All About the Edge
Description:
An introduction to the design, testing, and performance of edge metal systems for low-slope roofs. This presentation will go over the basics of edge metal, describe the importance of the perimeter edge in relation to the total roof system, explain the history behind metal roof edge standards such as ANSI/SPRI/ES-1, discuss detail updates to roof edge standards, and explain performance and test ratings/protocol.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance of a quality perimeter roof edge
- Understand the ANSI/SPRI/FM-4435 ES-1 standard
- Understand test protocols that are followed and how performance ratings are established
- Understand how to specify certified edge metal and how to ensure it meets the IBC building code standards
- Provide insight on the importance of using quality edge metal and the fact that over 60% of roof failures are due to the installation of inadequate edge metal that does not follow the prescribed ANSI/SPRI/ES-1 testing or meet building code.
