Factory Punching
Proper roof panel alignment is crucial to weathertight performance and the ability to successfully install closures, roof accessories and trim. All roof panels and structural members of the MR-24® roof system are factory punched to ensure proper alignment.
MR-24 Roof System Clip
The roof clip holds the standing-seam roof panels to the supporting structural members. We designed our clip to allow the roof to move freely as panels expand and contract in response to daily and seasonal temperature changes.
Weathertight Seams
The MR-24 roof system features the tightest seam available today. Its 360-degree Pittsburgh double-lock seam is the same seam used on beverage cans. The MR-24 roof system is the only one on the market where the critical final 180 degrees of the seam are mechanically field-rolled to ensure weathertightness.
Staggered Panel Splices
Many of our competitors join four panel corners at the same location, making it almost impossible to seal and keep weathertight. We stagger splices, resulting in a roof system more impervious to leaks.
Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® Finishes
The standard paint finish on all our painted roof panels, wall panels and trims has a 25-year warranty protecting against blistering, peeling, cracking and chipping. It’s available in a variety of colors, including many that meet the reflectance and emittance standards established by the energy codes for “cool roofs”.
Flexible Ridges
Our unique ridge uses a single exposed fastener for every 50 in our competitions’ designs. Our approach best reduces the potential for leaks and helps you save on installation costs. We also eliminate the need for drilling — and the metal shavings it produces — so you won’t have to worry about rusting (as found in other manufacturers’ ridge designs).
Gable Trims
Our seamed-in gable trim requires 85% fewer fasteners, resulting in less potential for leaks, roof problems and maintenance. It’s also designed to expand and contract with temperature changes.
Steel Rod Bracing
The bracing system is a building’s backbone. Our steel-rod bracing will retain its original strength and tightness over time. Wire rope and cable can stretch and sag, compromising the structural and roof integrity of your building.
Acrylic-Coated Structurals
Butler uses only acrylic-coated, galvanized C/Z structural members for a dramatically brighter interior finish than red oxide primer options.
Butlerib® II Roof and Wall System Fasteners
Butler factory punches its structural and roof systems, and uses Scrubolt™ fasteners that have twice the pullout strength of self-drilling screws. Our exclusive Lock-Rivet™ fastener further enhances weathertight performance of the Butlerib II roof system.
Roof Curb Solution
Studies show 90% of roof leaks are due to poorly designed or poorly installed roof penetrations. All of our roof curbs and openings are fully engineered at the factory, so there is no field engineering. Unlike the exposed fastener designs other manufacturers use, our internal flange design conceals fasteners within the curb and essentially eliminates leaks.
Industry-Leading Warranties
Our multi-year warranties protect your investment. While many manufacturers’ warranties are prorated after a certain period of time, we offer our Butler-Cote™ finish system roof and wall panel warranty for a full 25 years with no prorating. The 25-year warranty also protects against blistering, peeling, cracking or chipping of the paint finish. It’s a testament of our high-performance standards.
