Metal Roof Perimeter Components

Siplast Paraguard and Siplast Proform, specifically engineered and fabricated for use with Siplast Roof Systems, are top of the line metal roof edge coping and expansion joint systems. The multi-component Paraguard Systems are designed for easy installation and maximum water resistance.

Paraguard Expansion Joint Cover has a galvanized steel traveler cleat system designed and fabricated to allow for building (tensile and shear) movement beneath the metal cap cover.

Factory-applied Paraguard finishes are available in 27 standard colors, in both pre-finished aluminum and galvanized steel. Paraguard colors can also be customized.

Paraguard System Features

• A simple design that allows for ease of installation without special tools or equipment.
• A galvanized steel cant dam with pre-punched nailing holes for correct nail placement.
• No exposed fasteners.
• A specially designed metal guttered splice plate for smoother finish lines.
• Fascia available in formed aluminum or steel.
• Standard factory-formed miter corners and end caps.

Proform Product Features

• A continuous galvanized steel cleat with pre-punched holes for correct fastener placement.
• Pre-punched nailing holes in the nailer flange for correct nail placement.

Roof edge systems serve aesthetic as well as performance functions for a building. Aesthetically, they provide an attractive finish and are sometimes a key feature of the exterior of a building. Of course, no matter how aesthetically pleasing, a roof edge system must act primarily as an effective mechanical termination and transition between the roof and other building components such as parapet walls, vertical walls, corners, soffits, edge nailers, fascia boards, etc.

A high-performance roof edge system provides many benefits. It acts as a water seal at the edge. When it is also the means by which the membrane is attached to the building at the edge, it must exhibit sufficient holding power to prevent the membrane from pulling out at the edge under design wind conditions. Furthermore, the edge device assembly itself must not come loose in a design wind. A loose edge assembly not only endangers surrounding property and people, but it also allows the roof system to be vulnerable to blow-off, starting at the edge.

A complete vegetated roof system is the result of a well-planned design, careful selection of appropriate products to meet the installation requirements, and professional application.

The perimeter of the vegetated roof installation is a critical element in the system. Retention and separation of overburden, low maintenance, and aesthetics are all important factors when incorporating a vegetated roof perimeter component into the system.

When the ultimate in total perimeter design is required, Siplast offers Paraguard, the industry's premier metal roof perimeter components, specifically engineered and fabricated for use with Siplast ParaGREEN Vegetated Roof Systems. Siplast Paraguard Components are available in mill and anodized finishes as well as a variety of prefinished and spray Kynar colors. Custom colors may be matched individually.
