Approximately 11,500 sq. ft. of Petersen Snap-Clad metal roofing panels were used on the clubhouse.  An additional 3,500 sq. ft. of Snap-Clad panels were used on the tennis pavilion and postal facility.  The .032 aluminum panels were finished in Silver.

Natelli had used PAC-CLAD on a previous development, according to Dave Dombert, vice president of Natelli and general manager of Main Street Commercial, a Natelli company and the general contractor on the project.  “We knew we wanted Petersen for all of the community buildings at Bay Forest.  We like the aesthetics and the longevity.”

But metal almost didn’t make the cut when the market crashed.  “We considered using less expensive, typical asphalt shingles instead but that would not have done justice to the building,” Dombert said.  “The architect really fought to keep the metal.”

Design for the 12,000 sq. ft. facility was provided by Kishimoto, Gordon, Dalaya PC, Rosslyn, VA.  “The clubhouse is the focal element of the community,” said architect Henry Mahns, project manager.  “As such, the developer wanted this to be the signature building that would set the tone for the entire development.”

“We like the standing seam metal roof for projects that have a harsh environment like this one that’s in a coastal area,” according to Mahns.  “The strength, durability and longevity is just something we rely on with this type of project.  We want it to be there for a long time.”

The roof is accented with deep overhangs, cupolas, dormers and a featured tower element clad with engineered stone.  “We try to use traditional forms with contemporary detailing and we really believe the metal roof enhances the overall look and feel,” reports Mahns.  “The metal has a very clean, tech look to it that we find really works with a lot of jobs.”

Long-recognized as an industry leader in metal standing seam roofing products, Petersen also offers exposed fastener panels, flush panels, composite wall panels and column covers.  All provide the well-known Petersen quality and are available in PAC-CLAD® Kynar 500® finish in 37 standard colors on steel and aluminum.  Most colors meet LEED®, ENERGY STAR® and cool roof certification requirements.

The SNAP-CLAD system has been designed for architectural aesthetics and structural performance and meets Florida’s Building Code and Miami-Dade NOA standards for wind-uplift resistance. The 16” wide, 24 gauge galvanized steel panels were finished in Copper Penny.  Approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of PAC-CLAD flat stock was used for flashings and gutters on the project.

Installation of the Petersen panels was done by RAE CO of Ocala, Ocala, FL. Produced in factory formed lengths up to 55 feet, Petersen’s PAC-CLAD Panels are Herr-Voss corrective leveled to provide superior flatness.  Longer lengths are available by consulting the factory.  PAC-CLAD® Kynar 500® finish is now available in 37 colors on steel and on aluminum.  Most colors meet LEED®, ENERGY STAR® and cool roof certification requirements.

Approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of PAC-CLAD Snap-Clad Panels were used in the major tear-off and re-roof project.  The 24 gauge, 18” panels were finished in Forest Green.

Project design for the 189,000 building was provided by MAHG Architecture, Inc., Fort Smith, AR.  According to partner Galen Hunter, “The school saw this as an opportunity to resolve the leakage problem and bring the building into conformance with the master plan.  The re-roof was done in sections while classes were in session and the whole process went smoothly.  We’ve spent a lot of time researching roofs and we’re very confident with the Petersen system.”

Installation of the roof was done by Harness Roofing, Inc., Springdale, AR.  “The school originally wanted a metal roof when the building was constructed 15 years ago but opted for a less expensive shingle roof that failed,” said James Russell, project manager.  “The building had been well maintained and adding the metal roof made it look like new.  The only challenge was working around the students.  We had to keep moving safety fences and equipment.  And, of course, we had to remain covered-up and water tight at all times.  But the building really got a modern facelift and looks great.”

SNAP-CLAD Panels feature architectural panel aesthetics as well as structural panel performance. SNAP-CLAD Panels, produced in continuous lengths, are corrective leveled to provide superior flatness and feature an optional factory-applied sealant bead for improved weather resistance. Maximum panel length is 64 feet and minimum panel length is 4 feet.

SNAP-CLAD Panels feature a 1-3/4” leg height and a continuous interlock for improved structural performance and wind resistance. A concealed fastener clip system allows for thermal expansion/contraction while providing extraordinary hold-down strength. Two clips are available: a standard clip for most mansard and fascia applications and a high-performance clip for roofing application and UL 90 rated assemblies
