Oceanfront residence

We are in Design Development and ConDocs on a residence on the edge of a bluff overlooking Gibson Beach in Carmel Highlands, CA. My clients want a metal roof. The approved design has 2 gable roofs and 1 single-slope roof, all connected by a lower flat roof. Due to height restrictions, the slope on all three roofs is 3-1/2" in 12". My questions: 1. What style would you recommend - standing seam, press-formed panels,etc - and why? 2. What finish - exposed metal or painted (what substrate) - would you recommend ? We don't want the look of weathered copper or zinc. 3. How do you protect field-cut edges for the style and finish you recommend?

Due to the low pitch and the fact that this roof will potentially be subjected to wind-driven rain, I would suggest a mechanically seamed standing seam. Furthermore, I would suggest aluminum for its rust resistance. You will want minimum thickness of .032" and a PVDF (Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000) paint finish.

Perfect advice from a man that knows his metal.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 11/26/2013	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/19030/find/
