Drexel Metals
Metal of Honor Awards: 15 • Website: www.drexelmetals.com • Phone: 888.321.9630
Drexel Metals Provides More Than Tools for Growing Customer Base
Regional roll formers and metal roofing installers are good at what they do: manufacturing and installing metal roofing. Drexel Metals has been reaching out to those quality manufacturers and installers to provide assistance with the other details of the business that make a metal roofing roll forming or installing operation successful.
“We call it ‘Mindless Convenience,’” said Brian Partyka, Drexel Metals Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “As an installer of Drexel products, we become your back office, allowing you to do the things that make you and your company more successful. We offer our contractors virtually everything they need, from pre-bid support to job closeouts. Our top-quality materials in the color you need can be delivered on-demand, allowing you to get started on a job as soon as the contract is signed. No more idle crews waiting for panels to arrive. You’ll have greater flexibility and greater control over your business.”
As your “back office,” Drexel Metals has invested in the testing of the systems you install and backs the warranties of the company’s Certified Installers and Authorized Fabricators. That support has helped Drexel Metals win the prestigious Metal of Honor award from the readers of Metal Roofing Magazine for the 15th time. The installers and fabricators that make up the ARM (Association of Regional Manufacturers) of Drexel Metals have taken advantage of local control, more efficiency, freight savings, less scrap, and the ability to provide “metal roofing on-demand.” “These products are 100% Drexel Metals site-certified via our Quality Assurance program and sized to exact dimensions for superior applications,” Partyka said. “As an ARM member, we become your ‘back office’ partner, allowing your team more time in the local market.”
Partyka added that the ARM program provides access to the wide variety of metal roofing products offered by Drexel Metals—approximately a dozen profiles to help contractors satisfy their customers.
These tested products come with the Drexel Metals Certified Installer Program. Highlights of the program include:
• Drexel Metals installer who services a local area by manufacturing and/or installing Drexel Metals Metal Roofing branded systems.
• Drexel Metals acts as the installer’s back office support while the contractor focuses on building the local market through Drexel Metals’ marketing initiatives, code approvals, and full system program.
• Participates in Drexel Metals Weather Tightness Warranties Program.
“Our ARM program takes the production of the metal roof panel from the traditional factory to a local service area or even right to the job site,” Partyka said. “We integrate the entire supply chain from the steel or aluminum mill to the installed roof. We work with owners, architects, designers, and consultants to control every component used from the deck up, to create the complete long-lasting, watertight metal roof system.” Drexel Metals offers its roll formers and installers quality products and support, including:
• Engineered metal roof systems
• Fully tested clips and fasteners
• Complete range of tested systems to complement your offering

DripStop
Metal of Honor Awards: 1 • Website: www.dripstop.com • Phone: 973.660.6646
As a builder or building owner, you may have received a call that began with: “It’s raining inside my building!”
It’s probably condensation. Once the building is up, the remedies are fewer, less effective, and more expensive. The key is to install panels with a condensation control membrane like DR!PSTOP during construction.
The reason you might not think about condensation until it is too late is… You can’t see, touch, or feel it, until it’s already a problem. Understanding what causes condensation and the solutions can be confusing. However, builders who educate their customers about condensation before starting the job can avoid angry phone calls and problems after the build.
It is a simple scientific fact that just as a glass of ice water sweats on a hot day, bare metal roofing sweats under similar conditions. When warm, wet air meets a cold surface, condensation forms water droplets.
In most parts of the country, dripping is almost unavoidable due to seasonal climate changes. There are two different ways builders have typically combatted moisture inside metal buildings. Historically, a layer of insulation has been used to minimize the change in temperature—this helps stop humidity from forming water droplets. More recently, builders have found a new, more efficient way to “control” condensation using a felt membrane to “catch” the moisture as it forms overnight, then “release it” as the sun and air move across the metal roofing panels during the day. DR!PSTOP is the world’s most trusted and used condensation control membrane.
When insulation is installed to specifications, it can be an effective solution. A condensation control membrane like DR!PSTOP offers numerous advantages for both the builders and building owners. As the building is erected, DR!PSTOP arrives already installed on the metal panels. Therefore, there is no time spent installing insulation. This increases job site safety for the builder by eliminating blind steps to purlins covered with insulation. It also saves labor typically spent tacking that insulation down and taping the seams. Since no insulation is being used, windy days become much less of a challenge.
Our membrane will not require cleaning or maintenance. Birds will not peck holes in it and it will not sag or fall off. DR!PSTOP is virtually worry-free.
Most condensation control membranes like DR!PSTOP offer noise reduction to cut down on both impact noise and echoes from inside the building.
DR!PSTOP’s specially designed adhesive barrier also helps protect the steel from corrosion. DR!PSTOP on a properly installed and vented metal roof will perform exceptionally 20-plus years down the road!
Ventilation
There are many potential sources of moisture in a metal building:
• Fill dirt/gravel
• Concrete
• Livestock
• Poor drainage
• High ground water table
• Use of heaters, propane, kerosene, etc.
• Snow melt from vehicles, or moisture from washing vehicles
• Washing down floor areas
• Storage of firewood, green lumber, or fresh-cut timber
• Hay storage or other farm commodities
Whatever condensation control option you choose, ensure proper ventilation.
We want to thank our partners and customers for their continued trust and service. DR!PSTOP has served our customers for over 25 years and we look forward to serving for another 25.
Dynamic Fastener
Metal of Honor Awards: 12 • Website: www.dynamicfastener.com • Phone: 800.821.5448
What is the definition of long life? The answer would vary greatly depending upon the subject. For instance, the life expectancy of an African elephant on the Serengeti would be substantially different than that of a mosquito on your forearm.
Unfortunately for the metal roofer, the same nebulous and misleading signals are sent when some of Dynamic Fastener’s competitors claim their fasteners have a long life coating. Once again, “long life” is just a relative phrase.
To eliminate unnecessary concerns on behalf of its valued customers, Dynamic Fastener quantifies the meaning of “long life.” Since Dyna-Coat premium coating passes the 1,000-hour salt spray test, the company proudly proclaims “1,000 Hour” right next to the word Dyna-Coat. Rarely, if ever, does Dynamic Fastener see its competitors touting the tests that their screws pass. That is a suspicious omission.
To paraphrase the famous commercial, “What’s on your fastener?” Removing the uncertainty on this very important topic is easy. Specify Dyna-Coat 1,000-hour salt spray premium coating on all screw requirements.
Dyna-Coat is a premium organic polymer coating designed to provide corrosion resistance for metal fasteners. Fasteners coated with Dyna-Coat exhibit excellent resistance to marring, chipping, and abrasion. The color of the coated fastener is metallic silver. Dyna-Coat employs several forms of corrosion resistance, such as replacement, inhibition, envelopment, and electrochemistry. These coated fasteners also have a strong resistance against acid and alkaline chemicals.
Service
Dynamic Fastener is proud to have been chosen to receive the 2021 Metal of Honor Award by the readers of Metal Roofing Magazine. That devotion from readers is not an accident.
The company’s success rests on its dedication to service, evident in the following areas:
• Standard orders received by 4 p.m. CST will ship that day more than 99% of the time.
• Dynamic Fastener’s buying power enables it to competitively and successfully sell nationwide. The company has more than 45,000 customers representing all 50 states and 15 foreign countries.
Catalog
Dynamic Fastener’s free 140-page full-color Tool and Fastener Hand Guide (shown at left) covers fastener applications, engineering data, availability of types, size ranges, and fastener materials.
The Hand Guide also features Dynamic Fastener’s flagship products: D•F® screws, Dyna-Guard® snow retention system for metal roofs, Dyna-Clamps® to accommodate many different profiles of standing seam roofs, and 75 million D•F® rivets in stock, of which over 55 million are prepainted and stocked in bags of 250 pieces.
In addition to discussing screws and anchors, the Guide provides prices and other information relating to flashings, sealants, insulation tapes, safety equipment, hand tools, power tools, and more.
There are seven Dynamic Fastener locations: Kansas City, Missouri (main office); Chicago, Illinois; Houston, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Memphis, Tennessee; St. Louis, Missouri; and St. Paul, Minnesota.
East Coast Fasteners
Metal of Honor Awards: 7 • Website: www.plyco.com • Phone: 800.558.5895
East Coast Fasteners Wins Seventh Metal of Honor
This is getting to be a regular occurrence and that’s a good thing. East Coast Fasteners is proud and excited about being recognized by the readers of Metal Roofing Magazine as one of the top suppliers in the industry for a seventh time.
It’s satisfying to know we’re keeping our customers happy. We’re committed to providing the highest quality products and service to the commercial construction and post-frame industries with a growing variety of fasteners designed to deliver the best product for each specific project.
Introduced in 2019, East Coast Fasteners received our patent last year for the Ply-Lo Driller design intended to be more forgiving than other fasteners when installing at a slight angle. The Ply-Lo Driller is available in colors to match virtually any panel as a #10 fastener in lengths of 1″, 1½”, 2″, 2½”, and 3″.
The Driller is getting great reviews from our customers. Its design drills quickly as well as minimizes dust and pigtails. The Driller has also been designed to reduce the likelihood of “walking,” thereby reducing the chance of ruining your panel during installation.
East Coast Fasteners constantly tests and improves its products to ensure we are delivering the best products available in the market. This attention to detail provides the strongest and most effective building components for fastening wood, aluminum, steel, roof deck, and plywood.
Another recent innovation from the company, introduced in 2018, is its 40-year Ply-Lo fastener, The Ply-Lo EXTREME, a fastener designed for extreme environments. Ply-Lo EXTREME has all the features and benefits of the original Ply-Lo and has a 40-year warranty. Ply-Lo EXTREME is available in #10, #12, and #14 diameters.
East Coast Fasteners has also upgraded the original Ply-Lo fastener—the Ply-Lo EXTENDED is the fastener designed exclusively for the post-frame industry and now has a 12-year warranty.
To find the best fastener or closure for your project, contact an East Coast/Plyco territory manager.
Englert Inc.
Metal of Honor Awards: 15 • Website: www.englertinc.com • Phone: 800.364.5378
Englert was founded in 1966 by Herb Englert when he saw the opportunity to open his own gutter business. He lacked the capital to get started, but a successful investor believed in the business and gave him the money. Englert pioneered the concept of a “total system,” selling not just gutter materials, equipment, and accessories, but also support materials including color cards, literature, and machine maintenance.
Herb’s success enabled him to repay his investor, but he was refused. “Pay it forward,” he was told. “Help others become successful businessmen and we’ll all be better for that.” Herb built his business on the foundation of helping other businesses grow, and Englert continues that tradition today.
Our MetalMan roofing and gutter machines, as well as the technicians and support included with every purchase, are a big part of that. We offer a wide array of gutter machines, seamers, and fixed- and multi-panel roofing machines to meet the needs of every roofer. We recently introduced the Series 56X gutter system. It’s a large capacity gutter that looks like a 5″ gutter but performs like a 6″. Response from customers has been good and they’re looking forward to purchasing the machine and growing their business.
From the time a new machine is received at our warehouse in New Jersey, our technicians go over every inch of the machine to make sure it’s in perfect condition for our customer. First, the machine is fitted with the dies for the requested profile. Then it’s calibrated, lubricated, and tested before it’s shipped to the customer. We also make sure our customers are properly trained in machine operation, maintenance, and safety so the machines can perform at their best. Our machines are designed for experts, so we offer a total package of support, including a mobile service force, machine training, marketing support, and warranties.
And our techs aren’t just there at the beginning of a machine’s life. We’re there to help our customers service their machines if necessary. Usually customers will bring their machines to us, but our technicians also have the ability to travel to them if necessary. We always stock Englert parts, so if you bought a machine from us, it can be fixed immediately. But as long as you’re a customer, we’ll even fix machines that you didn’t buy from us. It’s all part of our mission to give our customers the tools they need to succeed.

McElroy Metal
Metal of Honor Awards: 16 • Website: www.mcelroymetal.com • Phone: 318.747.8000
McElroy Metal is a third-generation family-owned components manufacturer that works hard to help its customers succeed. McElroy Metal customers are working in a variety of construction markets, ranging from post-frame buildings to high-rise offices and hotels.
One area of success in recent years has been the roof re-cover market, specifically, the metal-over-metal roof re-cover. McElroy Metal developed the 238T symmetrical standing seam roofing system to allow roofers to re-cover existing metal roofing systems that have outlived their service life without a tear-off, protecting the contents within the building and allowing the operations under the roof to continue.
McElroy Metal offers multiple methods of metal roof re-cover that feature the 238T system, setting a new standard for performance with ease of installation, outstanding wind uplift and strength characteristics, individual panel replacement capability, and job site roll forming for long length panels. To meet the demand for specialty panels, 238T is also available tapered and curved.
Because the panels are symmetrical, 238T can be installed from either end of the roof or even from the center out. Symmetrical panels also allow for individual panels to be removed and replaced if they become damaged. Galvalume, 238T’s standard substrate, has a roof life expectancy approaching 60 years, so having the ability to replace one or two damaged panels, as opposed to an entire roof, could offer significant savings for the building owner during that time.

Uni-Vent® and Universal Ridge Clips offer the most convenient method for venting standing seam and corrugated roofing panels. With Uni-Vent® II, there is no need to be profile specific, since the product conforms to the rib panel. For those who prefer profile-specific systems, our Uni-Vent® Pro-Series is available for 6″ OC 7-rib, 11.66″ OC 4-rib, or 9″ OC. Our Uni-Vent® III provides the same conforming benefits as Uni-Vent® II, but this product is applied directly to the ridge (prior to fastening the ridge). Finally, our Universal Ridge Clip will provide assistance with standing seams by eliminating the need for “Z” closure installation.
Cupolas offer the perfect decoration for any metal roofing project. We offer 24″, 36″, 48″, and 66″ square cupolas as well as 48″ and 84″ octagon cupolas. All models are available with or without windows to decorate a commercial, residential, or specialty project.
MWI also has route trucks in many areas, so customers can conveniently combine products to reduce freight costs, inventory, and challenges.
Thanks to our outstanding customers, we have been able to support the post frame and metal roofing industry for over 35 years while becoming a leading manufacturer/supplier of cupolas, Ridg-Vents®, steel and aluminum soffits, trim, horse stalls, Dutch and sliding doors, door track, polycarbonate skylight panels, and foil insulation.
Once again, we offer our sincerest appreciation for awarding us with a 2021 Metal of Honor!
PAC-CLAD / Petersen
Metal of Honor Awards: 16 • Website: www.pac-clad.com • Phone: 800.PAC.CLAD
A Curved-Roof Conundrum
Like much of the Atlanta metropolitan area, Barrow County, Georgia, has experienced a growth spurt during the past decade, with population up an estimated 20%. New county amenities include an outdoor performance space, the Barrow County Innovation Amphitheater. The amphitheater includes a ticket and concessions building that acts as a gateway to the open-air seating. Metal roofing plays a big role in the new venue’s design—especially in the clamshell layout over the stage that required a creative solution and skilled installers.
Two varieties of 24-gauge steel panels from Petersen’s PAC-CLAD lineup were required to meet the project’s varied demands, outlined in architectural plans by Lindsay Pope Brayfield Clifford & Associates, Inc. of Lawrenceville, Georgia. “I believe the design team wanted the architectural appearance of a 16″-wide Snap-Clad panel on the entrance building,” said John Salo, President of the Suwanee, Georgia, installation firm, Saco Systems. “But they also knew they needed a mechanically seamed Tite-Loc Plus panel on the stage roof, due to the radius.” All metal material was supplied by CRS: Commercial Roofing Specialties in Doraville, Georgia.
Finding a Solution
The curved radius over the stage proved to be a bit of a puzzle, because the steel structure and structural roof deck were designed as flat components, providing no support for the envisioned clamshell profile. It was thought that plan would have to be scrapped in favor of a more traditional, hipped roof.
That’s when Petersen’s local rep stepped in. “Dave Landis of Petersen made a site visit as we were preparing to install the first panel on the stage roof and formulated an installation method that allowed Saco to install the roof in the original design,” Salo said. The solution involved using two different types of clips, including 3/8″ clips that lift the panel off the deck. “Everything worked according to his plan, and the clamshell design turned out perfectly.”
Salo shared that one other challenge his team faced involved channeling rainwater off the roof. “The design of the stage structure allowed for only two downspouts, and we knew that…they would be inadequate to handle that kind of volume,” he explained. This time, the company turned to its own expertise, custom-fabricating two extra-large collector heads, one for each of the two columns available for downspout placement.
Building a Partnership
This project is an example of numerous collaborations between Saco Systems and Petersen, Salo said, noting the strong support his company has received from Petersen over the years. “The relationship literally spans decades. Saco considers itself very lucky to be partners with the Petersen office here in Atlanta. From the sales staff to the production floor and the field/technical services, the entire regional office is staffed with top-notch professionals.”
Petersen, a Carlisle company, manufactures a wide range of PAC-CLAD architectural metal roofing and cladding products in multiple gauges of steel and aluminum. All are available in Kynar 70% PVDF finish in 46 standard colors that include a 30-year finish warranty. Most colors meet LEED and Energy Star requirements, and are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Custom colors and weathertightness warranties are offered. BIM and CAD documents are available for most products.

Roof Hugger, LLC is proud to have been chosen again as a recipient of this year’s Metal Roofing Magazine Metal of Honor award. We are thrilled to be celebrating our 30th year in business. In the beginning, we could only dream of what the future would bring for us, as we watched those first Huggers get “fabbed” into shape and shipped out the door.
Now, Roof Huggers have been installed on over 100 million square feet of existing metal roofs. No other competitor can make that claim. With our Roof Hugger framing system, you can install any brand-new metal roof over an existing metal roof. The Z-shaped Huggers are notched to fit over almost all existing metal roof profiles, and are attached directly into the existing purlins. This direct attachment is proven to add strength to the existing building purlins.
If you have an existing corrugated roof panel, we have a Roof Hugger system for that, too. Our Corru-Fit system is adaptable to any corrugated roof panel.
With a Roof Hugger system, you can install virtually any new metal roof panel regardless of rib spacing and height.
If you have a project where the new metal roof needs to meet the requirements of today’s building codes for wind uplift and snow load, you can request a quote for a Roof Hugger engineered system.
Building owners, installing our Roof Hugger system will not disrupt your daily operations, it is environmentally friendly by keeping old metal roofing materials out of landfills, and reduces energy costs with the ability to add insulation between the old and new roof. Your building stays warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer.
Whether you’re a contractor, a design professional, or building owner, we have a system that will fit your existing metal roof.
Visit our website, and let us show you how a metal roof retrofit outperforms all lesser roof covering options, and gets you a roof system with up to a 60-year life with the lowest maintenance requirements. Get a quote today at www.RoofHugger.com.

Snap-Z
Metal of Honor Awards: 6 • Website: www.standingseamroofvent.com • Phone: 717.572.0910
The journey began in 2014 when a customer requested an alternative ridge vent. Since what they were looking for did not yet exist, this sparked our desire to engineer and manufacture a revolutionized ridge vent. The new product needed to satisfy the demands of the market and speed up the installation process on a standing seam roof.
Our goal has always been to simplify the installation process for standing seam ridge vents. We make it our highest priority to deliver a quality product that not only meets, but exceeds, the standard expectations in the standing seam roofing industry. We strive to provide innovative, time-efficient products to ease the difficulty of installing standing seam ridge ventilation systems.
Our simple commitment: We follow the commands of Christ and commit to treating you like we want to be treated. We will do our best to deliver fast, quality service, every time you need it.
The Snap-Z product allows installers to vent the peak of a standing seam metal roof in a way that air is allowed to flow, yet water and snow infiltration are restricted. The design of the Snap-Z is unique in the marketplace, a new product designed in- house by Snap-Z to work with 1″ open-hem metal ridge caps. It fits between the ribs of standing seam roof panels. A simple, unique, two-step process makes installation of the Snap-Z a breeze, and saves both time and money with its speed and efficiency: 1. Using screws, install one Snap-Z on each side of the ridge of the roof. 2. Take the ridge cap and slide it onto the Snap-Z. Then fasten the ridge cap to the Snap-Z with a minimum of three pairs of pop rivets per 10′ of ridge cap.
Snap-Z is cut to the length desired by each customer. Product specifications include:
• Net Free Area: Up to 15 square inches per 1 linear foot of ridge
• Snow Infiltration: 0
• Withstands 120mph wind-driven rain
• Withstands winds up to 110mph
• Air Flow: 730 cubic feet per min (per 10′ ridge)
• Rib Height: 1″, 1½”, 1¾”, 2″

For metal roofs offering a 40-year or longer written warranty, the ZXL SteelBinder® and ZXL WoodBinder® MB micro-bit drill point complete the system. Both have a ZAMAC zinc aluminum alloy molded head. A written warranty is available upon request. Pipe flashings, solid and vented foam closures and rolls, wafer and pancake screws for standing seam roofs, and other accessories are available. Rounding out the 2021 ST product line is the new #12 T-17 WoodBinder® and ZXL for OSB applications, and the newly introduced MultiVent20™ ventilation material. Call for more information.
ST Fastening would like to thank the readers of Metal Roofing Magazine for awarding it a Metal of Honor award in 2021.
Titanium®
Metal of Honor Awards: 9 • Website: www.ChooseTitanium.com • Phone: 800.567.9727
Titanium Is Tough Under Metal
Titanium® Synthetic and Self-Adhered Underlayment is the premium choice for protection that lasts. Contractors trust Titanium® synthetic and self-adhered underlayment products for roofing projects that demand performance. Titanium offers roof deck protection from eave to peak. Choose one of the most preferred premium synthetic underlayment brands—and the ideal choice for metal roofing systems.
Best Practice
• Like an asphalt roof, when installing a metal roof, we recommend starting with a clean roof deck. Tearing down to the deck is important to help identify any unseen issues.
• Picture framing: Best practice for installation would be to use our Titanium PSU30 along the eaves, rakes, and any penetrations, then use Titanium UDL30 or UDL50 on the remaining deck.
Or, based on local codes, a Self-Adhered (SA) underlayment could be required at the eaves. We recommend that a SA product be used on the eaves, rakes, valleys, and penetrations. These are areas where a large amount of water can gather, and this method helps create peace of mind. The use of a synthetic underlayment can be used in the field of the roof.
Titanium Products
Exceptional Durability and Tear Resistance: Even small holes can lead to leaks. We tested the effects of heavy boot scuffing that can occur during installation. Only Titanium UDL30 maintained its strength and didn’t leak! This is important because the underlayment is the last line of defense on a roof deck.
UDL30 and UDL50 are tough and durable. From helping to dry the roof before the metal cladding arrives to resisting tears and scuffing from foot traffic and metal panels, they can hold up to the use and abuse of a metal roof install.
Increased Walkability: The Sure-Foot® nodular walking surface creates a safe walking surface. Our Titanium PSU30 and UDL30/UDL50 all have the same pattern, which makes it easier to move around the roof deck without having to adjust to different surfaces.
The walking surface is the same between the manually adhered (MA) and SA products. This is unique in the market because most SA products have different walking surfaces versus MA products. Having the same Sure-Foot® nodular walking surface provides peace of mind for installers. They do not have to change how they walk as they transition between products, or fear that one product will perform differently under their feet. The nodular walking surface helps to provide great footing, both wet and dry.
High-Temp Performance: PSU30 is high temp rated and has a self-sealing lap system. This improves the bond between layers, greatly decreasing the risk of leaks.
Great products to use under asphalt, metal, and tile. ChooseTitanium.com.
