Webinar On-Demand
An intermediate review of the multiple factors that affect the evaluation, selection, pricing and installation of architectural metal cladding systems. These factors include the different types of metal roof and wall systems, materials used in manufacturing, fastener types as well as environmental issues such as saltwater and wind speed. Structural issues including building framing, roof slope, curving, perforation and more are addressed. Finally, a review of cost assessment and how it’s affected by sustainability needs, installation concerns and jobsite best practices rounds out this course.
