MuleHide expands edge metal offering

New Nailer-T and extruded fascia products deliver superior protection, design versatility, easy installation and good looks.

The new Nailer-T wood nailer alternative and extruded fascia products from low-slope roofing manufacturer MuleHide are the protective, labor-saving finishing touches for virtually any low-slope roofing system.

Nailer-T replaces nailers at the roof perimeter, increasing the roof’s structural integrity, reducing the risk of failure, protecting the entire roofing system from damage or blow-off and providing an opportunity to increase the roof’s energy efficiency. It is designed for use in single-ply systems and is an ideal solution when retrofitting metal roofs.

The eight new extruded fascia products securely terminate single-ply, modified bitumen and built-up roofing (BUR) systems, providing maximum protection from wind uplift damage while contributing to the building’s aesthetics.

All the new products are engineered for quick, easy installation to increase crew efficiency and installation quality.

The range of sizes, cover materials, colors, finishes and other options available provides tremendous flexibility in designing the right roof for each building.

Nailer-T

Nailer-T makes wood nailers obsolete, protecting vulnerable corners and edges from damage by high winds, rain, hail, tornadoes and hurricanes. Options are available for low-slope roofs with consistent perimeter heights, for low-slope roofs with parapet walls and for retrofitting metal roofs.

Made of heavy-gauge extruded aluminum, Nailer-T can be attached to existing wood nailers, masonry or metal roof decks. It comes in a wide variety of standard sizes to accommodate different substrates and insulation requirements.

In single-ply systems, Nailer-T can replace up to three wood nailers and allow installation of up to 5.7 inches of Poly ISO insulation or 5.2 inches of Poly ISO and a ½-inch cover board.

Nailer-T, used in conjunction with an All Purpose Bar at the gutter, is an ideal solution when retrofitting metal roofs. Options are available for use on non-pitched metal roofs and those with pitches up to 4”/12”. It eliminates the step of cutting wood nailer blocks for each pan section, dramatically reducing the time and effort needed for filling flutes. Crews simply fit Nailer-T against the roof perimeter, fasten it to the purlins or structural supports and place a ½-inch cover board on top to finish.

All Nailer-T options are designed for quick, easy installation while delivering significant performance benefits:

• The 12-foot lengths have pre-punched holes, making installation significantly faster compared to wood nailers.
• Slotted fastening holes allow proper thermal movement of the materials and ensure correct fastener placement and spacing.
• Nailer-T provides performance protection in wind speeds up to those of a Category 5 hurricane. It is FM Approved for wind uplift protection and is Miami-Dade County approved, complying with the “High Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code.”
• Insulation can be extended to the roof edge, increasing R-Value at the edge by up to 47%.
• Unlike wood nailers, the heavy-gauge aluminum will not crack, warp, split or rot, is not a food source for insects, is non-combustible and does not absorb moisture.
• When reroofing time comes, Nailer-T can be removed from the old roof and installed on the new one.

Extruded fascia products

The new extruded fascia products combine versatility, superior performance and good looks, securely terminating TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen and BUR system to provide maximum wind protection while adding to the building’s aesthetics.

Eight products are available, each in a variety of sizes and cover materials, to meet the needs of virtually any low-slope roof. They include:

• Standard fascia for single-ply systems and modified bitumen or BUR systems.
• Extended fascia – with larger face heights to provide extended nailer coverage – for single-ply systems and modified bitumen or BUR systems.
• Heavy-gauge fascia – with heavier-gauge covers – for single-ply systems and modified bitumen or BUR systems.
• Canted waterdam fascia – in standard and extended face heights – for single-ply systems.

The patented extruded aluminum anchor bar provides industry-leading resistance to wind. All products are FM Approved for wind uplift protection and are Miami-Dade County approved, complying with the “High Velocity Hurricane Zone of the Florida Building Code.”

From the snap-on covers to the non-penetrating design, the products are engineered for easy, error-free installation. Pre-punched holes on the 12-inch lengths speed up the process and reduce labor costs. Slotted fastening holes allow for proper thermal movement of the materials and ensure correct placement and spacing. There is no stripping-in or heat-welding required, saving crews time and helping ensure the roof’s watertight integrity by preventing improper flashing techniques or failed adhesives or sealants.

A wide variety of express, standard and premium colors and finishes are available to suit the aesthetics of nearly any building. Custom colors are also available for hard-to-match jobs.

When the time comes to replace the roof, the anchor bar can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled on the new roof without compromising its strength and appearance.
