Hidden component to improve and strengthen roof security

By Dani Sheehan. 

Reserve this important seminar and learn how wood nailers impact the strength, durability and sustainability of your roof system. 

Our industry continues to evolve, and new information allows us to work toward a stronger, more sustainable built environment. Hickman Edge Systems proudly offers continuing education programs to help contractors, building consultants, and architects expand their industry knowledge while completing necessary education credits. By completing Wood Nailer Alternatives: Sustainable Solution to Enhance Roof Perimeter Security and Strength seminar, you’ll receive one AIA Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) Learning Unit along with one IIBEC Continuing Education Hour. 

A recent study by FM found that 80% of global wind-related losses are due to roofing system failures, and another study identified that 59% of losses were due to roof perimeter failures. This seminar approaches roof perimeter system through a hidden component, the nailer – either wood or metal – that is used to secure the perimeter edge metal. You’ll understand the role of nailers in roof perimeter systems and evaluate the impact of the nailer on the security of the roof edge. Learn from the latest industry standards and design guidelines and walk away with a better understanding of the nailer’s impact on building sustainability. 

No matter what point you’re at in your career, this seminar offers valuable insights into improving roofing system performance and safety. By exploring wood nailer alternatives, attendees can better support environmentally responsible construction practices by enhancing the overall durability of the system.
