Tests show wire cable bracing stretches over time.
Wire cable bracing comprises building structural and roof integrity. With time and stress, cables stretch and sag, affecting lateral stability. Long-term this will also effect other parts of the building such as roof, wall and door connections. No wonder some buildings creak and groan in the wind. |
Butler steel rod bracing retains its original strength and tightness, always.
No matter how strong the building, the bracing system is its backbone. Rod bracing doesn¡¯t stretch. It won¡¯t let your new building down.
Under the same load, wire rope cable stretches 4 times the amount of Butler Hot rolled steel rods.

Some people still believe in the tape measure and chalk.
Field measuring with ordinary tools cannot insure that your roof system will fit up well, go down straight or perform over the long term. However, some products are still installed that way. |
At Butler, we eliminate the need for guesswork and field measuring with factory prepunched structurals and panels.
We prepunch all our secondary structurals and standing seam panels at the factory to assure your MR-24® Roof System will be on square, line up straight and live up to its well-deserved reputation of proven long-term Performance.

This roof system claims to have 360 degree Pittsburgh Double-Lock seam. Not exactly!
Most roof systems, like this one, form 75% of their standing seam in the factory. These roof systems only field crimp or bend their standing seams 45-60 degrees. The noticeable gap means the integrity of your roof system has been comprised. |
Only Butler field forms a full 180 degree Pittsburgh Double-Lock seam completing a 360 degree seam.
The unique Butler seaming method uses 4,000 lbs. of pressure to field form a full 180 degree seam completing a fully locked 360 degree Pittsburgh Double-Lock standing seam. Creating a singly solid steel membrane between you and the elements. Look closely and you¡¯ll see that the MR-24® Roof System is the only standing seam roof system with true Pittsburgh Double-Lock seams.

Field engineering roof penetrations can lead to a ¡°hole¡± lot of trouble.
Every additional unnecessary exposed-thru fastener in your roof means another potential leak and maintenance problems. Studies show that 90% of roof leaks are due to poorly designed or installed roof penetrations. |
Butler¡¯s fully engineered roof systems provide the ¡°hole¡± solution.
Every Butler approved roof curb and opening is fully engineered at the factory, so there¡¯s no field engineering. Every Butler accessory is designed to work as a part of a complete, weathertight roof system eliminating leaks and maintenance problems caused by unnecessary exposed-thru fasteners.

If your building isn¡¯t a Butler? Building, you only have one choice.
All pre-engineered building manufacturers use the industry standard self-drilling fastener to attach roof and wall panels to the building, except one. |
Only Butler provides higher quality fastener options because of their unique factory prepunched secondary structruals.
Butler Scrubolt? fasteners have twice the pull-out strength and are almost impossible to strip. That¡¯s why all other manufacturers specify two or more self-drilling fasteners to provide the same strength as one Butler Scrubolt? fasteners.

If you like paying high roof maintenance bills then choose industry standard skylights!
It¡¯s a fact of life, industry standard skylights turn yellow and brittle, and begin to deteriorate in just a few short years. Which is fine, if you like leaks and high maintenance costs. |
Butler skylights provide natural light year after year. And nothing else!
Butler Lite-Panl® prevent ultraviolet deterioration, won¡¯t yellow and turn brittle. Providing your with bright natural lighting and reduced maintenance costs for years.

Independent authorities confirm the risk of early corrosion on painted Galvalume? panels.
For more than a decade, tests have shown painted Galvalume rusts on sheared edges and along formed radii within 3 months to 3 years. Yet some manufacturers persist in using it. |
Butler offers Clean COLORBOND® coating.
The substrate of Clean COLORBOND® Steel is ZINCALUME® steel, an aluminum/zinc alloy metallic coated product manufactured by BlueScope Steel. The ZINCALUME® steel is able to withstand oxygen of air, water, and other corrosions, make Clean COLORBOND® Steel more durable and will last up to 4 times greater than an equivalent galvanized coating.

Will your building look like this in just 5 years?
All buildings look good the day they¡¯re completed. The true test is time. Will your building continue to look good? Or will the benefits of compromise fade in just a few short years? |
Butler offers Clean COLORBOND® coating.
Clean COLORBOND® Steel offers superior color retention performance due to it¡¯s premium paint system. It allows your building keep a high performing, durable and outstanding appearance.

One of the most vulnerable areas for leaks in a standing seam roof system is the panel end splice.
The panel endlap design is critical to a roof¡¯s weathertightness. Some manufacturers simply rely on a lot of fasteners to make this joint. Because their roof systems are unpunched, they must move the panel splice away from the purlin over an unsupported area in order to make the connection with self drilling fasteners. That means the splice is not supported by a purlin and becomes vulnerable to roof traffic. |
The MR-24® Roof System features a unique two piece clamped panel endlap design at this vital connection.
Butler factory prepunches and notches each MR-24® panel endlap for a precise fit. A heavy gauge aluminum panel strap and splice plate with four factory welded, stainless steel studs provide for a positive seal at this critical juncture. This allows the endlap to be located directly over a purlin which provides support for roof traffic. In addition, Buter staggers adjacent endlaps which provides greater strength and allows a complete Pittsburgh Double lock seam through the joint. |

Most manufacturers do not concern themselves with small details!
Most new roofs perform well initially, but the true test is time. Will your roof continue to perform™ Or, will lack of attention to details compromise its performance in just a few short years. |
It¡¯s the attention to detail that enables Butler roof systems to out perform all others.
Butler¡¯s quality controlled manufacturing processes provide sealant guides and a sealant groove for the precise placement of its patented weather sealant without measuring or guesswork. The Butlerib® II panel has one of the widest and deepest corrugations in the industry. A return leg design provides support at the sidelap for roof traffic. Attention to details is what makes the Butlerib? II Roof System out perform the rest.
