Metal nailer Eliminailer-T helps streamline retrofit applications! While time-consuming and labor-intensive wood blocking assemblies are typically used, Eliminailer-T offers a metal alternative that is faster to install, reducing time and labor requirements.
Eliminailer-T can secure, straighten, and strengthen the edge, protecting the roof system from premature failure. Serving as a substitute for wood nailers, Eliminailer-T comes equipped with a Lifetime, 215 MPH Wind Warranty, which offers significant benefits for both the roofer and the building owner.
Installing a flute fill metal roof usually means lots of prep, time, and labor to complete all the steps required. Cutting individual wood blocking assemblies to properly fit each pan is inefficient and time-consuming. Eliminailer-T solves for flute-fill applications as a heavy gauge aluminum extrusion, offering an alternative to wood nailers. Simply fasten Eliminailer-T using the pre-punched holes and provided fasteners and move on down the line. Easy, fast, straight, and accurate.
There are other benefits, too! Eliminailer-T is non-combustible and won’t rot, warp, or deteriorate like wood. Also, wood can become a food source for insects, but not Eliminailer-T with its aluminum construction. Traditional flute fill installations leave a triangular opening at the corners, allowing water and insects to get in and wreak havoc. Replacing wood with Eliminailer-T on flute fill eliminates that gap, protecting the roof system and reducing risk of failure.
Additionally, replacing wood blocking assemblies with Eliminailer-T provides thermal improvements for the building by allowing continuous insulation all the way to the edge. For more on these thermal advantages, see discussion in Energy Efficiency at the Roof Edge.
“Eliminailer-T is an extraordinary product that solves for a lot of different applications,” says Alan Schweiss of Architectural Pro Council in Missouri, who already a fan of this new alternative to wood nailers, “On metal retrofit flute fill projects, using Eliminailer-T is a no brainer. It installs extremely fast and straightens everything out. Wood nailers are usually crooked and uneven and Eliminailer fixes all that. It eliminates the rotting and inconsistency we see with wood. I believe everyone should try Eliminailer-T – they’ll see the benefits right away.”
