2024 Metal Roof of the Year

February 20, 2025

DURO-LAST® 2024 METAL ROOFING AWARD

DURO-LAST® 2024 METAL ROOFING AWARD

Clement Elementary School
Location: Autryville, North Carolina

Square Feet: 15,000 membrane & 52,000 standing seam


Products:  Duro-Tuff® 50 mil blue and white membrane, Duro-Guard® ISO crickets, SECUROCK® ½" Cover Board, custom stack flashings, EXCEPTIONAL® HT Underlayment, EXCEPTIONAL Metals LokSeam® Standing Seam Metal Panels, EXCEPTIONAL Metals 7.2 Insulated Metal Wall Panels, 2-Piece Snap-On Compression


For the flat portions of the roof, the existing assembly was removed down to the insulation, leaving two layers of 1.5-inch ISO. New tapered Duro-Guard ISO crickets were installed to ensure proper drainage before adding SECUROCK half-inch cover board and fully adhered Duro-Tuff 50 mil white membrane. The standing seam portion added another layer of complexity. First, B&M Roofing applied to the deck EXCEPTIONAL HT Underlayment before installing the EM LokSeam® panels. While some panels were shipped in by truck, many of the panels were roll-formed on-site and crane lifted to the roof because of their length, ensuring a custom fit and preventing the need for mid-panel seams.


During the metal panel installation, the B&M Roofing team found that several skylights were in much worse condition than initially thought. To address this, B&M reinforced the skylights by installing hat channels and two layers of 3/4-inch plywood before covering them with ice and water shield and Duro-Tuff 50 mil blue membrane.


The award was presented January 20, 2025, during the Duro-Last Roofing National Sales Seminar.
