Thomas Faulkenberry & Associates designed the impressive new facility while McGee Industries was the builder.

The Bangor Housing Authority in Bangor, ME, inherited 95 buildings from the US Government. Built in the 1950’s, the homes were originally constructed for the local Air Force base to house enlisted personnel. Since the time they were built, the roofing on the buildings has been the focus of many construction projects. The current asphalt roof was installed 12 – 15 years ago, and upon inspection it was found to have problems with water infiltration requiring extensive maintenance and repair. Stone-coated steel roofing by DECRA offered the solution.

Approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of Petersen Snap-On standing seam roof panels provided key architectural branding elements for the new Bank of Georgia located in Newnan, GA. The straight and radiused 24 gauge panels were finished in PAC-CLAD® Kynar 500® Medium Bronze.

They are finished in sandstone and white and striated to provide an attractive linear shadowing effect to the walls.

Richard Rogers partnership specified some 2.5 million sq. ft. of Kalzip 65/400 stucco-embossed aluminum panels for its design of a new main terminal at Madrid's Barajas Airport. The building is comprised of 240 modules, each measuring 29-1/2’ wide by 246’ long. The roof of each module arches in opposite directions, similar to the wings of a bird, leading to aircraft gates at the opposite tip. Kalzip panels, some of which are tapered, were laid lengthways and curved into a complex shape. The decking below was formed from pre-curved perforated aluminum panels, followed by a double layer of slab insulation. The composite assembly is said to provide outstanding acoustical performance, protecting passengers and terminal workers from aircraft noise outside.

This structure for Bastoni Vineyards in Santa Rosa, CA measures 35’ wide x 60’ long x 24’ high with a 2,100 sq. ft. metal roof installed on a 4:12 slope.
