Grafton conditions

  • 01

    Grafton sits in the heart of northern Valley sugarbeet and potato country, and its most demanding roofs are crop storage buildings rather than storefronts

  • 02

    Potato storage holds a narrow temperature and humidity band from harvest through spring, so a roof assembly that lets the dew point fall inside the building risks the crop, not just the ceiling

  • 03

    Grafton has no NOAA station of its own; its 38.8 inches of snow and 80F July high are Grand Forks' figures, about 40 miles south

  • 04

    Storage buildings in Walsh County are loaded for months rather than hours: the crop inside sets the interior humidity, and the roof assembly decides where that moisture condenses

  • 05

    Grafton's commercial roofs sit far enough north that the freeze holds without a thaw for long stretches, which concentrates the damaging cycles into spring and autumn

Where the buildings are

The Grafton commercial footprint

Grafton's commercial buildings serve the surrounding sugarbeet and potato country more than they serve a retail market. The most demanding roofs in the area sit over crop storage, where the building has to hold a narrow temperature and humidity band from harvest through spring, and where a roof assembly that lets the dew point fall inside the building puts the crop at risk rather than just the ceiling.
