CSSBI SSF 35-11: Residential Steel Roofing Installation Considerations
Trimet Building Products
One of the most common questions asked by homeowners about the installation of their steel roof is whether an underlayment is needed. The answer to this question is “yes” in most situations. The underlayment plays a critical role in controlling the migration of condensation that might develop on the underside of the steel sheet thereby preventing accumulated water entering the building resulting in costly damage.
CSSBI SSF 48-19: Sheet Steel Building Products Fire Facts
Trimet Building Products
Introduction Questions occasionally arise about how sheet steel building products meet the requirements of the National and Provincial building codes related to fire protection. The objective of this Fact Sheet is to highlight certain building code requirements and show how sheet steel building products comply
CSSBI SSF 33-11: Wet Storage Staining of Galvanized and Galvannealed Steel Sheet
Trimet Building Products
Introduction Most cold formed steel building products, whether painted or unpainted, are manufactured from a sheet steel material that has some form of metallic coating applied. This metallic coating can be zinc (galvanized), zinc-iron alloy (galvanneal) or a 55% aluminum-zinc alloy (GalvalumeTM). The metallic coating is available in a range of thicknesses to provide the degree of corrosion protection and service life required. One of the concerns expressed by installers relates to the presence of wet storage staining on the products, how this staining impacts the long term performance, and what can be done to remove it. The purpose of this fact sheet is to address some of these issues, allay some fears, and give guidance on proper storage techniques.
CSSBI SSF 50-20: Is Rain on a Steel Roof Louder than on an Asphalt Roof?
Trimet Building Products
A question that homeowners often ask about steel roofing is “Will a steel roof be noisy when it rains?”. We’ve created this fact sheet to help answer that question. Residential steel roofing is available in many shapes and forms. The forming process provides not only strength, but when coupled with high quality build finishes, absorbs and deadens much of the noise. With the home insulation standards of today, you should not notice any difference in noise levels between roofing materials.
