Association Offers Free Retrofit Metal Roofing Guide

By Marco Industries.

If you install metal roofing, new construction can be a good source of income. But look at all the existing homes and buildings around: retrofitting represents an even larger pool of prospective customers. 

While Marco Industries offers you the best roofing ventilation and accessories for metal roofs, the Metal Construction Association (MCA) has published a design guide to help you with all the details. The manual, “Retrofit Metal Roofing,” is free to download, whether or not you are an MCA member.

Published earlier this year, the free guide is a “comprehensive metal roofing retrofit manual for the latest code-compliant and market-ready materials, methods and practices to successfully re-roof buildings using state of the art metal roofing and light-gauge steel framing systems.”

Chapters in the guide include:

• Market history

• Fundamentals

• Applications

• Framing systems

• Assembly details

• Metal roofing systems

• Energy savings

“As metal roof systems are being increasingly used to replace or re-roof over the top of conventional roofing systems, it’s more important than ever for building owners, managers, design professionals, and contractors to understand how these systems work, and their advantages over other re-roofing methods,” said Mark James, chairman of MCA’s Retrofit Council.
