FRP Building Products Used for Salt Storage Building

The project was to replace the roofing panels, purlins and ridge ventilation system on a salt storage building. The previous roofing panels had weathered and the steel purlins had deteriorated from corrosion. The roofing materials are continuously exposed to salt’s corrosive nature as well as high snow loads during winter months. In addition to the client needing corrosion-resistant products with adequate structural performance to avoid the significant time and cost of additional future roof maintenance, they also realize the benefits of an aesthetically pleasing, light-transmitting roof cladding with increased UV stabilization.
