s Above Sheathing VentilationSolutionsn Compared traditional asphalt shingles to stone coated steel shingles installed on battens.

n Oak Ridge National Labs tested the benefits of the air-space created by a batten installation.

n Testing concluded that the air-space created by the battens reduced the heat transfer into the conditioned space by 30%.

n Determined that the vented space was just as important as solar reflectance for reducing heat gain.

Mill Harbor

St. Anthony’s Retreat CenterSolutionsn Historical remodel of a Fransican Friar’s retreat center built in 1919 using DECRA Shingle.

n Roof over fiber cement tile made from asbestos – encapsulated the asbestos per EPA guidelines.

n Cost savings because the fiber cement tile was left in place and the asbestos did not have to be abated.

n Diverted hazardous material from land fill – saving disposal dollars and the environment.

Solutionsn Private community in Bergen Beach section of New York; located close to Jamaica Bay.

n Wood deck needed to be eliminated; a cement board was used for the substrate.

n Steel panels do not delaminate like asphalt shingles – perfect for mansard application.

n Aluminum-zinc alloy coated steel prevents degradation from the sea/salt.
