Beauty + Functionality
Smartly designed with unmatched curb appeal, the patented* Eclipse Metal Roof System is strong and weathertight for new construction or re-roofing projects.
For the first time ever, you’ll benefit from a metal roof system that combines the structural integrity of a through-fastened roof with the sleek appearance of a standing seam metal roof. All at a lower cost than a standing seam metal roof cost.
*U.S. Patent No. 9,127,451 B1 | Canadian Patent No. 2,901,202
STRONG.
- The unique patented rib and snap-on batten system allows through-fastening of 36" wide panels.
- Through-fastened panels provide diaphragm strength not available with a standing seam roof.
- The shape and height of the major rib give the Eclipse Roof System panel superior strength.
SLEEK. NO LEAKS.
- The attractive roof batten snaps over the ribs, concealing the panel fasteners, creating bold clean lines.
- The batten conceals the metal roof fasteners making it weathertight roofing.
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE.
- Our patented 36" wide Eclipse Roof System panel installs more quickly and easily than the typical standing seam metal roofing panel.
- The Eclipse Roof System requires 1/3 to 1/2 the number of metal roofing panels and fewer metal fasteners than the typical standing seam roofing system.
- The 26 gauge Eclipse Roof System panel can be installed over open purlins. No roof deck is required, saving metal roofing material and metal roof installation costs.
METAL PANEL SPECIFICATIONS
What is oil canning?
Oil canning is the visible waviness in the flat areas of a metal panel and is not cause for rejection of the panel. The Metal Construction Association (MCA) explains oil canning in its Technical Bulletin, Oil Canning in Metal Roofs and Metal Wall Systems.
RE-ROOFING APPLICATION
Enhance your curb appeal by re-roofing your house or commercial building with the Eclipse Roof System. Its beautiful design features clean, sleek lines. Choose a maintenance-free roof that could last up to three times longer than asphalt shingles. While the initial cost of a metal roof is more than asphalt shingles, the overall cost of ownership of a metal roof is much lower.
