Curveline Inc. says its “crimp-curving” process can curve structural roof deck panels into S-curves, sine waves and other multiple-radius concave/convex shapes. The crimping process allows the manufacturer to create S-shaped panels up to 26 feet long when using 20-gauge or 22-gauge nestable decking, or up to 20 feet long with 18-gauge decking. The process does not require stretch forming or added structural support. Customers can buy standard or acoustical nestable B-deck panels in 22-gauge to 18-gauge steel and have them forwarded to the company for custom curving.

Thybar Corporation manufactures high load-bearing equipment mounting supports for roof installations of heating, ventilation and air conditioning units. The supports achieve their strength by using a series of internal bulkheads welded into position at specific intervals along the length of the rails. Standard construction includes: an 18-gauge galvanized steel shell, base plate and counter-flashing; factory-installed wood nailer; fully mitered end sections on two of three models; and internal bulkhead reinforcement.
