Metal Roofing Magazine's Idea Book 2007

Here at Metal Roofing Magazine, we attempt to learn as we compile each and every issue. Then we pass on what we learn to our readers, to help them expand their knowledge and understanding of the metal roofing industry. We cover everything from historical restoration to new products, from aluminum to zinc, from eaves to ridge.

So far, we’ve been successful, meaning we’re learning all the time. For our special annual issue, the idea book, learning has always been the easy part. We hope the projects featured within these pages will present you with ideas for future projects. Because of the projects metal roofing manufacturers have submitted for us to publish in our three editions of the idea book, we are convinced there is a metal roofing system for almost any roof.

According to survey results found on “FacilityBlog from Today’s Facility Manager,” more than 60 percent of architects are specifying metal, more than any other roofing material. The survey, conducted by Accountability Information Management, also revealed manufacturers have some work to do if they expect architects to look specifically for their product.

The survey asked architects to provide a brand name or manufacturer of their favored brand. After the top five manufacturers listed, a large list pulled down 1 to 3 percent of the votes. “Roofing manufacturers are not effectively reaching architects who could specify their products,” says John Nowakowski, president of AIM. “As a result, many manufacturers and brands are lost in a crowded field of hopefuls.”

Not surprisingly, those top five manufacturers on the list have appeared in the idea book.
If you’re an architect who has worked with metal, you already know about metal’s durability and environmentally friendly qualities. We’re sure these projects will reconfirm your belief and knowledge of the design possibilities with metal.

We’re guessing you may learn something as well.

If you haven’t worked with metal, these projects will almost certainly dazzle you. Every year, the metal roofing manufacturers of vertical panels, exotic metal products, and metal shingles impress our staff with their favorite projects. Metal’s versatility allows you to complete a project with an endless spectrum of color, in a variety of shapes. These projects show what metal roofing products are capable of when pushed by creative minds.
