Temple Emanu-El is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue designed by architect William C. Weston. and built in 1912. The original 5400 square foot neoclassical style copper dome stood proudly for its first 112 years but ultimately needed restoration. Skillful planning and execution allowed experienced contractor CopperWorks to complete the roof replacement, while maintaining the original design with only minor alterations in approximately three months. The time proven and adaptable standing seam roofing system was employed throughout the dome to which ornamental pieces were then fastened using special S5 clamps to prevent penetrating the roofs surface. The custom clamping system helps prevent the standing seam panels accommodate natural thermal expansion/contraction process, ensuring high performance for another century.
