When it comes to protecting your commercial building’s roof while providing secure mounting for essential equipment, Unistrut roof top supports offer the perfect solution. At Steinco Industrial Solutions, we’ve been supplying premium Unistrut roof top supports for over 30 years, helping businesses across Ohio and beyond create safe, durable, and code-compliant rooftop installations.
What Are Unistrut Roof Top Supports?
Unistrut roof top supports are engineered, non-penetrating mounting systems designed to securely hold HVAC equipment, piping, ductwork, conduit, and other mechanical systems on commercial rooftops. Unlike traditional mounting methods that require drilling holes through the roof membrane, these innovative supports distribute weight evenly across the roof surface using specially designed rubber bases, eliminating the risk of leaks and structural damage.
The versatility of Unistrut roof top supports makes them the preferred choice for engineers, contractors, and facility managers who need reliable, long-lasting solutions that won’t compromise roof integrity.
