Case Study: Cornerstone Bible Church Renews Roof with Metal Shingles
When the old asbestos diamond shaped shingles began to fail on the Cornerstone Bible Church in Glendora, Calif., ATAS’ CastleTop was chosen as a replacement. The shape of the .032 aluminum panels, which resembled the original shingles in appearance, was an important factor in their choice of a replacement roofing material. They also loved the idea of the longevity and durability of a metal roof, along with the fire resistance of the panels, a concern due to the southern California location of the church.
The metal shingles are more environmentally friendly compared to some other roofing materials, as the aluminum contains recycled content and can be recycled at the end of its long service life. Dustyn Howard, president of Howard & Sons Inc. in Corona, Calif., stated that they removed the old asbestos shingles, and the CastleTop metal panels were installed over a solid wood deck. The panels and trims were purchased through RoofLine Supply and Delivery in Burbank, Calif.
