One
of the biggest quality features of our roofing products is the gauge, or
thickness, of the steel we use. There are actually several standards for
determining metal gauge. We adhere to the strictest, the United States
Standard Rev. Because many other metal roofing suppliers choose to use lower
standards, Taylor Metal Product’s roofing can be up to 19% thicker than
other manufacturer’s “same gauge.”
Taylor
Metal Products offers Kynar 500 in a wide range
of colors to compliment today’s homestyles. Fluoroceram Kynar
500 paint has a 70% resin base that provides the ultimate in
exterior durability and color retention under the most extreme conditions.
Kynar 500® carries a 30-year paint warranty against fading, chalking,
chipping, cracking or peeling. Because the G-90 galvanized coating applied to
our base steel prior to painting is one and one-half times as thick as the
common G-90 coating, Taylor Metal Products is able to warrant its Kynar 500
coated products against rust-through for 50 years.
Quality
Manufacturing
Taylor
Metal Products’ patented processes and machinery allow us to create a
superior roofing product for your home. We use roll forming machines with
18-stations versus as few as 6 with other manufacturers. Why is this
important? Forming metal gradually minimizes the strain on the material and
maximizes panel flatness.
Quality
Design
Taylor
Metal Products is known for two key design advantages. Our patented
zero-siphoning lock seam with concealed fasteners is available on both our
Easy Lock™ Standing Seam and Pacific Pattern™
Horizontal Panel patterns.
Our
uniform, pre-slotted flanges ensure proper installation of the panels and
allow room for expansion/contraction—an important point to avoid buckling.
This
patented combination of innovative interlocking-panels and the pre-slotted
flanges creates a positive linkage of panels, improving structural strength
and allowing Taylor Metal Products roofing to withstand winds of up to 140
M.P.H. Many other roofing systems use names similar to Easy Lock™, but we
strongly recommend a side-by-side product comparison.
