DuPont® is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company Corporation.

Skyline™ Structural SystemA simple solution to complex roofline design.

When a design calls for a dramatic roofline, Skyline is yourchoice. With clear spans up to 65 feet and the ability to cre-ate complex hip, valley and dormer framing, Skyline is a cost-effective alternative to structural steel bar joists, fire-treatedwood and site-assembled, cold-formed metal framing.

This light gauge steel truss system is equally ideal for retro-fitting existing flat-roofed buildings to create a visually compelling silhouette.

While encouraging limitless design possibilities, Skyline isengineered to eliminate field assembly of trusses, ensuring aperfect fit and reducing project costs and construction schedules.

Key Selection Attributes:• New construction or retrofit flat roofs• Limitless roofline design configurations • Longer lasting than wood systems• One-hour, one-layer UL fire-rated assembly

System Description:• VSR roof system• Single spans up to 65'

Applications:• Offices• Schools• Retail• Municipal buildings

Sky-Web® Fall Protection and Insulation Support SystemsUnique, easy-to-install safety systems.

The Sky-Web® and Sky-Web II® systems protect workers fromfalls and certain falling objects off the leading edge of a roofduring construction. Both are easy-to-install methods ofincreasing safety and efficiency, which remain in place afterthe building is complete as an insulation support.

As passive restraint systems similar to an automobileair bag, Sky-Web:• Requires no worker initiative—no need to tie off with lanyards• Allows workers to move freely without tangling in safety

lines or installing portable safety nets.

Please note: Sky-Web does not eliminate fall hazard from the the non-leading edgeperimeter of the roof.

Key Selection Attributes:• Fall protection system• Permanent insulation support system• Made to order for most building configurations• OSHA-reviewed• Light color blends with insulation facing

System Description (Sky-Web):• 2" square grid of PVC-coated 1,000 denier polyester yarn• Leading edge: polypropylene tape reinforced with rope• Furnished in bay width by bay length sizes

System Description (Sky-Web II):• 2 p" x 2 p" square grid of DuPont nylon Type 6-6 twisted twine• Leading edge: 6' strip of #30 twine color coded for identification• Supplied in widths 60' to eliminate field splices

Roof Systems

MR-24® Roof System*Exclusive factory-punched precision in the most-specified standing seam roof system.

The MR-24®roof system is specified twice as often as any other standing seam roof system—over two billion square feet installed since 1969. It is the standard by which other roofing systems are judged.

The MR-24 roof acts like a single steel membrane to protect your entire building with exclu-sive features that ensure weathertightness—factory punching, a 360-degree Pittsburgh double-lock standing seam and staggered endlaps. All accessories and integrated panels arealso engineered for exact fit.

The MR-24 system offers complete design flexibility and can be used in conventional steelstructures using:• Z-purlins• Truss purlins• Bar joists • Retrofit subsystems

With the best roof warranty available in the industry—25 years against weathertightness aswell as perforation—the MR-24 roof system is the best insurance for the long life of your building.

CMR-24® Roof System*The industry standard, insulated for energy-efficiency.

The CMR-24® composite roof system takes all the strength, flexibility and weathertightnessof the MR-24 and adds the superior energy-saving features of a layer of rigid insulationboard and an interior liner (steel roof deck).

The corrugated steel liner:• Protects the insulation• Acts as a diaphragm to transfer loads throughout the roof system• Is easy to clean• Gives the interior a more finished look• Comes in a painted white finish(The acoustic characteristics of rigid foam board insulation may not be suitable for certain applications).

VSR™ Architectural Roof System*Striking—versatile—high-performing.

The VSRTM architectural standing seam system combines the quality appearance of a battenroof system with the strength and performance of a structural roof system.

Flexible enough for your most imaginative and unique projects, the VSR system accommodateseven the most complex roof geometries and popular details such as continuous roof-to-fasciadesigns (not recommended in snow areas).

The VSR roof system can be used as a structural roof system with spanning supportsplaced up to 5’ on centers or placed over roof deck materials in a non-structural roof system.



Butlerib® II Roof System*The economical roof system available with an optional 10-year weathertightness warranty.

Butlerib® II—the best through-fastened roof system in the industry—is weathertight and economical to install and maintain.

Factory cut and punched panels ensure accurate endlap alignment and easy installationwhile exclusive “return leg” provides extra support at sidelaps.

ThermaLiner™ Insulation System*A superb insulation option for Butler roof systems.

The ThermaLiner insulation system incorporates all the benefits of the MR-24, VSR orButlerib II roof system while providing the additional advantages of an interior liner panel,superior thermal efficiency to R-40, condensation control and acoustic properties.

Re-Roofing: Solutions for the Long Term

Retrofit Metal-Over-Metal System*The Butler low profile and high profile retrofit systems.

Both the low profile and high profile systems allow installation of an MR-24® or VSRTM

standing seam roof system—with its unique factory punching and staggered endlaps to provide optimum weathertightness—over an existing through-fastened rib type roof.

Both feature a complete line of accessories including seamed-in curbs and stainless steel gutters, and all the benefits of the industry-leading MR-24 and VSR roof systems.

The low profile retrofit:

• Allows for a maximum 3" blanket insulation • For major corrugation heights of 1 2" or less

The high profile retrofit:

• Allows for thicker insulation • Higher corrugation heights • Can be applied to an existing standing seam roof

Slope Build-Up Retrofit System*The Butler fully-engineered re-roof solution.

This is the industry’s premier custom re-roofing solution, combining high-quality Butler roofsystems to mesh with a building’s existing roof slope design, no matter how complicated.

The MR-24 roof system is used for low slope roofs with a minimum slope of 4" in 12". For high-er-slope applications—where the roof plays an important role in the building’s appearance—the VSR architectural roof system may be used.

Cool Roofs

Solar Roof FinishesButler roof systems with Solar finishes can help reduce energy consumption.
