THE CHALLENGE

The Northern Nishnawbe Education Council required a robust roofing system for the Pelican Falls First Nations High School capable of withstanding high wind uplift pressures as the building is situated on Pelican Lake, and subject to stronger and more frequent wind events. Additionally, the roofing system needed to be low-maintenance while enhancing the building's aesthetic appeal.

ROOFING SYSTEM SOLUTION

Architectural firm Keewatin-Aski Ltd. specified Elevate UNA-CLAD UC-4 Metal Panels and Elevate RubberGard EPDM to meet the demands of this project to provide the right balance between performance, durability, and aesthetics.

The UNA-CLAD UC-4 metal panels were chosen for their durability, wind-uplift resistance, and design freedom. These panels provide a self-locking, architectural standing seam metal roof panel that eliminates the need for clips. Plus, the easy snap-together seam saves installation time. The versatile colour options complement the building’s architectural intent, blending functionality with modern aesthetics. Additionally, their ability to integrate seamlessly with other roofing materials provides flexibility.

RubberGard EPDM was selected for its proven performance, durability and flexibility over a wide range of building types. With exceptional weatherability, this system delivers reliable performance even under prolonged exposure to harsh elements.

The combination of these systems ensures robust protection against weather challenges while achieving the desired aesthetic and functional goals. Supported by Elevate's industry-leading 20-Year Red Shield™ Warranty, the project is secured with long-term peace of mind, delivering both superior craftsmanship and performance.
