About A.R.B.S

We would like to introduce to you a revolutionary new product that when incorporated into your roofing system provides incomparable perimeter wind uplift resistance through its innovative design. This product eliminates the need for wood blocking to be used within your roofing assembly, therefore allowing a Class A Fire Rating to be achieved. This revolutionary new product is A.R.B.S. Alternative Roof Blocking System. A.R.B.S. is a US and internationally patented system that is non combustible and designed to encapsulate the lightweight concrete or insulation at a roofs perimeter edge, expansion joints and parapet walls. A.R.B.S. unlike other traditional wood blocking methods is far less susceptible to damage and deterioration from moisture, insects, and other natural enemies, which commonly caused wood blocking to fail prematurely weakening a roof at its most vulnerable point. Pre-formed and fabricated to accommodate various roof insulations of any thickness including light weight insulating concrete tapered systems. The Alternative Roof Blocking System is fabricated from 16 gauge galvanized steel also incorporates a cleat as an integral part of its design, thereby allowing your metal flashings (ex. drip edge, fascia) to be attached directly to the structure. In addition all components expansion joints, cant strips, parapet blocking and perimeter blocking incorporate venting which allows moisture and gases to be released from the roof assembly. And pre-punched fastener holes alleviate human error during installation. Unlike wood, the Alternative Roof Blocking System is designed to encapsulate the edge of insulation and or lightweight concrete, thereby enhancing perimeter wind uplift resistance. The A.R.B.S. has been successfully incorporated into hundreds of hot asphalt, torch and cold applied roof assemblies with substantial savings associated with reduced material, fabrication and installation costs. Should you consider incorporating the alternative roof blocking system into your next roof assembly? You will not only obtain the benefits of a perimeter edge system that encapsulates the roof insulation, thereby dramatically increasing its perimeter wind uplift resistance. You will also be able maintain your systems Class A Fire Rating by eliminating combustible material (ex. Wood Blocking) from your assembly. So why not incorporate the A.R.B.S. in your next roofing project.
