The Garland Company Introduces R-Mer® Force Coping

Cleveland, OH - The Garland Company, Inc., a Garland Industries company manufacturing and distributing products for the commercial building envelope, announces the newest addition to its edge metal line: R-Mer® Force Coping, designed to protect the vulnerable conditions around a roof perimeter.

“We are thrilled to add a new coping to the R-Mer® Force product line, especially one that exemplifies our commitment and promise to our customers to provide building envelope solutions with the best overall performance,” explained Garland’s Vice President, Brett Wygal.

R-Mer Force Coping features anchor chairs and a snap-on design to eliminate the need for exposed fasteners. Without fasteners penetrating the coping cap, the material has the ability to expand and contract, allowing for thermal movement. It was noted that the 16-gauge steel anchor chairs provide "exceptional wind uplift ratings", making R-Mer Force Coping Garland’s strongest coping to date while remaining a code-compliant design in accordance with ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1 standard.

“Accessories such as inside and outside premanufactured mitered corners, end caps, transitions, and tees can be configured to conform to unique geometries for versatility on a multitude of roofs and are easy-to-install with pre-punched fastening holes on each anchor chair and ‘snap-on’ design,” explained Garland’s Director of Technical Services and Engineering, Tom Diamond, P.E.

R-Mer Force Coping is offered in 10’0” lengths. It can be supplied in a selection of cool roof colors that reflect UV light and can contribute to energy efficiency.
