| Horizontal R-Mer Guard wall panels  As the newest member of Garland's R-Mer family of metal roof and wall systems, R-Mer Guard wall panels give building owners a lateral aesthetic option for architectural exterior walls. The R-Mer Guard concealed clip system is engineered for strength and longevity, as well as beauty. It has been tested and approved to meet extreme wind uplift, as well as air and water penetration and missile impact, and can withstand the toughest conditions, including the coastal hurricane environment. R-Mer Guard panels are available in a wide range of colors, gauges, and metal materials, including aluminum, zinc, copper, and stainless steel. These attractive architectural panels come in several profiles to meet a variety of aesthetic preferences, and are custom formed to meet the design and performance requirements of each individual project. Individual horizontal panels can be used in various combinations, and in conjunction with vertical walls, to create interesting contrasts of colors, textures, and materials, or can be installed uniformly for a clean horizontal line. John Pierson, PE, engineering services manager for Garland, reports, "With this aesthetic extension of the R-Mer product line, architects can design the most complex integrations of metal roof and wall panels using aesthetically compatible materials from a single, reliable source." According to Pierson, the new horizontal wall panels, when installed as specified, are warranted to be leak-free for at least ten years. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
