The Butler Difference巴特勒钢构的不同之处.docx

The Butler DifferenceProduct Differences Engineered for higher-quality installationButler Manufacturing offers a systems construction approach that is more economical and faster to erect, requiring fewer parts than other building systems. Some manufacturers require labor-intensive tasks for their building systems. Take a look at some of our product differences and you will see that Butlers approach to systems construction demonstrates a SIMPLER, FASTER, and BETTER method for your next building project.Factory Punching Creates perfect alignment.Proper alignment of roof panels is crucial to short and long term roof performance. Poor alignment affects weathertightness and creates problems when installing closures, roof accessories, and trim. All roof panels and structural members of theMR-24 roof system are factory punched to assure proper alignment.MR-24 Panel Splice SupportOn wider buildings, roof panels are placed end to end, creating a splice. Most manufacturers allow their splices to occur in midairwithout direct structural support. Installers and other roof trafficeven the weight of snowwill push down on midair splices and cause strain on the splice, providing the opportunity for the splice to open. Butler prevents this by designing splice locations to occur directly over supporting steel while still allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the splice.ButlerNot ButlerProtect against leaks.The MR-24 roof system is the only standing-seam roof system where the critical final 180 degrees of the roof panel seam is mechanically field-rolled to complete a 360-degree Pittsburgh double-lock seamcreating the tightest seam available today. Inside the seam, a factory-applied sealant assures weathertightness in even the most unforgiving conditions.Staggered Panel Splices Weathertight Seams Protect against leaks.The MR-24 roof system is the only standing-seam roof system where the critical final 180 degrees of the roof panel seam is mechanically field-rolled to complete a 360-degree Pittsburgh double-lock seamcreating the tightest seam available today. Inside the seam, a factory-applied sealant assures weathertightness in even the most unforgiving conditions.Kynar 500 / Hylar 5000 Finishes Enhance and protect.Butler uses the Butler-Cote high performance finish system made with a Fluropon resin on all exterior-painted products. Available in a variety of colors, this system has set performance requirements for finishes and is the standard exterior finish on all Butler-painted roof panels, wall panels, and trims. Its 25-year warranty protects against blistering, peeling, cracking, or chipping of the paint finishFlexible Ridges MR-24 Roof System Engineered AccessoriesImproved weathertightness.Our unique ridge design has concealed fasteners to improve weathertightness in addition to reducing the potential for roof leaks. In addition, for each single exposed fastener we use in our ridge, our competition uses 50 exposed fasteners. Superior engineering details and minimal use of exposed fasteners reduces the potential for leaks and also saves on installation costs. Our exclusive Lock-Rivet fasteners with factory-punched holes eliminate the need for drillingeliminating the metal shavings which cause rusting as found in other manufacturers ridge designs. Butler Not Butler Gable Trims Seamed-in with fewer fasteners.Our seamed-in gable trim requires 85% fewer fasteners, resulting in less potential for leaks, roof problems, and maintenance. Its also designed to expand and contract with seasonal temperature changes. Butler Not Butler Steel Rod Bracing Provides solid reinforcement.No matter how strong the building, the bracing system is its backbone. Over the years, Butlers steel-rod bracing will retain its original strength and tightness. The steel rod bracing we use does not stretch or sag like wire rope and cable, which over time compromises the structural and roof integrity of your building. ButlerNot ButlerAcrylic Coated Structurals Superior finish.Butler uses only acrylic-coated, galvanized C/Z structural members. This finish is superior to primer paint and provides for a dramatically brighter interior finish than red oxide primer finishesButlerib II Fasteners Stronger Fasteners Maintain incredible strength. The Butler ScruboltBecause other manufactures dont factory punch their structural steel, they are generally forced to use self-drilling screws to make critical clip and panel attachments. Self-drilling screws leave behind metal shavings that can cause rust problems. Butler factory punches structurals and uses Butler Scrubolt fasteners which have twice the pullout strength of self-drillers.Butler ScruboltNot ButlerRoof Curb Solution Precision engineering.Studies show 90% of roof leaks are due to poorly designed or poorly installed roof penetrations. Every Butler roof curb and opening is fully engineered at the factory, so there is no field engineering. Unlike the exposed fastener designs other manufacturers use, Butlers internal flange design conceals fasteners within the curb and eliminates leaks.ButlerNot
