1. What is CECI®
At Everlast, we
have been working on a way to protect the cut edge of our manufactured
steel panels. With the innovation of our heat forming™, and our commitment
to buying only the best steel on the market, we went beyond most boundaries
and found a way to protect the metal as a last step in our Evercure®
process. Our CECI® (cut-edge corrosion inhibitor) is a clear corrosion
inhibitor, which effectively decreases the corrosion rate of the factory
cut edge. This application is being applied to the factory cut edge of
all 3-foot Everlast II®, Everdrain®, PBR and “A” Panels. Because
the corrosion inhibitor applied is a clear product, end-users will see
virtually no sign of CECI® as it works to protect against and effectively
decrease corrosion rates, as proven through industry research. Our goal
at Everlast Roofing, Inc. is to incorporate cut-edge technological advances
to our products to ensure the highest standard of quality. CECI® is
just another step in our commitment to bringing the metal marketplace
only the finest materials in quality building components
2. What technical data and
research does Everlast do?
More Sophisticated
Testing - Today’s more sophisticated corrosion specifications often
call for exposing test specimens to a cyclic corrosion test (CCT) procedure.
Current research indicates that these tests give more realistic results
than conventional salt spray because the relative corrosion rate, structure
and morphology are similar to those seen in actual atmospheric exposures.
CCT procedures typically consist of repetitive cycles of salt fog, high
humidity and dry off at elevated temperature. The microprocessor controlled
Q-Fog can perform these complicated multifunctional tests automatically
in a single chamber.
Faster Results - Although
actual outdoor exposure is the ideal way to test metal products, real-time
testing does not allow us to show immediately if our “improved” formulas
are really an improvement. Q-Lab’s accelerated weathering and corrosion
lab can give us fast answers. With today’s laboratory testers, it is possible
to generate reliable weather ability data.
Third-Party Verification
- Q-Lab can act as an unbiased third party verification to our time-tested
metal panels.
3. What makes Synergy
a better paint system?
Special ceramic
and inorganic pigments give color stability to the Synergy Paint System.
It has proven, over time, to bring you:
-
Improved chalk resistance
-
Improved fade resistance
-
Improved gloss retention
-
Excellent color durability
- Good resistance to atmospheric
staining and dirt residue
4. Why are Everlast’s designs
stronger?
Everlast II®
is 38" wide and provides 36" of coverage. The major ribs are 9" apart
and approximately 3/4" high with two minor ribs in between that are a full
3/16" high. A stiffener is added to all major ribs which along with
the superior thickness of the steel makes this panel extremely strong.
This not only adds considerable durability to your building but also prevents
rippling during the construction process.
5. How do Everlast II®
panels lap better?
The panels which
interlock to create the attractive look of the bell top also provide for
the weathertight seal. They have a deep anti siphon groove which
protects against leakage.
6. Does Everlast Sell Direct?
Everlast does not
sell direct to the consumer. We sell to quality vendors throughout
the US. Please call 888.339.0059 to find a dealer near you.
7. Where do you produce and
deliver your products?
Our three production
plants are located in PA, ME and IN. Please call toll-free to hear about
our delivery areas.
8. Is lightning more likely
to strike a metal roof?
Metal roofs do not
attract lightning. The highest point in an area attracts lightning. If
lightning strikes a metal roof, the roof conducts and dissipates the electrical
charge. Metal roofs are also noncombustible and won't burn if struck.
9. Is a metal roof noisy
when it rains?
Metal is not louder
than any other roof. The metal roof panels are installed over paper or
plywood on the outside, with a layer of insulation and your ceiling on
the inside.
