Compliance with ES1 Perimeter Edge Requirements

Properly designing and specifying code-compliant edge-metal flashings is a relatively complex task and complicated by having to know which specific editions of the building code, ANSI/SPRI ES-1 and ASCE 7 are applicable. NRCA has developed guidelines for complying with building codes using ANSI/SPRI ES-1 to help roof system designers properly design and specify code-compliant edge-metal flashings. Don’t miss this session where Mark Graham will review these guidelines.
