S-5! teams with Sustainable Technologies to offer single-ply roof solar mount
Metal roof attachment leader S-5! is expanding its offering via strategic joint venture with Sustainable Technologies. The focus of the collab will be the patented Facet Mount, pictured above, which is a universal mounting solution designed for single-ply roofs, including TPO, PVC and KEE.
“This joint venture represents a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class engineered products for architects, contractors, installers, EPCs and other trade professionals,” said Rob Haddock, CEO of S-5! “Our shared vision for a greener world is fundamental to this collaboration. By combining our expertise in solar technology, green building, and roofing systems, we are poised to deliver innovative products that set the bar for performance, reliability and sustainability.”
This is S-5!’s first commercial product offering beyond metal rooftops, to become more of a one-stop shop for rooftop attachment solutions.
“Our customers often ask if we have a mounting solution for their commercial single-ply roof projects,” stated Haddock. “With 35 years as the global leader in metal roofing solutions, S-5! is now positioned to deliver top-tier attachment solutions for roofing systems beyond metal.”
Likewise for Sustainable Technologies, which has utilized the Facet Mount for nearly 20 years in internal construction projects, and has sold it for over 10 years within the renewable energy sector. The Sustainable Technologies management team thought now was the time to expand their footprint in the roofing industry.
“Having worked alongside the S-5! team for many years and admiring their unwavering commitment to excellence, we are excited to join forces and be part of this promising collaboration,” said Todd Lindstrom of Sustainable Technologies.
