If your roofing company already installs metal shingles, you may have customers looking for a roof with a different level of architectural detail. They may want a distinctive pattern, a particular metal, or a roof that coordinates with the rest of a carefully designed home.
For those projects, it helps to have another system you can discuss with confidence.
Spengler Industries manufactures architectural metal roofing and wall cladding in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the German Spenglermeister tradition. Our Diamond shingles and Quadro panels give roofing contractors choices in geometry, scale, materials and finishes, supported by technical guidance and installation training.
Give your client a choice they can see
A roof’s pattern becomes part of the building’s architecture. Shingle shape and size determine how that pattern reads across the roof and around features such as dormers and turrets.
Spengler Diamond shingles are available in elongated 72-degree and square-on-point 90-degree forms, with multiple sizes. Comparing those options on the proposed roof helps the owner and design team choose the pattern and scale they want.
Quadro panels offer a horizontal interlocking pattern for roofing and wall cladding. They are another option when the design calls for horizontal lines or a coordinated treatment of roof and exterior walls.
Bring the proposed elevations, roof plans or photographs into the conversation. They help connect the product selection to the actual building.
Put specific information behind the word quality
A premium roof deserves a clear description of what the customer is buying. Ask about the material specification, finish, panel profile, fastening method and installation requirements for the system under consideration.
For your proposed Spengler system, discuss:
- The metal, thickness and finish being quoted.
- How the shingles or panels connect and attach.
- The details required at edges, valleys and transitions.
- Relevant product documentation and project requirements.
- The technical guidance and installation training available to your team.
Samples and drawings give the contractor, owner and architect something concrete to review together. They also help identify questions that need answering before the order is placed.
Select the metal and finish for the project
Spengler’s material options include copper, zinc, stainless steel, terne-coated stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and painted Galvalume. The available choices depend on the product and application.
Tell us about the project’s location, exposure, desired appearance and budget. We can discuss materials and finishes for the proposed system, including options for coastal projects.
Our metal roofing and wall cladding finishes include solid colors and specialty appearances. Custom finishes have minimum order quantities, so bring those preferences into the discussion early.
Include the components around the shingles
The roofing package also needs the pieces that finish and connect the roof: clips, fasteners, edge details, flashings, valleys, hips, ridges and transitions.
Spengler supplies system accessories and fabricated metalwork for the project. Discuss that scope alongside the shingles or panels so the quotation identifies which components are included and which will be supplied by others.
For a contractor adding a new roofing system, this is an opportunity to review the unfamiliar details before committing to the installation.
Prepare your crew for the first installation
Experience with metal roofing is valuable when evaluating another system. Each system still has its own details and installation requirements.
Spengler offers technical support for metal roofing projects and installer training. Talk with us about the support your crew needs, the installation details to review and the training arrangements appropriate for the project.
That conversation belongs in the planning stage, when the scope, schedule and installation approach are being established.
Bring us an upcoming roofing project
If you are a roofing contractor looking for a premium metal roofing option for your clients, start with a project you are considering.
Share the location, approximate roof or wall area, available plans or photographs, preferred system and material, and target installation date. Let us know what the owner wants from the roof and which decisions are still open.
We can discuss the product options, fabrication scope, accessories and installation support for that building.
