Ice dams and snow build up are two of the biggest challenges roofs face in the winter. But they are challenges that Unified Steel’s stone-coated roofing rises to!
When installed with proper battens and above sheeting ventilation (ASV), Unified Steel stone-coated roofing has been proven to better retain snow load and stop the formation of ice dams. How? Unified Steel stone-coated roofing’s surface naturally retains snow (avoiding avalanching) while proper batten systems increase live snow load capacity to up 980 psf! As for ice damming, installing ASV creates crucial air flow that reduces the cycling of temperatures that create the freeze/thaw cycle that develops ice dams.
