Double-Lok® ROOFING SYSTEM
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- DESIGN INTEGRITY
ASBC’s DoubIe-Lok® mechanically seamed system begins and ends in
the high, reducing the risk of leakage at the rake that can occur when
finishing in the low. The panel seam is sealed with a factory-applied
hot-melt mastic, a superior grade to mastics applied in the field.
- FLOATING ROOF
The Double-Lok® roof was designed to cope with the forces of
expansion and contraction. This is accomplished by allowing the panels to
freely move up and down the roof slope.
- FLOATING CLIPS
Two floating clips, the Standard and Articulating, are available for
the Double-Lok® system. The Standard clip allows for a total of two inches
of thermal movement and is constructed from 14 gauge material. The
articulating clip eliminates the binding and friction during panel expansion
and contraction caused by a misformed, misaligned or improperly erected
substructure. The clip provides a 3/8" clearance at the purlin to
reduce water ponding on low pitch roofs. Constructed from 12 gauge material,
this clip is an integral part of maintaining panel module within the
floating system.
- UL 90 RATING
The Double-Lok® roof system has 7 different UL 90 construction
numbers, each of which is available with several options.
- FACTORY MUTUAL APPROVAL
The Double-Lok® roof has been tested by Factory Mutual Research
Corporation for wind uplift, fire and hail damage under Standard 4471
achieving various ratings. Refer to page DL-4 for summary information.
- FIRE RESISTANCE RATINGS
The roof system qualifies for use in several UL design assemblies and
carries a UL "Class A" Fire Rating.
- SIMPLICITY
No troublesome batten cap is needed. The panels simply seam together
forming a watertight seal.
- FLEXIBILITY
ASBC’s DoubIe-Lok® roof system offers welcome flexibility to the
erector. Wall covering can be erected before or after the roof is installed.
Panel installation is an uninterrupted procedure.
- EASE OF INSTALLATION
The erector has the option to sheet each side of the roof separately
or both sides simultaneously, which greatly increases the speed and
convenience of erection. Being reversible end-for-end, sheets do not have to
be special ordered for each side of the building. No field notching of
panels at endlaps or ridge is required.
- FORGIVING SYSTEM
The Double-Lok® design allows for the roof to be finished in the
high when an out-of-square condition or other factors cause the roof to
terminate up to 4" out of module.
- BUILDING LENGTH
Odd, as well as even, footage buildings can be terminated in a major
rib with the use of our 12" or 18" panel or in the low by field
bending the panel.
- PREPUNCHED PANELS AND COMPONENTS
ASBC’s prepunched system, combined with self-engaging back-up
plates, assures panel module and speeds up roof installation.
- DURABILITY
Every unpainted panel is manufactured from Galvalume Plus®, your
assurance of the ASBC commitment to quality.
- COLOR AND FINISHES
Double-Lok® is available in a wide variety of popular colors in
three different paint systems.
