard to unprotected buildings.
Metal-Era Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Brad Van Dam, explained, “According to NOAA data, roughly 14,000 high wind events occur annually across the United States, damaging more than $17 billion in property. Our products are engineered and manufactured to withstand severe wind. The new ratings further demonstrate our ability to provide clients consistent and reliable protection of their roofing system at the perimeter.”
