Increasing efficient flute fill retrofits with Eliminailer-T

By Metal-Era. 

Simple solution makes installs effortless and wood nailers obsolete.  

Eliminailer-T helps streamline retrofit applications! While time-consuming wood blocking assemblies are typically used, Eliminailer-T offers a metal alternative that is faster to install, reducing time and labor requirements. Eliminailer-T can secure, straighten and strengthen the edge, protecting the roof system from premature failure. Serving as a substitute for wood nailers, Eliminailer-T comes equipped with a Lifetime, 215 MPH Wind Warranty, which offers significant benefits for both the roofer and the building owner. 

Installing a flute fill metal roof usually means lots of prep, time and labor to complete all the steps required. Cutting individual wood blocking assemblies to properly fit each pan is an inefficient pain. Metal-Era is solving for flute-fill applications with Eliminailer-T, a heavy gauge aluminum extrusion that serves as an alternative to wood nailers.  Simply fasten Eliminailer-T using the pre-punched holes and provided fasteners and move on down the line. Easy, fast, straight and accurate.  

There are other benefits, too! Eliminailer-T won’t rot, warp or deteriorate like wood. Wood can become a food source for insects, but not Eliminailer-T with its aluminum construction. It’s also non-combustible. Traditional flute fill installations leave a triangular opening at the corners, allowing water and insects to get in and wreak havoc. 

Additionally, replacing wood blocking assemblies with Eliminailer-T provides thermal improvements for the building by allowing continuous insulation all the way to the edge.  

Alan Schweiss of Architectural Pro Council in Missouri is already a fan of this metal alternative to wood nailers. 

“Eliminailer-T is an extraordinary product that solves for a lot of different applications,” says Schweiss, “On metal retrofit flute fill projects, using Eliminailer-T is a no brainer. It installs extremely fast and straightens everything out. Wood nailers are usually crooked and uneven and Eliminailer fixes all that. It eliminates the rotting and inconsistency we see with wood. I believe everyone should try Eliminailer-T – they’ll see the benefits right away.”
