Intricate installation Made Easy By J. Register Company
February 1, 2013 – 1:48 pm
Like everything else in life, some construction projects are easier than others. The Custead Care Haven Hospice Center, in Orange Park, FL., fell into the demanding category, but the J. Register Company of Jacksonville, FL was up for the challenge.
The project consisted of 42,000 square feet of Petersen Aluminum’s Snap-Clad standing seam architectural metal panels in unfinished 24 gauge Galvalume Plus. The details were the critical element in this project, as nearly every NRCA and SMACNA flashing detail came into play. J. Register Company pulled it off flawlessly, resulting in a stunning project that is not only economical but meets all requirements as specified in the Florida Building codes.
Standing seam metal panels were specified from the start, and PAC’s Acworth, GA plant facilitated the use of Snap-Clad as well as the PAC R-36 exposed fastener panel with upfront expertise of the Florida Building Approvals and assistance with all required submittals.
The Custead Care Center is the fifth free standing care center within the Haven Hospice system located throughout northern Florida. Architect-of-Record is AG Architecture of Wauwatosa, WI.
Latest Miami-Dade Product Approvals Just In
January 31, 2013 – 10:12 am
In our efforts to meet and exceed the most stringent testing requirements, Petersen Aluminum continues to add to and update its portfolio of Florida Building Product Approvals and Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) approvals:
Florida Building Approvals: Most of our existing approvals have been revised to meet the most recent 2010 Building Code. Additional testing has been completed to add additional substrates, decks and panel on-centers, in many cases producing increased wind load capabilities. Snap Clad, Tite-Loc Plus, Snap On Standing Seam, Flush Panel, PAC-850, our line of Exposed Fastener panels, and Precision Series Horizontal Wall Panels all have FBC approvals.
Miami Dade: Many of our NOA’s for Snap Clad and Tite-Loc Plus have been resubmitted and are approved through 2017. Additional approvals are pending in late January/early February for 24 GA and .032 aluminum Tite-Loc Plus over steel deck, as well as our aluminum 7/8” Corrugated Panel.

Aluminum Tite-Loc Plus Divine Solution for St. Michael Catholic Church
January 2, 2013 – 3:44 pm
The location of St. Michael Catholic Church in Garden City, SC – just four blocks from the Atlantic Ocean – creates an idyllic setting, yet requires specific attention to material selection. Metal standing seam panels provide unmatched aesthetics and strength, but for installations exposed to salt air climates, ALUMINUM is the appropriate substrate.
The new worship center of St. Michael’s features 30,000 SFT of Petersen Aluminum’s Tite-Loc Plus panel in .040 aluminum coated with PAC-CLAD Dark Bronze Kynar finish. The panel itself is a 180 degree mechanically seamed panel for superior strength, meeting the desired negative load uplifts for this project, as well as Air & Water Testing requirements. The PAC-CLAD Kynar finish over the aluminum substrate also offers a 20 year Coastal Finish Warranty for long-term beauty.
The project also featured 2000 SF of Petersen’s 12” wide Flush panel for use in soffit applications. The project was installed by Metalcon, Inc., of Wilmington, NC, and Architect-of-Record was LS3P Neal Prince Architects of Greenville, SC.
