AutoCAD Details

autocad_0Dimensional Metals has been setting the standard for Architectural Sheet Metal detailing for three decades. We are often the source design professionals turn to for the best in watertight detailing and to solve difficult or challenging roof and wall conditions. Our Engineering Department utilizes these details in producing shop drawings in conjunction with our manufacturer issued Watertight Warranties.

For your convenience, we offer over 2400 details for download. Our SSMR details are cataloged into five categories pertaining to the roof deck condition and the slope of the roof. Please select the appropriate deck condition the roof panels will be installed over: Polyiso Insulation, Wood Decking (plywood) or Purlin (open framing).

Furthermore, we separate the deck conditions into both Architectural and Hydrostatic detailing. Generally, Architectural details are utilized on Standing Seam Metal Roofing with a slope of 3:12 and greater. Hydrostatic detailing is utilized for roof conditions on open purlins; roofs with less than a 3:12 slope; as well as, other difficult watertightness conditions and conditions requiring special attention to expansion and contraction.

We offer our Metal Wall Details in both Horizontal and Vertical applications.

Building Green

In today’s society with energy costs continuing to rise there is a movement to build more efficient building structures. These structures are able to reduce cooling load costs and contain environmentally sustainable friendly materials.

Whether you are a homeowner or a commercial building owner Dimensional Metals, Inc.’s metal roofing can help your project meet these green building practices. Our roofing’s durability and installed longevity make it a highly sustainable material. Our roofing material is not only produced with recycled material it is 100% recyclable which prevents material from going into landfills.

Our DynaClad® “Cool Metal Roofing” finishes help reflect solar radiation from the roof surface lowering surface temperatures to help reduce energy consumption by lowering cooling loads. In addition, there are programs in place that may allow your project to qualify for a tax credit such as LEED.

DMI’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) will assist in your design and construction with our sustainable building materials. These third party verified documents report environmental impact data on Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for your projects. These are all in accordance with international standard ISO 14025, Type III Environmental Declarations. The documents display environmentally responsible and energy efficient material options and provide comparisons of similar products.

LEED Credits

What is LEED?

logo-usgbcThe Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.

Who Uses LEED?

Architects, real estate professionals, facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, lenders and government officials all use LEED to help transform the built environment to sustainability. State and local governments across the country are adopting LEED for public-owned and public-funded buildings; there are LEED initiatives in federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Agriculture, Energy, and State; and LEED projects are in progress in 41 different countries, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico and India.

How is LEED Developed?

LEED Rating Systems are developed through an open, consensus-based process led by LEED committees. Each volunteer committee is composed of a diverse group of practitioners and experts representing a cross-section of the building and construction industry. The key elements of USGBC’s consensus process include a balanced and transparent committee structure, technical advisory groups that ensure scientific consistency and rigor, opportunities for stakeholder comment and review, member ballot of new rating systems, and a fair and open appeals process.
