Completed in 2004, this project combined multiple systems including Merchant & Evans “Zip Rib” curved metal roof and wall panels, Hickman manufactured coping, Soprema roofing (3 ply w/ cap), and Top Coat roof coating which completed the 3 Star energy rating. This project was awarded a LEED Silver designation upon its completion.

The complexity of this building made the project challenging. The systems included metal roof panels, which were not only curved, but actually rounded over to form a barrel. The panel then turned back under, into a soffit and continued down the wall as exterior wall panels. They then had to taper in, creating an oval. The outer edges were rounded, forming a seam like that of a baseball, which also continued down to form the outer walls.

The Soprema roof was skewed at a 45 degree angle, while tapering down drastically to the southeast corner of the building, and ending in a point. The roof actually had speed humps built horizontally across it to slow the water down as it flowed to the drains. The project was full of abstract angles and difficult transitions between roof and wall sections.

The difficulty of the project made it both challenging and satisfying to complete as Cyclone roofing was able to demonstrate our many capabilities in this difficult installation.
