Englert, Inc., a manufacturer of metal roofing and rainware products, has announced plans to market and sell retrofit framing systems from Roof Hugger, Inc. providing customers and prospects with fully-engineered re-roof framing systems to replace aging, leaky metal over metal roof systems, too expensive to maintain.
Englert, Inc., a manufacturer of metal roofing and rainware products, has announced plans to market and sell retrofit framing systems from Roof Hugger, Inc. providing customers and prospects with fully-engineered re-roof framing systems to replace aging, leaky metal over metal roof systems, too expensive to maintain.
Both companies are leaders in the metal construction industry providing solutions to metal over metal roofing applications that can satisfy new building code design loads for meeting current gravity and wind uplift requirements.
Roof Hugger’s patented, pre-notched systems and their Eco-Fit energy efficient re-roofing systems work well with integrated metal roof systems that incorporate Englert’s UltraCool standing seam panels, its solar BIPV laminates and solar thermal systems that qualify for federal renewable energy tax incentives. Depending on where the project is located, a multitude of State and Local loan guarantees/funding, grants, renewable energy bonds and tax programs are also available.
“In these challenging economic times, architects and developers are realizing that a Roof Hugger retrofit system and a standing seam roof are cost effective solutions to nagging roof problems,” notes Tom Dyszkiewicz, senior vice president of business development, at Englert. “Installing both can eliminate the need to remove old roofing materials at a high cost, eliminate any business interruption that can cut into profits, save up to 70% of the labor cost for preparation of an old roof and reduce dependency on fossil fuels and other direct energy sources while qualifying for a 30% federal tax credit,” he said. “Meanwhile, our contractors can expand into a new area of business, installing fully engineered re-roof framing systems that can meet all required slopes, eliminating roof leaks.
This is a win-win solution for everyone and we look forward to working with Roof Hugger in meeting our customers’ needs.”
“Years ago, retrofitting was an easy proposition-you put a Roof Hugger on every purlin line, screwed them down and you were good to go,” said Dale Nelson, president of Roof Hugger, Inc. “Today this process has become quite a bit more sophisticated,” he observed, noting “we look at purlin spacing, panel strength, wind zones, exposure categories, energy consumption, heat recovery and much more.
“Roof Hugger has been working with Englert for more than 15 year. Their professional sales staff understands how the systems work together to strengthen existing buildings, meet the tough new standards and do it in a cost effective way for clients,” said Nelson. “This agreement marks the beginning of an even closer blending of our systems to better serve current owners and contractors.”
Englert sales and architectural representatives will provide architects and contractors with the guidelines necessary to design and install Roof Hugger retrofit systems. Roof Hugger, Inc. has done extensive testing of its products by independent third party engineering and testing firms and makes that information available for review by design professionals for their usage.Top of Form
