PROJECT
FEATURE
The Sykes Chapel and Center for Faith and Values at the
University of Tampa allows students the opportunity to balance
their educational and intellectual development with their per-
sonal and spiritual growth relative to life values and goals.
Funding for the project was provided in part by a lead gift
from the buildings namesakesJohn and Susan Sykeswho
embraced the vision of strengthening student development
through depth of character, strong values and an individual
sense of spirituality.
The unique structure is one of the most architecturally signifi-
cant buildings at the University of Tampa, a private, secular
university serving 6,500 students from 50 states and approxi-
mately 100 countries. Located in the geographical center of
campus, the chapel/center serves student organizations with
religious and/or spiritual affiliations, the
overall student population and the local
Tampa community. An adjacent planned
quadrangle plaza will be utilized for a wide
range of campus events and student gath-
erings.
The 15,000 sq. ft. structure includes a
main hall with seating for 260 people for
lectures, ceremonies, discussions and musi-
cal performances including those with its
55 foot tall custom-built organ. In addition,
the facility offers meeting rooms, two medi-
tation rooms and a gallery. Brick, high-performance glass,
granite and RHEINZINK comprise the primary materials of
the buildings exterior palette.
Design for the project was provided by tvsdesign, Atlanta. The
chapel/center was designed to elicit spiritual, sensory and
emotional responses by the building users, said Robert Balke,
principal. The building interior is shaped by light and sound.
Like two cupped hands held slightly apart, light enters from
above and from the east. Daylight and music are reflected and
diffused by the warm, curving interior forms of the undulating
wooden walls.
The project demonstrates the highest attention to design and
the discerning use of quality materials in order to give form to
the Universitys vision, Balke added.
Three different RHEINZINK products were utilized.
Approximately 17,500 sq. ft. of 0.8mm/22-gauge RHEINZINK
Double Lock Standing Seam Panels clad the roof.
Approximately 6,500 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK 1.2mm/18-gauge
Vertical Reveal Panels clad the faade and soffits. And 3,000
sq. ft. of zinc composite material (ZCM) were used on the fas-
cia and canopies. All RHEINZINK was finished in Pre-weath-
ered Blue Gray.
Early in the design process, stainless steel was considered for
the roof as a reference to the stainless steel minarets that
grace the historic Plant Hall that symbolizes the University. But
RHEINZINK was selected because of its visual softness and
ability to diffuse light as required by the design.
The durability and sustainability of RHEINZINK was also an
important factor. We see this as an enduring, 100-year build-
ing, Balke said. The self-healing nature of zinc and the fact
that it will patina over time was important to us. The building
will look even better as it ages.
The standing seam profile was also a key factor in the design
according to David Fulmer, senior associate and member of
the tvsdesign team. The scale of the material, the rhythm and
the texture help reinforce the shape of the curve, Fulmer said.
The form is delineated by the ribs of the standing seam pro-
file.
The University has many traditional elements and the
RHEINZINK helps bridge the contemporary
with the traditional, said Fulmer.
The RHEINZINK applications were
fabricated by MetalTechUSA,
Peachtree City, GA. Installation
of the RHEINZINK panels was
done by General Works of
Tampa and Morrell
Architectural Systems, Inc.
Both installers are located
in Tampa.
The construction manager
for the project was
Peter R. Brown
Construction, Inc.,
Tampa. In addition
to tvsdesign, other
members of the
design team included
Walter P. Moore and
Associates, Inc.,
Atlanta; Anston-
Greenlees, Inc.,
Tampa; and
Kirkegaard
Associates, Chicago.

Sykes Chapel & Center
For Faith & Values
Chicago
Theological
Seminary
The Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) enjoys a proud legacy of
progressive education and preparation for future religious leaders
in a multitude of ministries. The 150-year-old institution is located
on the campus of The University of Chicago and is affiliated with
the United Church of Christ.
With its proud past, CTS is also poised to continue its mission well
into the 21st century and beyond. Helping to ensure that it does is
a new 80,000 sq. ft. CTS building. It was designed by Chicagos
Nagle Hartray Architecture. Incorporated into the design of the
building was 11,000 sq. ft. of Dri-Design pressure-equalized rain-
screen wall panels. Formed from .080 aluminum with Harvest
Gold and Cashmere Pearl paint finishes, the panels were installed
in both horizontal and vertical arrangement.
The Nagle Hartray design team, led by Dirk
Danker, design partner, emphasized asymmetry
with balance as a key formal strategy in develop-
ing the massing of the modern structure. Other
design goals included imparting an informality of
character on the building, encouraging engage-
ment with both the campus and immediate neigh-
borhood through the use of transparency and
multiple entries on both campus and neighbor-
hood sides of the building and finally, creating a unique, distinctive
architectural personality.
According to project architect Scott Cryer, You will find many
aspects of the building to be defined by asymmetry complemented
with balance. We found that asymmetrical massing provided an
interesting contrast not only to typical religious iconographic archi-
tecture but also to large portions of the architecture found on the
neighboring campus. The buildings mass consists of three key ele-
ments: a vertical, steel-frame tower form at the northeast corner,
the horizontal metal panel bar form that wraps the west side on
the second and third floors, and the cylindrical metal and glass
drum on the top floor.
The Dri-Design panels clad both the horizontal bar element and
the cylindrical drum and were installed in a staggered bond pattern
in both locations. The coursing of the metal panels and the brick
is a designed random pattern, Cryer said. Additionally, the mul-
lion pattern of the curtainwalls and the spacing of the punched
openings are all similarly random. This designed randomness at a
more detailed scale helps to support the asymmetry and balance
which is occurring at a more global scale, while also creating a
sense of quirkiness, imparting the distinctive personality of the insti-
tution within. These concepts helped us to define the key descriptive
elements at a variety of scales throughout the project.
Installation of the Dri-Design panels was done by Tuschall
Engineering, Burr Ridge, IL. Tuschall was involved with the project
through schematic design, budgeting and installation as the suc-
cessful bidder, according to Brendan Nolan, project manager. The
project started as a natural metals job but we worked with the
design team to stay within budget by using a painted finish to deliv-
er the desired look, Nolan said. The greatest challenge was the
upper cylinder which required segmented panels to achieve the
radius design.
The panels on the upper level were installed vertically. The lower
level, horizontally installed panels utilize three different panel
heights and integrate with masonry. Dri-Design offers a high
value, flexible design system that is quick and easy to install, said
Nolan.
LEED Silver certification is being sought for the building which
includes numerous sustainable strategiesthe most visible sustain-
able feature being the 4,000 square foot vegetative roof. Other
green aspects include high recycled content of materials, high-effi-
ciency HVAC and water-efficient landscaping.

Life Church is an evangelical church with 15 locations throughout
five states. With a weekly attendance of 46,000, the church is listed
as the second largest in the United States.
An integral part of the interior design of each location is the wave
wall which adds color and vibrancy to the community areas. The
contemporary feature has become a standard design component
for new campus construction as well as a retrofit addition to exist-
ing locations.
Approximately 470 linear feet of Flex-C Arch was used for the lat-
est installation at the Life Church in Oklahoma City, OK.
Installation of the flexible arch was done by Mitchell Acoustics &
Drywall, Inc., Oklahoma City. The framing contractor does work
throughout the Life Church network and is a regular user of Flex-
Ability Concepts products.

Although the wave wall, as we call it, has become somewhat of a
routine installation, it does evolve and adapt to best fit each particu-
lar church location, said Tricia Mitchell, president and owner of
Mitchell Acoustics. We use conduit to outline the wave lines for
client approval and then frame it with the flexible track. Our guys
have become very familiar with using Flex-C Trac and Flex-C Arch.
At this point, I dont think they would know any other way to go. Its
faster and we certainly get a better outcome. Its literally the only
way to do it.
The Flex-Ability Concepts distributor on the project was Building

Historical buildings are central to the
character and culture of Canada.
Safeguarded at the federal, provin-
cial and municipal levels, historical
sites are granted special designa-
tions that dictate the manner in
which they must be preserved and
restored. In addition to the strong
mandates of official heritage conser-
vation, owners and interested parties
often have a strong desire to pre-
serve the historical integrity of build-
ings both architecturally and aes-
thetically. Unfortunately, owners and
other interested parties have conflict-
ing contemporary needs for eco-
nomical solutions, in addition to the
need to use building materials that
are sustainable, durable and now,
"green". Often, there is a conflict
between the desire to preserve and
the desire to provide for the future of
the building.
This conflict pres-
ents itself when
specifiers need to
choose roofing
materials for his-
torical buildings.
Because of their
prominence in a
building structure,
roofs are central
to a buildings architectural charac-
ter. On a practical level, of course,
roofs are also essential to the pro-
tection of a building. A well-
designed and installed roof will pro-
tect a historical building and pre-
serve it for decades. In contrast, mis-
guided choices in roofing materials
and applications will accelerate a
buildings deterioration.
When choosing replacement materi-
als and applications, contemporary
thinking leads specifiers to architec-
tural metal for historical roofing -
usually copper or galvanized zinc -
because they are inherently sustain-
able, durable and "green". Problems
arise, however, when copper or zinc
were not used on the original struc-
ture, but using original materials is
either environmentally undesirable,
impractical (as in outdated installa-
tion methods or materials such as
tin-plated or terne metal), or not
suitable for future preservation (due
to high maintenance costs of the
original application, for example).
When approaching the restoration
or preservation of a historical struc-
ture, it is useful to follow The
Standards and Guidelines for the
Conservation of Historic Places,
which is a pan-Canadian set of
conservation principles and guide-
lines. While The Standards provide
specific guidelines for rehabilitation
and restoration, they also outline a
decision-making process that can
help specifiers successfully specify
roofing materials and applications
different from the original.
The first stage in the process is to
understand the historical place,
which in part means to understand
a structures heritage value.
Heritage value consists not only of
a buildings cultural, aesthetic and
historical importance, but also its
character-defining elements, forms,
location, spatial configurations, uses
and cultural associations or mean-
ings. A modern sensitivity to conser-
vation inspires and instructs interest-
ed parties to understand the original
roofing material and application in
order to preserve the historical
integrity of the original structure.
Research into the roofs history is an
important and necessary element of
this process. Sometimes documenta-
tion and photographs exist, but more
often a physical inspection of the

The Episcopal Church of Nativity, Huntsville,
Alabama, USA, was built in the Gothic Revival style
in 1859. One-hundred and fifty years later, the
Church was faced with a deteriorating roof that
threatened to damage the historical building. Efforts
to determine the original roofing material specified
by renowned architect Frank Wills were made, but
little or no documentation was found. In addition,
several intervening repairs masked the original
materials and application. Working within U.S. his-
torical preservation guidelines, which are similar to
those in Canada, the Church was able to support
the installation of a new copper rauten tile roof.
Both the choice of metal, and the installation prac-
tice (rauten tile) were deemed acceptable alterna-
tives to the suspected original (stamped terne metal)
because the modern solution matched as closely as
possible the scale, texture and coloration of the his-
toric roofing material. Photos of this project are
shown throughout this article.
Historical Case Study
In Copper
roof is necessary. While wood, slate and tile
were all used in historical buildings, tin-plate
iron, or tin roofing was used extensively in
Canada in the 18th century. Often, however,
research on a historical building will be
inconclusive, meaning that specifiers must
rely on the history of buildings in the area in
general, for example, or must specify solu-
tions that mimic, but cannot re-create, the
original roof material and application.
Specifiers who want to use an alternative to
historical metal roofing materials often
choose copper, which may or may not mimic
the aesthetic of the origi-
nal, or galvanized zinc
(which is closer to the look
of tin-plated iron or terne
metal, for example). In
doing so, it is important to
align the new application
with the second stage in
the decision-making
process, which is to review
the general standards for
preservation, rehabilitation and restoration
set forth in The Standards. Focusing on pre-
serving the character defining elements of
a structure, the general standards are helpful
to a roofing specifier.
As already discussed, due to the prominence
of a roof to a structure, and due to the
important role roofing plays in the future
integrity of a structure, roofs are often char-
acter defining elements. Therefore, it will be
important when choosing alternative roofing
materials to stress alignment with the build-
ings original character by specifying alterna-
tive materials that match as closely as possi-
ble the scale, texture and coloration of the
historic roofing material.
Another important element of meeting The
Standards is to plan for appropriate and sus-
tainable use. In the case of historical metal
roofing, future maintenance of the roof will
be a major issue in determining whether or
not to use alternative materials. Most histori-
cal roofs have been replaced several times,
and will be replaced in the future. Therefore,
preservation of character defining elements
must be weighed against the sustainability
and durability of the roofing material and
application, which play a big role in future
maintenance and repair costs. In specifying
new materials or applications, it may be
important to communicate that the search
for alternative roofing materials is not a new
problem. Throughout the history of the build-
ing, for example, it may have been neces-
sary to make changes to the original struc-
ture in order to properly preserve the her-
itage value of the structure and ensure its
future.
Copper was chosen, for example, for the
restoration of Torontos Old City Hall in the
early 1990s. The original roof was clay-tile,
replaced in the early 1920s with a light
gauge copper in order to reduce mainte-
nance costs. While the light-gauge copper
was much different than the clay-tile, the
copper application was consistent with the

buildings original character, and greatly
improved the buildings viability by reducing
maintenance costs. The modern restoration
continued the historical use of copper, but at
a heavier gauge to extend the roofs
longevity. The high cost of historical restora-
tion makes the longevity of a roof an impor-
tant factor in choosing new roofing material.
In North America, there are many structures
that feature copper that has been in place
for over 200 years. In Europe, copper roofs
have been in service for more than 300 or
400 years.
High maintenance costs related to tin roof-
ing, for example, do not make it a wise
choice for modern preservation efforts. Tin
roofing deteriorates when the coating deteri-
orates and the iron rusts. Historically, under-
coating of tin roofing which may delay
deterioration was not used, and the sur-
faces may not have been consistently re-
painted. The most obvious choices for main-
tenance-free metal appli-
cations are copper and
zinc. Due to their durabili-
ty and sustainability, cop-
per and zinc are excellent
investments in the past
and the future. Their value
is realized by their
longevity.
In addition to the material,
it is important to be able to preserve the his-
torical integrity of buildings through the use
of similar installation techniques and craft
practices (standing seam, rauten tile,
replacement of dormers and decorative ele-
ments). This is particularly challenging
because the parties have to preserve the his-
tory while implementing more contemporary
installation techniques. Historical craft prac-
tices may be too expensive to follow or have
been superseded by modern improvements.
In this regard, it is important to find modern
craftsmen capable of reproducing historic
details.
By carefully weighing the interests of all par-
ties, and by following the decision-making
process of The Standards, specifiers can be
successful in employing new and different
roofing materials and applications to historic
buildings. The key is to emphasize a com-
promise between the past and the future by
finding a solution that values a structures
history while ensuring its place in Canadas
cultural landscape for years and years to
come.
ABOUT COPPER
Copper enjoys a long history in world cul-
ture, due to its aesthetic appeal and durabil-
ity. Alchemists associated coppers beautiful
red-gold metal with Venus in part because
the first mirrors were made from this materi-
al. During excavations in Egypt, 5000 year
old copper mines were found - still opera-
tional. Together with gold, silver and tin, it
was one of the first metals to be worked by
humanity about 9000 years ago. Ships built
in the 15th century were covered in copper
plates to protect them from algae infestation.
Today, copper is the metal of choice for
many historical restoration and preservation
projects throughout North America.

Mario Lallier, LLC employees have installed all three of Metal Plus, LLC
roofing Brackets and the necessary staging. These three roofing brackets;
The Ultimate Bracket, The Big Boys, and The Roofers Helper, were
specifically designed and invented for Standing Seam Metal Roofs. The
installation of all three of these brackets is in preparation for Litchfield Hills
Solar Company. They will utilize these brackets to tie in all their necessary
solar wiring into the Standing Seam Metal Roof, thus creating an integrated
system. After, the metal roofing company will return to the roof and install the
ridge cap before the brackets are dismantled and removed. This process goes
smoothly and efficiently due the brackets one-handed quick-release design.
The project went safely and efficiently due in a great part to Metal Plus, LLC standing seammetal roofing brackets. The owner of Metal
Plus, LLC, Mario Lallier owns a Metal Roofing company and actually designed and invented all three of the brackets. Not only did the
brackets increase safety, comfort and productivity for the installation of the metal roof but also, for the installation of the solar.

Who thought inspiration could come in the form of a
steel building? Kenneth Joyner did. When the CEO of
J&J Contractors was hired to finish a long-range
growth plan for NorthPark Church in Meridian, Miss.,
he turned to Ceco Building Systems. The end product
was a stunning worship facility that not only serves the
congregation, but has struck a chord with visitors.
J&J Contractors in nearby Collinsville, Miss., con-
structed the churchs original facility. For this latest
project, designed to accommodate the churchs
growing congregation and multiple ministries, Joyner
brought in Ceco because metal was the most eco-
nomical choice for this type structure.
Founded in 1956, the non-denominational Christian
evangelical church has over 400 members. This sec-
ond 19,000 square foot addition is the completion of
a 15-year plan which included the relocation of the
church in 1999 to the northeast part of the city. We
started in June 2010, commented Joyner. The con-
gregation had their first service in the new sanctuary
on April 22 of this year (2012).
Just as J&J has worked closely with NorthPark Church
for well over a decade through two major construc-
tion projects, J&J worked closely with Ceco to meet
the needs of their customer. Ceco has been serving
the needs of its customers and their clients for 65
years, said Ceco President Roger Burlingame. At
Ceco, we focus on four vital factors of success: cus-
tomer relationships, superior product quality, excellent
service and competitive pricing. Customers look to
Ceco when they are thinking about their construction
projects.
The work of J&J and Ceco has made our church a
spiritual center for our community, commented
Senior Pastor Earl Wheatley Jr. The physical state-
ment of our new structure reaches out to people all
hours of the day and night.
Burlingame said, Ceco frequently works with our
Ceco Builders and church customers to meet their
specific needs. Each is different, and Ceco is up to
the challenge of helping design and erect churches
from small chapels to the most complex and unique
designs. It was a privilege to work with J&J
Contractors and NorthPark Church.
Using over 164 tons of steel, J&J Contractors, who
designed the project and served as metal erector,
constructed the 19,000 square-foot sanctuary and
satellite buildings using Cecos architectural standing
seam roofing. The roof color is Ceco Classic Green
in a long-life paint.
The new facility consists of a sanctuary, eight class-
rooms, two nurseries, a cry room, four restrooms, a
storage area, a chapel, and a choir practice room
and music room. These new buildings were connect-
ed to the
existing 22,000 square feet of buildings. During con-
struction, the congregation held services in the multi-
purpose building.
Ceco District Sales Manager Roger Shivers explained
the intricacy of the sanctuary, designed with fan-type
seating. This was a very complex project. It involved
a high roof, a low roof and buildings extending off
the sanctuary. Shivers quipped, There is not one
square corner in the building. The sanctuary roof
height is 52 feet at the peak. One of the three large
stained glass windows stands a lofty 30-feet high.
A unique and somewhat difficult-to-construct aspect
of the project was the construction of three large
crosses on top of the sanctuary. The difficulty was in
the structural considerations because of the particular
area where the crosses were located.
Another unique aspect of the new NorthPark Church
is the main entrance, according to Shivers. Its not a
traditional front entrance. Its a drive-through, and its
built recessed into the connector between the old and
new entrances.
Looking back, though, Shivers commented on the
end result. Even with the challenging construction,
the buildings erected wonderfully. I credit Cecos
engineering and detailing staff for their attention to
detail and their relevant experience with worship
building design.
Wheatley praised the project team. J&Js design is
striking, he commented, and Cecos ability to pro-
vide the materials needed has been a dream come
true for our congregation. Our entire community is
impressed with the new worship center addition to
our facility. The sanctuary, new nurseries, additional
classrooms, music ministry suite and chapel have
come together beautifully to help us reach more peo-
ple in our community.
Wheatley added that the building is already serving
as an inspirational area. We recently hosted a med-
ical seminar, he said. One participant, from anoth-
er part of the state, wrote us, thanking us for opening
our facility for training. He wrote, The day turned out
to be more than a learning event for me. I had the
chance to enter the new part of your building, and it
was a spiritual event for me. The beauty of your sanc-
tuary and the solitude of the chapel ministered to me
in a powerful way. If I lived closer I would be worship-
ing with you soon. Cecos work with us has had
more than material benefits our new structure is
ministering spiritually as well!

The history of the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Gluckstadt,
Mississippi dates back more than a century to when the rural
parish served a handful of people. For the past 50 years, the
congregation used the same building but growth required the
churchs current leaders to find a bigger place to fit their needs.
The new church, recently completed, was designed by the late
Michael Barranco and his colleague, Scott Carpenter. It reflects
the functional elements of a modern urban church design but
with a look that harkens back to earlier daysparticularly its
board and batten siding and standing seam metal roof.

Metal Roofing Helps Growing Church
Remember Its Rural Roots
story continued . . . Metal Roofing Helps Growing Church Remember Its Rural Roots
We tried to nail together a church layout with all the characteristics of modern day worship but still reflect its origins as a rural type of
church, notes Carpenter. The result is a traditional look that pays homage to its origins but also incorporates elements of modern worship
including lots of green space and courtyards and a large gathering space within the building. Today the complex houses a sanctuary, a family
life facility and classrooms. Sustainability was also an issue, notes Carpenter, pointing to the use of Hardyboard for the walls and standing
seam metal panels for the roof.
For the roof the architect chose 21,500 square feet of Englert 2000 Series profile roofing, fabricated and installed by Mid-State Roofing
Company, Pearl, MS. The roof panel are 18 wide. The roof color is Slate Gray.
Malouf Construction of Greenwood, Mississippi was the general contractor.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION
SECURITY FOR TODAYS COMMERICAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Get grounded.
ECLE s architectural finials are an elegant
complement to cupolas, dormers, ridge
edges, turrets, pavilions and gazebos.
Designed for both residential and
commercial applications, our custom-
crafted, solid bronze and aluminum finials
enhance any building. Whether it is new
construction or historic preservation, an
ECLE finial will add just the right touch of
elegance.
A properly installed lightning protection
system safe-guards a business
structurally and also protects property,
inventory, electronic equipment and
personnel from the destructive forces of
lightning. As with fire alarms, sprinklers,
and security systems, a lightning
protection system provides the peace of
mind that comes from knowing that a
potentially catastrophic problem has been
dealt with proactively.
Since 1984, ECLE has been a
leading supplier of quality, UL-listed
lightning protection components.
ECLEs products are listed and
labeled for the UL Master Label
Certificate Program for Lightning
Protection. Specifiers rely on the UL
Master Label to ensure compliance
for individual lightning protection
installations. ECLE products also
meet or exceed the requirements for
lightning protection established by
the National Fire Protection
Association and the Lightning
Protection Institute.
A single bolt of lightning can carry over 30 million volts of electricity.
Lightning can rip through roofs, explode brick and concrete and ignite fires.
In addition to causing structural damage, a single bolt of lightning can wreak
havoc with computers, electronic equipment and appliances. Every year in
the United States the number of homes struck by lightning increases.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, residential lightning losses
exceed a billion dollars annually and represent close to five percent of all
residential insurance claims. A lightning protection system is intended to last
the life of the structure it protects and typically only requires maintenance if
a home is changed structurally or mechanically. Such changes might include
a new roof, an addition, a new electrical service or the installation of a
satellite dish.

Whirlwind Steel Buildings, a metal building manufacturer head-
quartered in Houston, TX, together with Crain Group LLC, a con-
struction management firm, were key players in the completion of a
10,000 square foot addition to the Clear Lake Chinese Church in
Webster, TX.
Teaming up with Whirlwind, Crain Group LLC succeeded in provid-
ing the client with a functionally upgraded, aesthetically pleasing
metal church facility. Community leaders anticipate that the
church will eventually open up the new facility to neighbor-
hood groups for use as a community center.
Whirlwind Steel Buildings manufactured the metal
church building for the project. The 60 x 124 x
24 addition is topped with Whirlwinds 24ga
Kynar painted Super Seam Plus standing seam
roofing system.
The Crain Group relied on stone, stucco, canopied areas and inte-
rior building upgrades to provide the Clear Lake Chinese Church
with a highly modern usable space. The client envisioned a sport-
ing arena as well as food service and classroom areas. With the
help of the construction manager the building morphed into a mix
of open and enclosed spaces with ample room for basketball
courts and a stage for theatre productions. Special lighting makes
the space instantly usable for semi-professional stage productions.
Combined with the interior upgrades that include special lighting
fixtures, granite, stainless steel and updated rest room facilities,
the center is sure to be much sought after by local community
groups.

Everyone is celebrating the new Drexel Metals
Galvalume-finish roof on the picturesque Celebration
Church located in Kissimmee, FL. The DMC 150SS
profile used for the roof is Drexel Metals traditional
mechanically seamed metal roof system. It is applica-
ble to both light-duty commercial and residential use,
and is installed over a solid wood deck with a mini-
mum slope of 2:12. The architectural profile also
allows for radius applications.
The concealed fasteners and floating clip system of
the DMC 150SS system allow for thermal movement
and minimize the appearance of oil canning. The
product is approved for use on projects that require a
weathertightness warranty.
The town of Celebration was created by the Walt
Disney Company and has grown from humble begin-
nings to now boasting 9,000 residents. Many of its
original homes and buildings are topped with metal
roofing, with the church continuing that tradition. The
Drexel Metals roof was picked to not only blend with
the character of the town, but because it could protect
the church and its congregation for many years to
come.
Drexel Metals partnered with Collis Roofing, located
in Longwood, FL to complete this structure. Collis
Roofing selected Drexel Metals because of their supe-
rior warranties and the dedication to each project
Drexel Metals undertakes. Brian McCarthy, the metal
roofing department manager for Collis Roofing, said,
Drexel Metals backs their products, which is one of
the biggest things for us. We can rely on Drexel
Metals at every turn which gives us the peace of mind
we need.
In addition to fabricating and installing the roof, Collis
Roofing also used Drexel Metals flat sheet to fabricate
the church's crosses.
This is a perfect example of how versatile Drexel
Metals is, noted a Drexel Metals news release about
the project. We offer a complete system of metal
roofing supplies, equipment, and support. Our prod-
ucts can be utilized in many different ways and we
provide everything the contractor needs
to successfully complete each
project with ease. Our products are also backed by
unbeatable warranties to give the architect, building
owner, and contractor peace of mind.The town of
Celebration was created by the Walt Disney Company
and now has 9,000 residents. The Celebration
Church is a place for the small community to come
together. The Drexel Metals roof will cover and watch
over the church as it continues to grow in the years to
come.

Located on a former wheat field in Brighton,
Colorado, is Harvest Fellowship. This 17,280
square foot multi-span church facility, including a
sanctuary and gazebo, features metal systems
from Metallic Building Company.
The structure combines a unique mixture of tex-
tures, including the use of stucco-embossed steel
PBR panels, faux stone columns and metal roof-
ing. The building also utilizes PBR panels on the
endwalls and sidewalls. Metallics thru-fastened
PBR panels offer an attractive, even-shadowed
appearance while the area between the major
panel ribs is reinforced by minor ribs.
In addition to the pre-engineered metal building,
Metallics 24-gauge Double-Lok standing seam
roofing system was chosen for its longevity, ease
of installation and minimal long-term mainte-
nance requirements. Double-Lok was an ideal
choice for this project as its knock-in bridging sta-
bilizes and strengthens the purlin system, enabling
it to endure high-force winds - an important con-
sideration in light of the 60 mph spring winds
experienced in Colorado. The roof system was
finished in a Hunter Green (Signature 300)
coating, which is formulated with a Kynar 500
polyvinylidene fluoride resin and modified with a
proprietary resin for toughness, color retention,
film flexibility and durability. The roof slopes on
this project were 4:12 and 2:12.
The project included the following team members:
the general contractor was Clyde Roy, Brighton,
Colorado; the architect was Mary Falconburg,
Brighton, Colorado; the builder was D&S Steel
Buildings Company, (www.ds-steelbldgs.com),
Greeley, Colorado; the erector/roofing contractor

The shingled roof of the Community United
Methodist Church in Circleville, Ohio had been
leaking in multiple areas for years. As a tempo-
rary fix, additional layers of shingles were
installed. But even with three layers of shingles
on the roof, the leaking continued. The church
congregation, frustrated with the constant leak-
ing, rallied together to raise money for a more
permanent solution. The goal of this project
was to provide the church with a high-perform-
ance roofing solution which included stand-
ing seam metal from The Garland Company,
Inc. - with guaranteed watertight protection.
The constant leaking over the years had dam-
aged some of the structural wood trusses,
requiring a complete roof tear off and subse-
quent repair of the wood decking. To achieve
the churchs performance objectives, .040-inch
aluminum standing seam metal panels were
installed on the roof, providing the durability
and leak-free protection needed for a long-
term solution.
The Garland standing seam metal system was
chosen for this project for its versatile design
possibilities and its ability to create a watertight
system. Due to the various changes in plane on
the churchs roof, many of the tough details
had to be field cut on site to ensure watertight
protection.
The 16-inch, .040-inch aluminum Portland
Stone R-Mer Span panels lead the industry in
windstorm and water penetration resistance,
guaranteeing 30 years of watertight protection.
Although the panels varied in length from 62-
feet at their longest to 5-feet at their shortest,
each was a continuous panel with no endlaps,
providing further watertight protection.
As a single full-service manufacturer, Garland
supplied both the 10,000 sq. ft of metal roof-
ing as well as the 4,100 sq. ft. modified por-
tion of this high-performance roofing solution
which is covered by a 30-year warranty.
The metal roofing contractor/installer was
Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal of

In the late 1990s, the historic Central Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama, faced a common problem: a growing congregation and need for
more space. Like many historic churches, Central Presbyterian is located in a downtown area, landlocked with no available real estate to expand. So,
the church began to look around the neighborhood for a suitable property to purchase.
Across the street from the church is the Cooper House, one of the oldest homes in the Twickenham Historical District, which was added to the National
Register of Historic Places on January 4, 1973. The Cooper House, one of the very few antebellum structures of frame construction to survive the Civil
War, suited the Central Presbyterian Churchs need for expanded parking, office space and storage, but needed extensive renova-
tions, all of which would require approval of the Huntsville/Madison County Historical Society.
The first renovations to the Cooper House did not require the church to make extensive external changes.
Instead, the church graveled the back yard to increase church member parking, painted the exterior,
and renovated the inside of the house for office space and storage. While the Historical Society
would not allow the church to demolish the home and build a new, larger structure, they
did allow the conversion of a back porch into an additional space. Now called
the Family Life Center, the renovated Cooper House fits the churchs goals
for expanded ministries, while preserving the integrity of the histori-
cal structure.
A major challenge to the exterior renova-
tion was the need for a new roof

and rainwater system, which were required to be both
consistent with the Cooper Houses historic style and built
with quality, durable materials professionally installed to
last well into the future. Historically, the roof of the
Cooper House was terne metal, painted gray. To maintain
the historical look of the house, Hays Buchanan, the
architectural firm managing the site, chose natural
VMZINC for its historically-correct gray color,
strength and durability. Hays Buchanan
designed a standing seam roofing sys-
tem with stainless steel ridge caps,
and specified the European-
style gutter and seamless
weld downspout
manufactured
in natural
VMZINC by Ornametals Manufacturing of Cullman,
Alabama. The church and the Huntsville/Madison County
Historical Society readily approved the application as con-
sistent with the buildings historical architecture.
The entire roofing system was designed to be fabricated
and installed in natural VMZINC. The 11,000 square-
foot standing seam roof has numerous valleys, with a
chimney cap and stainless steel ridge vent system. The
rainwater system, also in natural VMZINC, consists of six
hundred feet of 6-inch, half-round gutter and 500 feet of
4-inch, seamless-weld downspouts, manufactured by
Ornametals Manufacturing. Accessorizing the gutter and
downspout system are a full line of natural VMZINC
accessories, including gutter hangers, downspout brack-
ets, elbows, and a unique star outlet design made for
easy installation that does not require soldering.
VMZINC is architectural zinc manufactured by
Umicore Building Products. Headquartered in
Raleigh, NC, Umicore is one of the worlds
leading manufacturers of zinc building
materials for roofs and walls.
Elegant and time-tested, VMZ-
INC is a solid zinc-cop-
per-titanium alloy
that has been
used for
roofs
and facades for almost 200 years. While VMZINC is
often used in contemporary applications, the Cooper
House project is a perfect example of why VMZINC is a
natural choice for historic restoration: the color of natural
VMZINC is historically correct and aesthetically pleas-
ing, but also durable and made to last. VMZINC is sus-
tainable with a long lifespan. In addition, production tech-
niques maintain the unique look of natural metal, but with
consistent colors. In contrast to copper, for example, natu-
ral VMZINC will not develop a drastically different pati-
na; rather it weathers over years to form a beautifully tex-
tured gray patina.
We are quite proud of the Cooper House, said Lisa
Mendyke of Central Presbyterian, And thank Ornametals
Manufacturing for its part in making it such a beautiful
renovation.
Ornametals Manufacturing is the only U.S. manufacturer
of EuroGutterUSA, a complete roof drainage system, fea-
turing European-style half-round gutter, with a traditional
bead and a rear inverse cant that - together with properly
installed roof flashing - protects fascia board from deterio-
ration. For the Cooper House, Ornametals manufactured
the roof drainage system in natural VMZINC, but other
materials are available, including QUARTZ-ZINC,
ANTHRA-ZINC, and copper. Natural VMZINC is the
original zinc, shiny and smooth when it comes out of the
mill. QUARTZ-ZINC provides a pre-weathered gray that
mimics the matte patina that zinc naturally develops over
time, while ANTHRA-ZINC is a rich, charcoal black.
Ornametals also provides a full line of roof
drainage accessories, and specializes in stan-
dard and custom ornaments.
