Marley is
helping to make roof system specification easier with the launch of a new
version of its popular roofing guide.
The 2017 Roof Systems Specification Guide now includes all of the information architects need
to design and specify a complete pitched roof system, ensuring compliance with
BS 5534 and reducing the risk of product substitution.
Marley’s new
guide covers more roofing elements than ever before, from battens and underlay
to clay and concrete tiles, fibre cement slates, profiled sheeting, shingles
and shakes, right through to ventilation and fixings. It covers all aspects
of roofing design and practice, including building regulations and standards,
as well as the management of condensation, thermal insulation and weather
resistance.
Alex Gill from
Marley, explains: “Just like the rest of the construction industry, we
know that architects and other specifiers are increasingly stretched. With more
projects, less time, new innovations and changing regulations, they can’t be
experts on all products. That’s where support from manufacturers is vital
and resources like our new Roof System Specification Guide can be
invaluable. We’re sure that this new, more comprehensive, guide will
prove even more popular than previous editions.
“Recent figures from
the NBS Specification survey show that 78 per cent of respondents think product
substitution is still an issue in the industry, so there is a clear role for
manufacturers to support specifiers in developing robust specifications that
protect design intent.
"Using a
complete tested roof system from Marley can help specifiers take
greater control of the supply chain, with less risk of product substitution
further down the line. It also delivers clear levels of accountability
and integration, giving greater protection to specifiers by helping to reduce
risk to their design liability.”
Marley offers the most comprehensive pitched roof
system on the market, with more elements guaranteed to work together than any
other manufacturer and a fifteen year system guarantee.
