For standing seam roof systems, the AceClamp^® provides  a fast, easy, and secure method for anchoring solar systems, conduit, signs, HVAC equipment, walkways, and virtually anything to be mounted on to the roof. The one top-mounted tightening fastener with a locking feature provides the fastest and easiest installation available, and ensures that it will not loosen due to thermal movement or vibration. The AceClamp^®  does not pierce the panels and is constructed of aluminum with stainless hardware, eliminating any corrosion concerns. Two styles are available, the ML for mechanical lock panels and the SL for snap lock panels. Most all panel systems in the market are covered by one of the two designs.

                                         The SOL-R fastening system is designed specifically for attachment of photovoltaic systems to exposed fastener metal panel roofs. The SOL-R provides a water tight, flexible, and fast attachment solution. Made of a high strength, corrosion proof composite material, it is height adjustable, and able to accomodate most PV rack profiles and system designs. The single central attachment of the SOL-R to the structure provides fast, easy installation without pre-drilling.

SFS intec is proud to bring the most advanced attachment solutions to the market with AceClamp^® and SOL-R.

The snap lock bearing plate is designed for use with snap lock clips and the universal plate, with its unique hole spacing pattern, is designed for fit most mechanically seamed fixed and float clips. Both bearing plates can be produced in 16-26 ga. materials and are available in various dimensions. In addition, the hole spacings can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.

The addition of these unique-designed bearing plates provides customers with one convenient source of supply for all their standing seam fastening requirements — standing seam clips, bearing plates and fasteners from SFS intec.

The video presentation provides a detailed review of how corrosion affects the performance of Construction Fastening Systems.  Case history applications include Metal Roofing and Siding as well as Flat Roofing.  Special section includes precautionary measures designers need to be aware of when working with the newest generation of preservative treated lumber.  The presentation will illustrate corrosion issues from actual applications in the field as well as through accelerated testing performed in the laboratory.  Design professionals will come away with the knowledge to determine which materials are appropriate in order to achieve sustainable design goals for differing building life cycles.

In addition to this distance education course, SFS  intec offers four other AIA (HSW) continuing education seminars. Program summaries for all AIA courses can be found in the Architectural Products section on our website

The presentation, abbreviated as CORR1A, will fulfill a portion of AIA members’ continuing education requirements. Architects are required to earn 18 continuing education credits each year, eight of which must be health, safety, and welfare (HSW) credits. Of those eight credits, four of the credits must be sustainable design credits. Sustainable design knowledge provides architects with essential information that will help them address and respond to the challenges of designing architecture that meets the needs of today without compromising the future. The corrosion prevention presentation provides the design professional with the knowledge to determine which materials are appropriate in order to achieve sustainable design goals for differing building life cycles.

In addition to the corrosion prevention presentation, SFS intec offers four other AIA (HSW) continuing education seminars. Program summaries for all AIA courses can be found on the Architectural Products section of our website.
