Product Summary
MBCI is an environmentally friendly manufacturer in both process and product offerings. Our metal panels are made from 25-35% recycled materials, and when you build with steel, you are using a 100% recyclable product.
Construction and Materials
MBCI offers a comprehensive range of metal roofing systems designed for durability, aesthetic appeal, and performance. These systems are engineered using high-quality, factory-formed metal panels that are typically fabricated from steel or aluminum.
Construction Features
- Panel Profiles: MBCI's metal roofing systems are available in a variety of panel profiles, including standing seam, ribbed, and corrugated designs. Standing seam panels are characterized by raised seams that interlock, providing a watertight seal and a clean, modern appearance. Ribbed and corrugated panels offer robust structural integrity and are often used in industrial and agricultural applications.
- Substrate Materials: The primary substrates used for MBCI metal roofing are galvanized steel and aluminum. Galvanized steel provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance due to its protective zinc coating. Aluminum offers lightweight durability and natural corrosion resistance, making it suitable for coastal environments or applications where weight is a critical factor.
- Coatings and Finishes: To enhance durability and aesthetics, MBCI metal panels are treated with advanced coating systems. These can include:
- Galvalume® or Zincalume® Coatings: These are aluminum-zinc alloy coatings that offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanizing.
- High-Performance Paint Systems: MBCI utilizes durable paint finishes such as Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® PVDF resins, which provide exceptional color retention, chalk resistance, and protection against UV radiation and environmental pollutants. These finishes are available in a wide spectrum of colors to match architectural designs.
- Fastening Systems: Depending on the specific roofing system, fasteners may be exposed or concealed. Exposed fastener systems use screws or rivets that penetrate the panel and the sub-structure. Concealed fastener systems employ clips that attach the panel to the sub-structure without direct penetration of the panel surface, offering a cleaner look and increased weather resistance.
- Structural Integrity: The design of MBCI's metal roofing panels provides significant structural strength, enabling them to withstand high winds, heavy snow loads, and other challenging environmental conditions. The interlocking seams and panel geometry contribute to the overall rigidity and performance of the roof system.
Materials Used
- Steel: High-strength steel, often G90 galvanized or with a Galvalume®/Zincalume® coating, forms the core of many MBCI roofing panels.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminum is another key material, offering excellent longevity and suitability for various climates.
- Coatings:
- Aluminum-Zinc Alloy Coatings (Galvalume®/Zincalume®)
- Fluoropolymer-based coatings (e.g., Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000®) for superior color and gloss retention.
- Fasteners: Stainless steel or coated carbon steel fasteners are used to ensure durability and corrosion resistance, compatible with the metal roofing substrate.
