Nobody else in the nation hot forms. Everlast rolls their steel at high temperatures to prevent their coatings such as paint from microscopic cracking at the bends. If you look at the bends of a panel with a 40-power magnifier you'll notice very visible cracks in the paint if it is not hot formed, unless softer less scratch resistant paints were used. Everlast uses harder paints so their panels don't scratch as easy as other brands using the softer paints. During erection the softer paints get scratched more easily, not to mention walking on it, debris from storms flying against it, sliding snow and ice, leaning ladders and children's play.
Scratches cause early failure.
Another thing Everlast has done is use a lot more galvanizing on their Everlast II panel than their competitors do. They also use zinc phosphate to make their paints adhere better, use more bends in their board and batten design to make it significantly stronger, more attractive, and withstand greater snow and wind loads, and they use heavier and stronger steel on their metal roofing and siding.
