Metal Roof Retrofit Systems

Retrofit systems are an excellent and more permanent solution to fixing metal roofs having extended age, wear and tear, panel deterioration and numerous other problems. The Roof Hugger metal roof retrofit framing system is the perfect system. Roof Huggers are single-piece “Z” shaped sub-purlins specifically punched to allow ribs of your existing metal panel to pass through the vertical web of the hugger, insuring a close, structurally correct connection to the existing building.

ADVANTAGES: • No need to remove old roof at high removal and disposal costs – a positive impact on the environment. • No business disruption. • Maintains integrity of original design loadings. • Achieves “thermal break” air space between old and new roof. • Allows for additional insulation. • 25 year panel rust through warranty and 15 year leak free guarantee.

Installation shows 16 gauge “Z” shaped sub-purlin framing system attached to existing purlins.

Additional insulation added thus increasing your building's “R” value.

Retrofit stand off clips installed on sub-purlins. Standing seam roof panel mounted on clips that allow for thermal movement forces.
