Metal-Era is committed to long lasting, quality products, and the following quick facts demonstrate that our metal edges are designed to be safe with ACQ treated wood.

• Any Kynar© painted material in steel or aluminum is chemically inert and can be used in direct contact with ACQ pressure treated wood.
• The galvanized steel sheet use by Metal-Era is a hot dipped galvanized steel sheet produced on continuous coating line, by passing raw steel through a bath of molten zinc. Metal-Era galvanized steel has a G-90 coating (1.25 oz. per square foot), and can be used in direct contact with ACQ wood.
• All Anchor-Tite Systems use an extruded aluminum bar to terminate the roof edge. The membrane is covering the treated wood nailers, due to water proofing issues before the installation of the extruded aluminum bar. The extruded bar does not come in direct contact with ACQ, therefore, there is no reaction.
• Mill finish aluminum should not be used in direct contact with ACQ treated lumber. Spacer materials or other physical barriers are recommended (i.e. rubber, felt, etc.) to prevent direct contact of ACQ pressure-treated wood and mill finish aluminum products.
• Metal-Era recognizes the importance of using non-corrosive, code compliant fasteners. All Metal-Era Anchor-Tite products carry a Lifetime, 170 mph wind warranty, and therefore require the fasteners to be provided by Metal-Era. Metal-Era has changed all specifications to only provide stainless steel fasteners.

Metal-Era also provides private labeled metal edge products for roof membrane manufacturers (Carlisle, FiberTite, Firestone, GenFlex, Johns Manville, Koppers, Sika Sarnafil, Stevens, US Ply and Versico). All fasteners are provided as part of their full system warranty program. All private label specifications have been changed to provide stainless steel fasteners and hot-dipped, ring shank galvanized nails.
