S-5!, a leader in metal roof attachment solutions, announced a new strategic joint venture with Sustainable Technologies, to drive innovation while expanding its rooftop attachment portfolio.

The collaboration will focus on the research, development and commercialization of the patented Facet Mount, a universal mounting solution designed for single-ply roofs, including TPO, PVC and KEE. 

The base component paired with the Facet Cover (of material matched to the roof) streamlines the installation of solar panels, fall protection systems, HVAC units and other rooftop accessories. 

S-5! announced the collaboration in a news release, adding that the components provide an efficient and reliable attachment method for single-ply roof installations.

By commercializing Facet Mount, S-5! solidifies its role as a one-stop shop for rooftop solutions, addressing the growing market demand when metal roofing isn't feasible. 

Made from high-pressure cast aluminum, the facet mount features 12 vertical and 4 slanted mounting points, creating 16 potential attachment points to meet highly engineered specifications. It uses a 3/8-inch-16-bolt attachment to allow max equipment attachment flexibility. Facet Mount boasts shear strengths up to 6,750 lbs., and an uplift resistance up to 12,750 lbs. — making it what S-5! describes as a stand-out product in the membrane roof mount market.

“This joint venture represents a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class engineered products for architects, contractors, installers, EPCs and other trade professionals,” said Rob Haddock, CEO of S-5! 

“Our shared vision for a greener world is fundamental to this collaboration,” Haddock added. “By combining our expertise in solar technology, green building, and roofing systems, we are poised to deliver innovative products that set the bar for performance, reliability and sustainability.”

Haddock continued, adding that S-5! is positioned to provide top attachment solutions beyond metal as a leader in metal roofing. 

“After nearly 20 years of utilizing Facet Mount in internal construction projects and over 10 years of successfully selling it within the renewable energy sector, the Sustainable Technologies [team] sought a strategic partnership to further expand our footprint in the roofing industry,” Todd Lindstrom of Sustainable Technologies said.
