Find the right ES-1 system for your project to build the most secure roof perimeter possible.  

Edge metal is a key protective feature of every metal roof. If designed properly, it keeps the perimeter of the roof secured against wind blow-off. Recently, a method of wind-resistance testing was developed by the experts at ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and SPRI (Single Ply Roofing Industry). This testing standard, which is called ES-1, utilizes a pull test that correlated the wind uplift that edge metal on the perimeter of a building must endure. It can be used for metal edgings, gravel stops and copings and is the first standard designed specifically for architects, specifiers and other roofing professionals working on creating a quality metal roof edge system. 

In response to this, Chicago Metal Supply got an entire series of perimeter edge metal systems tested and certified as meeting ES-1 standards. These premium quality systems were built with heavy-gauge materials and a full supporting anchor chair so that they can survive whatever harsh conditions the weather throws at them. The ES-1 systems come in a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, zinc, copper and Samsung metals and will meet the strictest of standards in any shape and size you are looking for. 

No matter what your exact needs are, there is an ES-1 system that can help you create an effective metal roof edge system:
