Englert offers courses for AIA-CEU for Architects. We currently have courses on:  Metal Roof Design in HVHZs: Best Practices for Architects and Roof Designers The beaches and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean are some of the advantages of living in Florida. However, the extreme wind forces from hurricanes can easily damage even the strongest buildings and cause billions of dollars in property loss. As a result, certain areas of Florida―Miami-Dade and Broward Counties—have been designated High Velocity Hurricane Zones. The building products used in these zones must be laboratory tested to meet extreme wind and pressure performance standards. This course explains why a metal roof system designed to minimize the damage from hurricanes is important. Standing Seam Metal Roofing: Prepainted Architectural and Structural Panel Systems A metal roof combines performance and aesthetics to give commercial and residential buildings strength, longevity, and character. This course examines the features and benefits of standing seam metal roofing and explains the factors to consider when selecting a project-specific metal roofing system.

What to Look For in a Metal Roofing Supplier In today’s competitive business environment, it’s critical to put your company in the best possible position to be successful. You must align yourself with professionals who won’t let you down. Whether you’re looking for a new supplier, contractor, or sub-contractor to assist in completing your metal roofing projects, you want to ensure that their values and goals align with yours and that they’re willing to work for you and your clients 24/7. You want a supplier that can help create business opportunities and provide solutions for you, whether you are an architect, a contractor, or a building owner. Completing a project is a team effort that starts well before the first slab of concrete is poured and doesn’t end until the customer is satisfied with the result.

Why Metal Roofs are Sustainable Metal roof systems have long been popular with architects for their aesthetics and long-term performance characteristics, particularly their low maintenance costs and durability. But now, with the concept of sustainability so widely embraced by the architectural community, metal roofs are being seen in a new light. Metal roofs’ long life, high recycled content, total recyclability, and energy efficiency allow“cool metal roofs” to play a pivotal and vital role in creating the condition under which “humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations.” Metal roofing products last longer than conventional ones and are 100 percent recyclable. In contrast to conventional roofing products, there’s no need to replace a product that needs large amounts of petroleum and large areas of landfills to get rid of it.

Select a Quality Metal Roof Supplier Quality is king when selecting a metal supplier for your customer’s metal roofing or gutter project. There are many credible metal suppliers to choose from, but it’s essential to know that the supplier you’ve selected is as concerned about the outcome of your installation as you are. Be careful to choose a supplier who subjects all the painted coils it produces to a comprehensive quality check before every coil leaves their facility and arrives at your location or job site. Why is this important, you ask? Without subjecting the coil you purchase to a stringent battery of tests before it leaves the paint line, you and your customer are playing Russian roulette concerning the project you are working on. Comprehensive QA testing will ensure that the coating on the coil you receive has the precise color, gloss, adhesion, and durability you’ve been promised and that your customer expects.

Choosing the Right Metal Roofing Contractor Not all metal roofing contractors are alike. Some are big, national companies with the ability to coordinate and staff a wide range of residential and commercial projects. Others are small family-owned companies with a couple of full-time people who hire part-time workers depending on the job size. Regardless of the size, you want a company where professionals will deliver a quality standing seam metal roof system at an honest price. Here are some questions you can ask and some guidelines you can follow to help you make that choice: Learn more about Englert’s solutions for choosing the right metal roofing contractor.

Low Price Metal Roofs, Be Careful What You Wish For How often are your decisions driven exclusively by price and nothing else? If the answer is always, you may want to consider your reasoning moving forward. A  metal roof system is more than a temporary cover for a commercial building or home. The quality of the material, the quality of the paint that covers that metal roof, and the support you get from the metal roofing manufacturer covering the material and the paint finish are critical. Remember the old Chinese proverb – Be careful what you wish for. Well, be careful because you might get your wish! How often have you heard the story about a loyal, long-standing customer leaving their current supplier to pursue a lower-cost product? It happens all the time.
