Who We Serve:
Architects & Designers
Aesthetically-Pleasing...Engineered to Last
Architects consider a number of factors when specifying products and manufacturers for their projects. Climate, aesthetics, roof pitch, structure, form and function are all determining factors. At S-5!, our innovations are grounded in all of the above and engineered to last.
Our products are designed exclusively for use on metal roofing. With a 13% market share in residential roofing and a 34% market share in commercial roofing, standing seam metal roofing (SSMR) is growing in popularity due to its attributes of low life-cycle costs, extended service life and durability. Metal is different from other traditional roofing materials. At S-5!, metal roofing is our core competence. We are the metal roof experts and invented the very space of penetration-free attachments for SSMR.
At S-5!, we constantly work to uphold our reputation as the leading provider of the highest quality products and highest level of customer service when it comes to SSMR. We offer you unparalleled assurances that you can trust S-5! when placing your reputation on the line.
