With installation that's a snap compared to other roof edge designs, Metal-Era fascia products save you lots of time. Just as important, these prefabricated components come in a range of great-looking styles for your building. They're tested to the strictest building codes, and are backed by some of the strongest warranties in the industry. Anchor-Tite is the best of the best. These fascia and coping products combine custom engineering and superior performance with an attractive appearance. We developed Edge Systems One with the contractor in mind.

With a unique design that improves performance while complementing your roof's aesthetic qualities, Metal-Era's line of water drainage products is the only system that's Factory Mutual approved. Custom engineering, such as the heavy aluminum gutter strap design, also promotes ease of installation and helps withstand harsh environments. The unique design, superior performance in maximum roof drainage, and attractive appearance make Seal-Tite gutters and downspouts stand out from the crowd. Our factory-fabricated accessories are the perfect complement to our large selection of products.

Finding the right products that meet the building requirements, fit within your schedule, and most importantly, reduce your labor time and costs, can make a big difference in your bottom line. This is especially true in the case of roofing: one of the last steps in the construction process, when it's vital to finish the project on time. Contrary to your typical shop fabricated metal, Metal-Era's pre-engineered roof edge systems are designed to maximize contractor efficiencies. With a simple installation process and no on-site fabrication required, you can complete the job and move on to your next project quicker.

Across industries and across the country, architects and contractors count on Metal-Era roof edge and ventilation products to save time, improve aesthetics, and ensure quality in their projects. Metal-Era works with schools, universities, and other educational institutions across the country striving to create welcoming, safe facilities while keeping costs down. Metal-Era has partnered with numerous hospitals and healthcare facilities to provide high-performance, great-looking, and cost-effective building envelope solutions.

Here at Metal-Era we take pride in our commitment to sustainability through continual environmental, social, and economic initiatives, both internally and externally. We strive to help our customers achieve their own sustainability goals by extending the serviceable life of the building envelope. We aim to provide sustainable roofing products, to protect the environment, and to practice corporate responsibility through our everyday operations and continued recycling efforts. 95% of the materials we use for our products are sustainable, including our reusable extruded aluminum bar and recyclable galvanized steel covers.

Metal-Era was founded as a small manufacturing plant in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in 1980. By the late 1980s, we had already grown enough to move into a 44,000-square-foot facility. Metal-Era's business has continued to grow rapidly by introducing new brands like our contractor-friendly Edge Systems One while expanding into new areas like ventilation with our innovative Airflow Solutions products. To accommodate such growth, we've continued to expand our manufacturing, warehouse, and administrative space, and Metal-Era now occupies more than 100,000 square feet.

Time, cost, and aesthetics are arguably the three most important factors in the success of any retail construction project - and three of the key advantages of using Metal-Era roof edge and ventilation products. Retail developers turn to our team for a wide array of fascia and coping solutions that are quick, easy to spec, and look great. You guys made a quality product that was easy to install; and the finished product turned out great.
