30 year Life and Exposed Fasteners | Ask The Experts Forum

Rich Glazier 10/12/2011	I'm designing some add on roofing components that will need a metal roof with exposed metal fasteners. A concern that has been brought up is whether having exposed fasteners would compromise the roof such that it would not have a 30 year life. The fasteners would be typical for metal roofs installation; bonded washer head. thanks for you help. RichG	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16713/find/

If you can specify, I always prefer a hidden fastener system for a more permanent, maintenance-free application.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16715/find/
