May 15, 2012 – 10:54 am

 

When the doors open in the Fall of 2012, 800 students of Meadow Glenn Middle School, Lexington, SC, will walk into the first LEED middle school in Lexington County School District One.

 

Contributing towards the anticipated Silver LEED status is Petersen Aluminum’s PAC Precision Series HWP, a bold, horizontal wall panel designed for edgy aesthetics, durability, ease of installation and sustainability. 12,000 square feet of the 16” HWP will be utilized on the second story building envelope. Manufactured of 24 GA in Sandstone PAC-CLAD Kynar finish, the galvanized steel wall panel offers a recycle content of over 32%, with 25.5% coming from post-consumer scrap.

 

Architect-of-Record for the project is Hussey, Gay, Bell & DeYoung, Columbia South Carolina. PAC distributor Roofers Mart of Columbia coordinated the project with installer Watts & Associates Roofing.  Construction of all phases of this project is expected to wrap up this summer.

May 9, 2012 – 6:55 am

 

The beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico along scenic  30A in Seaside, FL isn’t the only sight worthy of a second look at the new 723 Whiskey Bravo Restaurant.

Long-term performance of Petersen Aluminum’s Snap Clad panels may have been the main objective for specification for the Westminister Woods Retirement Community in Jacksonville, FL, but that wasn’t the only appealing factor: The panels also provide unmatched beauty and low maintenance, critical elements  for the 75 acre community located on the shores of the St. John’s River.

Metal DOES Make a Difference…..

January 17, 2012 – 11:09 am

 

 

Petersen Aluminum is continuing with its project on the island of St John in the Virgin Islands, as the Westin Resorts Properties progress with their renovations on their villas throughout the island. Check out the astonishing difference between the building with the original cedar shakes and the villa recently re-roofed with PAC’s Snap Clad standing seam metal panels in a 12” panel width in .040 aluminum. The panels are pre-finished with premium Kynar 500 coating to protect against coastal elements, yet the Miami-Dade approved panels provide outstanding wind uplift resistance that is required in the tropical location.

New Testing Certification for PAC Tite-Loc Plus Panel

November 29, 2011 – 10:55 am

 

 

 

Petersen Aluminum has recently completed the FEMA 361 Hurricane Impact testing.  The FEMA 361 document  addresses the design and construction of community safe rooms which will provide protection to a large number of people (anywhere from 12 up to several hundred) during hurricane events.  The latest edition of FEMA 361 meets and exceeds the design criteria set forth in ICC-500, Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters.

 

Specifically, the assembly must consist of:

  • 20 GA or 18 GA Steel  Decking
  • Uplift pressures in excess of  -150 PSF for the corners of the building
  • Minimum 40 MIL “peel and stick” membrane – No 30# felt
  • 180 Degree seamed panel to meet above pressures (as is Tite-Loc Plus)
  • 5/8” Dens Deck in assembly to achieve fire rating

 

For more information regarding this test, call your local PAC branch or visit www.fema.gov.

Project Update: University of North Carolina Dental School Closes in On Completion

October 18, 2011 – 9:48 am

 

 

With the first shipment of panels beginning in March of 2011, Petersen Aluminum contractor Hamlin Roofing of Garner, NC is closing in on a mid-October completion date for the breathtaking UNC-Chapel Hill Dental Sciences Building.

 

Planning for this project began almost two years ago between PAC, Hamlin Roofing and architect, FLAD Architects & Engineers, Raleigh, NC. The grand, steep-slope roof is sure to be noticed, with 32,000 square feet of Petersen’s Snap Clad standing seam architectural panel in 20 oz copper. The building also features 2300 SF of the PAC Flush Wall/Soffit panel in the same material.

 

The Dental Sciences Building is scheduled for opening in early 2012, and will feature state-of-the-art educational and research facilities, as well as office and administrative space. With the new 216,000 SF facility, the UNC School of Dentistry hopes to continue the traditions established when it opened its doors in 1950 to create opportunities for a diverse student population to serve patients across the state and the world.

 

The facility is also evident of the University’s sustainability initiatives, and is aiming for LEED Silver status. Copper is 100% recyclable, which will reduce future landfill waste, and is also produced from 90 – 95% recycled copper.

Cutting Edge Systems

October 3, 2011 – 9:57 am

At Petersen Aluminum Corporation, we are pleased to introduce a significant expansion of our line of copings, gravel stops and perimeter edge systems. Whether you may be a believer in the phenomenon of global warming or not, over the last several years we have all been witness to a number of significant weather events. Hurricane Irene, the tornadoes that hit Alabama and the massive tornado that destroyed much of Joplin, Missouri are some of the most recent events and they all serve to underline the broad geography affected. These events also underline the importance of high wind resistance performance on critical roofing components.

 

Building code authorities have reacted to this series of events by significantly increasing code requirements in an effort to improve wind load and wind uplift performance. Perimeter edge systems are the first line of defense for many roof systems and our new fascia, gravel stop and coping products have been designed with performance in mind. Our new PAC-TITE Fascia system, for example, has been ANSI/SPRI ES-1 tested and is backed by a lifetime 170 mph warranty. Our unique Continuous Cleat Coping system has been ANSI/SPRI ES-1 tested and is available with Factory Mutual Ratings up to FM-180.

 

In addition, these products are fabricated from our full line of PAC-CLAD colors and therefore assure full color uniformity between our metal edge products, our metal roofing and wall panel systems. A complete line of factory-fabricated accessories such as miters, scuppers and drainage components are also available.

 

Check out our complete line of coping, fascia and gravel stop products on this website and you will see that we offer unparalleled design flexibility and product capability.

September 13, 2011 – 8:26 am

 

 

Located 15 miles south of Birmingham, AL, The Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, AL is a 479-acre site designed to serve the needs of veterans for at least the next 50 years. The National Cemetery Act of 2003 authorizes the establishment of new national cemeteries to serve veterans in areas which have veteran populations exceeding 170,000. The Birmingham area was one of six areas in the United States designated for national cemetery development.

 

Phase I, opened for interments in 2009, consists of 45 acres, enough to house facilities to maintain the site and provide burials for the next 10 years. Included is the Administration Office Building, which was completed in the Spring of 2011. The statuesque building is topped with Petersen Aluminum Snap-Clad standing seam metal panels, rollformed in 16 oz copper. The system incorporated high-temperature peel and stick membrane, the suitable underlayment for installation of copper panels. Copper panels were selected to provide the desired long-life as well as aesthetics.

 

The roofing contractor for this project was Gulf States Roofing of Cullman, AL, and distributor was Roofers Mart Southeast, Birmingham, AL.
