The Summit Aquatic Center reroof project was necessary to solve a great number of problems with a previous effort. Correcting these issues required full redesign of perimeter substrate framing and replacement of damaged plywood decking.

Problems included lack of vapor barrier, missing insulation, improper control of negative pressure, overly long panels, and poorly designed and executed panel transverse seams.

The new roof solution includes 25,000 square feet of 16 ounce copper standing seam installed over high temperature underlayment, plywood, insulation, and air and vapor barrier on top of the existing steel deck.

The Aquatic Center now has a beautiful new, long lasting roof system capable of providing the 100 years possible with copper.
