    Page 4 goes into little detail. In the areas I've worked in that's the norm, not saying it's correct but warranty on a metal roof involve proper screw placement. We use to use lead capped nails and then the industry went to rubber washer nails and now these screws. I've not seen a problem with rotting rubber washers. If that's the case there would be huge problems with rubber membrane roofs, which I haven't seen. Can't ay that the rubber formulation hasn't changed.

    Might be the climate, too. It's summer year round at YCC's house.

    I was thinking that too, deep humid south LOL I wonder if it could possibly been a bad run of rubber. I've been to atlanta and noticed rubber membrane roofs, that's about as far south I've been except fot east texas.

    They use the rubber washered screws here also. I have a couple buildings that have been up for several years now and don't appear to be leaking because of washer failures.Btw a couple sheds I've taken down for the tin had just plain old nails holding the tin on them. Must be an east Texas thing .Huh?
