For over 30 years, Firestone Building Products’ UNA-CLAD Metal Roofing Systems have set the standard for architectural metal roofing in the construction industry. Recognized worldwide for outstanding construction quality and innovative design, UNA-CLAD standing seam metal roofs offer Rhode Island property owners a roofing solution that combines lasting beauty, exceptional durability, and sustainable performance.
UNA-CLAD’s Red Shield Warranty series includes four premium standing seam panel systems, each engineered for specific applications. The UC-3 features a double-lock standing seam with mechanical sealing for a virtually leak-proof connection, available in steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. The UC-4 uses a patented snap-lock design that eliminates the need for clips, reducing labor by up to 30% while maintaining superior leak resistance. The UC-6 utilizes proven Pittsburgh Locking with a floating concealed-clip assembly for outstanding wind uplift resistance. The UC-14 features a concealed-clip snap-lock seam system that accommodates very long panels with free thermal expansion and contraction.
Beyond standing seam, UNA-CLAD offers the UC-7 architectural system for creating roofs with distinct lines, radii, and complex geometries. For cost-effective applications, profiled panel systems like the 5V-Crimp, UC-600, and UC-601 provide strong, economical solutions for a variety of environments.
UNA-CLAD panels are available in painted steel, painted and anodized aluminum, architectural-grade sheet copper, and zinc. With over 31 standard PVDF-painted colors featuring Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® coatings, plus metallic finishes, wood grains, and custom options, the design possibilities are virtually unlimited. Panel profiles include striated, flat rib, and pencil rib options to add visual interest and minimize oil-canning.
Firestone’s Red Shield Warranty provides industry-leading coverage with no-dollar-limit liability, covering the complete roofing system edge to edge. Warranty terms range from 5 to 20 years, with Platinum 30-year coverage available on select systems. Paint warranties extend 30 to 40 years against fade and chalk. All warranties are transferable from owner to owner, adding long-term value to your property investment.
Metal roofing is inherently sustainable—100% recyclable at end of life. Reflective finishes reduce cooling costs, and the CLAD-GARD™ roofing underlayment provides additional moisture protection and worker safety during installation. These metal roofs freely expand and contract with temperature changes without damaging the substrate, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
Metal roofing installation demands precision and expertise. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights provides professional UNA-CLAD installation for both residential and commercial properties throughout Rhode Island. From design consultation through final inspection, we ensure your metal roof delivers the performance and beauty you expect.
