General Info:
Low income Affordable apartments- New Construction
Pictured Scope of Work:
Light Grey metal panels above red cement board siding
- 24 ga. Kynar steel ‘Ash Grey’, 16” wide ‘Vertical Seam’ panel w/ auxiliary 2” x 2” ‘Maxi Batten’ installed over the panel ribs per Metal Sales Manufacturing
- Roughly 17,000 square feet of installed panels
- Panels are installed at private decks and breezeways, creating continual aesthetic flow
- Furnished and installed all of the general sheet metal (deck flashings, roof flashings, cement board siding trims,
ect .) - Performed all of the interior exhaust ducting and wall furnace installation (not pictured)
Project Challenges:
- The panels were installed over a ½” sub-girt system (continuous wall furring installed every 24”-36” for panel attachment, creating airspace between the wall sheathing and the metal panels)
- This meant that all the of the doors/windows and any penetrations were furred out as well, all of the pre and post panel trim flashings were doubled if not tripled in order to achieve a weathertight installation
- Working with the sunshade fabricators and installers to create weathertight penetrations in the wall panel systems for a seamless install
- Installing metal panels within living space (balconies and breezeways), meant that sharp and dangerous metal by nature needed to be installed with care, eliminating injury hazards to the occupants
