Since
1969, Butler has installed the MR-24 roof system
on over one billion square feet of buildings all over
the world. The MR-24 roof system is specified
more than any other standing seam roof.
Throughout
much of the country the built-up roof - and more recently,
the single-ply roof - have traditionally been accepted
as the standards for all types of buildings. At the
same time, owners have also traditionally accepted
the problems often associated with those roofs - leaks,
poor energy efficiency and constant maintenance costs.
These
problems cost owners millions of dollars in maintenance
or replacement costs plus losses of inventory, damaged
machinery and production time.
Now,
Owners and Architects are using standing seam roof
systems for solutions to these age-old roof problems.
Butler
roof systems move with expansion and contraction.
The MR-24 roof performs day after day because of its
ability to move with the forces of expansion and contraction.
A unique clip with a sliding stainless steel tab allows
the roof to move up to 2 1/2-inches as it reacts to
daily and seasonal temperature changes.
The
stainless steel tab is securely seamed into the MR-24
panels by the patented Roof Runner roll forming machine.
The portable Roof Runner forms a 180" full Pittsburgh
double-lock seam along the entire length of the panel.
(It's the same seam used to seal oil storage drums,
beverage cans and fuel tanks.)
Built-up
roofs fail because of their inability to deal with
Mother Nature. Temperature changes, freeze/thaw cycles
and standing water all combine to tear at built-up
roofs. The oils begin to evaporate; felts begin to
dry out; and as the roof begins to move, cracks and
splits appear and moisture enters the openings.
Single
ply roofs are experiencing deterioration problems caused
by environmental pollutants and weather-tightness problems
at joints (or laps) caused by material failures. And
unlike the MR-24 system, the soft surface of a single
ply roof is very susceptible to damage from roof traffic.
All
those problems prompt many owners to choose the MR-24
roof system when roof replacement is necessary.
NO
more flat roofs! Ponding water from flat
roof magnifies moisture problems and owners eventually
find water inside their buildings.
The
Butler slope build-up system can provide proper roof
slope on any existing roof surface. It's designed to
be simple, strong and very easy to erect - saving you
money on both materials and labor. The structural members
are all prepunched to align with the roof panels to
help assure proper installation.
Thousands
of owners have found you can install the MR-24 system
right over your existing roof - without interrupting
your business below. You'll begin to save immediately
on maintenance costs. And additional insulation can
be added as the roof is installed to help you save
even more on energy costs.
Energy
savings for long term cost benefits. The
MR-24 roof, combined with 2, 4, 6 or more inches
of fiberglass insulation stops the energy lost through
an old, badly deteriorated built-up roof system.
Butler
provides a total roof system. We know that
very few roofs are free of obstructions. And often
those obstructions can create places where water
can leak in and energy can leak out.
Butler
provides more predesigned solutions for roof conditions
because we know your roof must act as a total system.
You don't just want panels. clips and flashings - you
want a complete roof system that's weather tight.
No
matter how many penetrations and problems your current
roof has, the MR-24 roof system can give you weather
tight security and save long term energy and maintenance
costs for years to come.
Rest
assured with a 20-year warranty. Your MR-24
roof system can be warranted for weather-tightness
for up to 20 years. You'll find all the resources
of Butler stand behind the performance of the most
specified standing seam roof system in the industry.
You
're in good company with a Butler roof system. Tens
of thousands of companies and institutions have chosen
and continue to choose Butler roof systems to solve
existing built-up roof problems or new construction
needs. Join them in choosing the long-term, proven
roof solution.
