Availability and Cost

MONARCH panels are readily available through ATAS product distributors. A complete line of accessories in matching or coordinating colors is available to complete a project. Valleys, Ridge Caps, Gable and Eave trims are formed to customer specifications. Ridge Caps, Soffit or other Trim Designs can be lanced for ventilation. Coil stock or flat sheet can be provided for field fabrication of custom flashings.

Cost:
Contact ATAS product distributors for cost.

Installation

With the lock and seam being an integral part of the panel, there are no caps or strips to install. Field seaming of the panel is not required. The panel is snapped onto the previously installed panel, a clip is hooked over the “leg” of the panel, and this is concealed by the batten of the consecutive panel. A 4 in 12 slope is recommended. Minimum slope is 2:12. ATAS also manufactures a complete lightweight framing system for converting flat roofs to the correct slope.

Maintenance

MONARCH panels are virtually maintenance free. The high quality finish will not fade, chalk, crack or peel, and since the substrate is metal, the panel will not warp, rot or break. Surface residue may be easily removed by conventional cleaning methods. Minor scratches may be touched up with a matching paint, available from the manufacturer.
