Tapered Projects a SNAP with PAC SNAP-CLAD

August 29, 2011 – 12:24 pm

  

Outstanding design flexibility and proven strength of the Petersen Aluminum Snap-Clad panel are just two factors contributing to the successful completion of Ware County High School Project, located in southeastern Georgia. Long-recognized as the ideal selection for standing seam metal roof applications due to its superior aesthetics and unmatched long-term performance, PAC also provides the ability to custom fabricate the panels for precise fit in conical roof sections.

 

PAC worked closely with roofing contractor Roofing Professionals Inc. (RPI), of Richmond Hill, GA, to ensure the custom-produced panels not only fit perfectly, but also minimized field-waste on the project. The project featured 2200 SF of tapered Snap Clad in 24 GA PAC-CLAD Kynar-coated Hartford Green for the conical areas, plus another 2000 SF of Snap-Clad panels for the straight areas.

 

But the challenges for the roofing installation didn’t end there. The project also consisted of several curved roof areas, which required the Petersen Tite-Loc, 90-degree mechanically seamed panel. Tite-Loc is the superior selection for curved applications that require a radius of a minimum of 20’, and in some cases, even less. (Contact your local PAC factory for specific curving capabilities in your area.) A slight curve to the main areas of the roof meant the panels would “lay down” in the field. But panels over the building’s canopy required onsite field curving, which again demanded considerable coordination between RPI, PAC distributor Commercial Roofing Specialties of Savannah, GA,  and the PAC staff at our Acworth, GA branch. The 16,500 SF of curved and straight Tite-Loc Panels were also produced in 24 GA steel in Hartford Green.

 

The Architect-of-Record for this Waycross, GA project was Doug Neal Architects of St. Simons Island, GA.

New College Admin Building Ready to Face the Challenge of Florida Weather

July 26, 2011 – 1:27 pm

 

At first glance, the New College Adminstration Building in Sarasota, Florida is another architecturally pleasing structure featuring Petersen Aluminum’s Tite-Loc Plus standing seam metal panels. But look deeper and find that this building does more than win the beauty contest.

 

David Moss of Moss Specs, Sarasota Florida, selected the metal roofing from the start, making a bold statement to the building that sits at the entrance to the campus. But the strength and design flexibility of the Tite-Loc Plus mechanically seamed panels sealed the deal. PAC’s Tite-Loc Plus panels not only meet the requirements of  Miami-Dade NOA’s and Florida Building Approvals, but also boast the Hurricane Shelter Approval per the Florida Department of Education.

 

The project, installed by Murton Roofing, a TECTAAMERICA Company, featured 20,000 square feet of the 16” wide roofing panels, produced in .040 aluminum with a PAC-CLAD Zinc Metallic Kynar 500 finish. Also included on the project was the PAC 850 soffit panel, available in fully vented, half-vented and solid profiles.

 

Completed in summer of 2011, the project was designed by Architect-of-Record Moule & Polyzoides Architects, of Pasadena, CA.

PAC Metal Roofing Panels Highlight Savannah Visitor Center

June 21, 2011 – 1:06 pm

 

 

 

Initially built in the 1850’s as a passenger terminal of the Central Georgia Railroad complex, the prominent red-brick building located in historic downtown Savannah now houses the Savannah Visitor Center. In addition to the Visitor Center, the building also is home to the Savannah History Museum and the Chamber of Commerce.


A recent facelift to the building included the Petersen Aluminum Snap Clad standing seam panel in 24 GA galvanized steel. PAC-CLAD Colonial Red Kynar finish complements the brick to provide a modern update while maintaining its historical impact.


Installation of the 4900 square feet of the Snap Clad Panels was done by RPI (Roof Professionals, Inc) of Richmond Hill, GA, and was supplied by Georgia distributor, CRS of Savannah. Lead Architect for the project was John Herdina, Roofing Strategies, Inc. of Savanna, GA.

Magic Metal Make-Over

May 31, 2011 – 2:26 pm

And yes, it really is better than Botox.

 

Petersen’s line of standing seam metal roofing panels and wall panels have always been known to be the ideal solution for new
construction projects. But our products, with superior strength, design flexibility and unmatched aesthetics, can provide a facelift so stunning, the buildings are almost unrecognizable upon completion.


Two cases in point:

GA Southern University – Before

GA Southern University – After

 

Georgia Southern University, Facilities Planning Design and Construction
Building, Statesboro GA. This makeover included the gutting of the entire interior and exterior, featuring 1500 SF of the Petersen Tite-Loc 90-degree mechanically seamed standing seam panel in Cityscape for the roof. The walls were clad in PAC’s 7.2 exposed fastener panel used for ribbed siding, also in PAC-CLAD Kynar 500 Cityscape.

 

The installation was managed by Clay Chandler, Chandler Roofing & Specialty Metals of Statesboro, GA, and all material was supplied through top Georgia distributor, Commercial Roofing Specialties (CRS), Savannah, GA location. The architect of record for the project, completed in Spring, 2011, was the Facility Planning Design & Construction Department at the Georgia Southern University.

 

On St. Johns in the Virgin Islands, PAC provided 58,000 SF of new Snap Clad panels that transformed tired cedar shakes into a truly elegant look fitting of a Westin Resort Hotel property. Architect L2 Studios of Orlando, FL envisioned a bright palette for the tropical island setting and accomplished this with custom color Platinum in 12” on center, .040 aluminum panels. The standing seam metal roofing panels not only provide shear beauty but also stand up to the high wind loads experienced in the islands. For additional visual punch. PAC-CLAD
Berkshire Blue Snap Clad panels were utilized for the awnings.


The .040 aluminum substrate with high performance PAC-CLAD Kynar 500 coating is highly suitable to abrasive environments such as coastal and saltwater applications. The choice of Petersen products should ensure the Westin Resort will experience the beauty of the Platinum and Berkshire Blue for many, many years to come.


The re-roofing project was expertly completed by Premiere Roofing of Sanford, FL. Petersen has supplied several other Westin property
projects on St Johns and looks forward to this continuing relationship.

PAC Salutes Bristol Engineering for Job Well Done

May 17, 2011 – 10:41 am

As part of an overall 20 buildings completed at Ft. Stewart, GA’s 5th IBCT (Infantry Brigade Combat Combat Team), the most recent building completed was the Dining Hall, possibly considered the most important by many of the base soldiers.

 

The US Corp of Engineers required a “southern-style” architecture throughout the post, complete with floor to eave exterior columns, and this design was accomplished by Rule Joy Trammel + Rubio Architects, Atlanta, GA.

 

The post incorporates over 250,000 SF of  Colonial Red Snap Clad panels, and Bristol Engineering of Duluth, GA installed 15,000 SF of the panels on the Dining Hall.  Most of the panels were formed of 24 GA steel, however, 22 GA steel was utilized at the corner zones to enhance wind speed loads required by local building codes.

 

The job was a design-build delivery with H-S Joint Venture, LLC, Atlanta GA, and was completed in the Spring of 2011.

And We Have Liftoff…

May 3, 2011 – 12:18 pm

 

It really isn’t rocket science that the Petersen Aluminum Tite-Loc Plus mechanically seamed panel was the perfect solution for NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Maintenance Building. Not only is it an aesthetically pleasing panel that features the modern look of Champagne Metallic PAC-CLAD, but the 16” on center panel easily meets the design pressures required on the Florida coast. 22,500 square feet of panels were produced from .040 aluminum and meet the stringent requirements of the Florida Building Product Approval Code as well as Miami-Dade. Additionally, Petersen can provide a 20-Year Coastal finish warranty on the PAC-CLAD Kynar finish material for this and other projects located so close to the coast and other salt-water environments.

 

The building is located adjacent to the Space Center silos. Roofing contractor for the project was Quality Metals of Sanford, FL, and the architect of record was Frank Ramos of Jones Edmunds Architects, Titusville, FL.
