Olympia Steel Buildings Introduces New Standing Seam Metal Roof System“Serious performance through superior design” is promised by the new Zeus-Shield™ Standing Seam Roof System introduced by Olympia Steel Buildings for their pre-engineered steel buildings and metal building systems. Zeus-Shield represents a new age of standing seam metal roofing with a number of advanced features making the Zeus-Shield metal roofing system the best in its class. The Zeus-Shield standing seam metal roof is suitable for steel buildings and metal buildings systems as well as for new and replacement roofs used for buildings of all types of building construction. Recent changes in wind uplift resistance requirements and testing methods have called for a new approach to roof performance. While other manufacturers continue to react to these changes with makeshift solutions, Zeus-Shield has invested in a totally new patented method and technology specifically designed to meet and exceed these new requirements. The breakthrough technology behind the Zeus-Shield seaming system makes the Zeus-Shield metal roof the best in its class for performance, reliability and cost efficiency. This innovative standing seam system carries full testing registration and certification to meet and exceed 165 MPH wind uplift performance with:
All three registrations are documented certified laboratory test results. This standing seam roof system can be coupled with certified installation to secure manufacturer’s weather-tightness warranty for periods of 5 to 20 years following initial installation. “The patented technology offers considerable benefits to the roof designer, the roof installer, the contractor and the building owner. All four benefit from Zeus-Shield’s dependability, superior performance and cost efficiency,” says Olympia Steel Buildings company president, Arnold Davis. The Zeus-Shield system sets itself apart from other standing seam metal roofs with steel panels that are designed to last, innovative clips that add stability while still allowing for thermal expansion and contraction. The system was designed with a patented seaming device to handle the most stringent uplift requirements. This tested and proven patented seam provides superior wind and weather protection under all roof loading conditions, ensuring that the installed roof will perform as designed and at a minimum cost. Standard industry wind tunnel tests divide wind loading on a roof into three zones of uplift. Unlike other roof systems, the Zeus-Shield patented standing seam roof system accommodates all three zones simply and efficiently by selecting one of three seaming solutions designed specifically to meet the uplift load for that zone. Unlike other standing seam roof systems, with Zeus-Shield, there is no changing of the purlin spacing, no changing of the panel thickness and no installation of external clips over the seam are required, resulting in lower overall costs for both materials and installation man-hours. “In almost every case, your entire roofing system is accomplished with one consistent purlin spacing, one panel size, and one clip throughout, making it easy, reliable and cost-efficient,” says Davis. “You are assured of superior performance and on-time completion with Zeus-Shield technology because the Zeus-Shield roof system eliminates the requirement during roof installation for simultaneous mechanical seaming because the panels interlock system allows for the final seaming to be completed at any time after the roof panels have been set in place and interlocked. Your bottom-line result is dependable roof performance.” About Zeus-Shield™ More About Olympia Steel Buildings ...
