Why CCC Installs The MR-24 Roofing System

7 Reasons Why The MR 24 Roof Is The Best System

Whether you are building new or re-roofing, repairing or replacing your current roof, Butler MR 24 roof systems are flexible enough to fit your building’s needs. Here are 7 great reasons you should learn more about the MR 24 roofing system.

#1: Longevity

Butler Standing Seam Roofs have been in place for over a quarter of a century. Recent surveys confirm that these roofs can withstand decades of harsh sun rays, heavy rains, snow, ice and extreme temperatures without requiring any major maintenance, much less replacement. Twenty-year-old surveyed roofs were projected to last well into the future. What other roof can boast of low-maintenance, weather-tight performance?

    #2: Flexibility

    Whether you are building new or re-roofing, Butler systems can fit your needs. That includes everything from flat roofs to a variety of slopes — even steep-pitched roofs. CCC has re-roofed buildings with complex roof geometry, as well as multiple buildings connected together into a single complex. Also, by adding pitch with Butler’s fully engineered structural slope build-up system, our standing seam roofs can be installed directly over many existing flat roofs. In fact, most roofs can be retrofitted without interruption to daily business operations.

    #3: Durability

    Butler roof systems are engineered to last. Constantly changing temperatures cause a roof to expand and contract thousands of times each year. While this action can rack and pull apart many ordinary roofs, Butler roof systems are specifically engineered to allow for this natural thermal movement and provide long-term weather-tight performance. Wind and weather are no match for a Butler roof system.

    #4: Affordability

    Many people are surprised to discover that the Butler long-term solution is comparable in price to many short-term fixes.

    Your savings are magnified when you consider the improved energy efficiency that comes with the addition of new insulation. You can also save the cost of removal and disposal of existing roof materials by installing a new slope build-up roof system right over an old roof. Life-cycle cost comparisons prove that a Butler roof — whether it’s a new roof or a retrofitted re-roof — is extremely cost effective.

    #5: Complete System Design

    Your roof is only as good as its weakest detail or component. With Butler Roof Systems, every aspect of your roof — from ridge to eaves, trims and flashings, interior or exterior drainage, roof openings and accessories — has been designed to work in unison to form a total system that provides an overall protective shield.

    #6: Aesthetics

    A new roof can dramatically change the appearance of a building. Butler can add color, provide a mansard, or change a roof pitch and give your entire building a facelift. With Butler, you’ll find beauty and performance combined, thanks to precise engineering and professional installation.

    #7: Reliability

    The worldwide leader in metal roof systems, Butler Manufacturing introduced the modern standing seam roof in 1969. Since that time, the MR-24 roof system has been installed on well over two billion square feet of buildings all over the world. It is specified more than any other standing seam roof, according to a U.S. Steel survey of construction specifiers and Architectural Record magazine readership.

    CCC has a Special Projects division that covers renovations, facility improvement and retrofit work: we take old buildings and Elevate / Renovate / Transform. We had the pleasure of working with Fry Steel recently to undertake a building transformation project. 

    Based in Santa Fe Springs, California the customer decided to open a location in Ohio. They purchased an older, out of date facility that they wanted to make new. CCC worked to complete approximately 6,000 SF of interior renovations. These include new office, training room, shipping and receiving areas, along with locker and breakroom. CCC found a local interior designer to work with the customer in order to provide state-of-the-art, upscale finishes. Building exterior renovations are also complete. This includes paint, gutters and paving work. New garage doors, windows, lighting, signage and landscape.   

    Justin Platt, Principal, heads up our Special Projects division working closely with Phil Beatty, who manages all of the work . Both Justin and Phil bring exceptional client service and construction skills to every job. CCC understands that renovating while you are open for business is challenging, and we know how to do it. We would love to be a part of your team as you grow.
