W.P. Hickman Company Includes Stainless-Steel Fasteners with all Edge Metal Systems

(Asheville, NC) - W.P. Hickman Company announces that stainless steel fasteners are being provided as a standard component with all of its perimeter edge metal systems at no additional charge to customers. Hickman has shipped fasteners with its products for years, in contrast with many edge manufacturers, and Hickman manufactures its edge products with holes pre-punched for use with the fasteners. Stainless steel fasteners are effective in resisting the corrosive nature of Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ), a wood preservative increasingly being used throughout the construction industry as the result of the EPA ban on the traditional Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) preservative.

"Providing our customers with proper, non-corrosive fasteners helps reduce contractors' liability concerns and provides building owners and architects with an increased level of security because they know the system has been installed properly," commented W.P. Hickman COO Jeff Imes. "Our products are ES-1 tested with the same stainless steel fasteners we ship with every order, so our customers can be certain that all Hickman roof edge systems are code-compliant and have proven performance."
