Abstract
Seamless, full-length, cut-to-size metal roof panel installation from eave to ridge with no chance for water or air intrusion-an ideal scenario but one rarely attained due ,o edges and terminations. And because of this, fastening takes on additional importance. Fastening is extremely important at metal roof panel edges and terminations for two main reasons. First, terminations are located near the edge of a roof where the highest wind loads sometimes occur. Second, any place where there is a discontinuity in a roofing surface there is an opportunity for water or air infiltration, "Wind-driven rain or snow, the capillary effect on overlaps and siphoning at the eaves can all lead to corrosion of metal surfaces," cautions Keith Rys, regional sales manager at Novagard, Cleveland,
