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.
