RAISE THE ROOF AND REDUCE ENERGY COSTS
A TOPR™ roof works to boost energy savings with:
Additional Air Space
The structural space between the existing roof and the new TOPR™ roof creates a thermal break. This air space not only results in increased energy efficiency, but also allows for the application of additional insulation, which can generate even greater energy savings.
Customized Depth
The TOPR™ roofing system can be fabricated to suit a variety of building specifications and to accommodate a range of insulation requirements.
Cool Metal Capability
Use COOLR® roofing materials with the TOPR™ roofing system for optimal energy savings. Choosing COOLR® energy efficient metal roofing on your next project is both cost effective and good for the environment. This unique combination of energy-saving thermal break, additional insulation and cool metal roof can also generate tax savings for the building or business owner. By helping meet ENERGY STAR® or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ standards, the TOPR™ roofing system can increase potential tax credits, lower heating and cooling costs and add to an environmentally friendly building. When your TopR™ roofing system goes on, energy efficiency goes up.
Superior Engineering Performance Tested to AISI Standards
In the tests shown below, increased R-Values and A-Values reflect an increased ability of the TOPR™ system to provide lateral and torsional bracing to the purlins to which it is attached. Visit www.toprroof.com for complete results and additional engineering tests.

TOPR™ BREAKS THROUGH STRUCTURAL BARRIERS
BREAKTHROUGH #2
TOPR™ meets high wind load requirements with customized clip spacing. Building codes now require roofs to withstand higher wind uplift pressures, especially at critical edge and corner zones. if required, you can install TOPR™ along with our revolutionary deflection limiter that allows clips to be installed at various spacing intervals in order to meet the most stringent engineering requirements in hurricane-prone coastal areas.
