Website Serves As Resource For All Things Metal Roof Attachment

Colorado Springs, CO - When it comes to the penetration-free attachment of virtually any accessory to a metal roof—including snow retention and photovoltaic panel systems—it’s hard to beat the experts at S-5!. The company has long been regarded as one of the metal construction industry’s preeminent names in attachment because it does more than simply sell products, it also innovates and educates. But where once upon a time the company could only share its expertise live and in-person, at trade shows, association meetings and other group settings, it now has the internet and a website. And it uses both to full advantage.

Like any manufacturer, S-5!’s website supports the company’s core business, which is selling attachment products and solutions to those in need. However, the S-5! website is also an information resource and educational tool. It is a destination site for learning about attachment, snow retention and photovoltaics, all as they relate to metal roofing.

The current iteration of S-5!’s website launched in mid-March 2021 and has information and sections for contractors, specifiers, distributors and metal roofing manufacturers. Among its educational offerings are:

Learning/Resource Center

Containing product pages, brochures, case studies, installation instructions and other marketing resources.

Training Center

S-5! University features free live and on-demand webinars as well as AIA and NABCEP courses; also available in Spanish.

Snow Calculator

S-5!’s web-based snow calculator searches its entire test database to determine accurate, engineered options and quantities for any application. Helps users understand their roof type, allows them to log and save all project data, and connect with a distributor or S-5! personnel to request an engineering stamp; with an option for exposed-fastened roofing.

Project Configurator Tool

Helps customers design their projects from start to finish and guides them to find the right clamp, bracket and/or system for the specific roof profile. A project dashboard allows users to log and save all project data, add multiple roof profiles, view all projects and offers advanced filters via multiple categories. The Project Configurator Tool is linked to S-5!’s snow retention calculator.
