Course Description: AEC Daily: Insulated Metal Shakes: Performance & Sustainability with the Look of Cedar or Slate
Insulated metal shakes offer a three-dimensional appearance that is a long-lasting alternative to conventional standing seam metal, cedar, or slate roofing. The roof system installs easily, keeping labor costs down; it withstands extreme conditions and is low maintenance throughout its long life. This course describes how the high performance of 24-gauge Galvalume® steel, a PVDF coating, and EPS insulation is combined to form a durable, energy-efficient, completely recyclable roofing product with a classic look.
Compare the two-layer insulated metal shake system to similar roofing alternatives in terms of aesthetic appeal, durability, ease of installation and maintenance, and cost.
Discuss what contributes to insulated metal shake breathability; fire, hail, and wind resistance; air and moisture management; and long-term, energy-efficient, thermal performance.
Describe how insulated metal shakes provide a cool roof surface that is ideal for environmentally beneficial additions such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems.
Explain how insulated metal shakes reduce waste at installation and in future alterations and are fully recyclable at end of life.
