MCRMA has produced a range of articles designed to educate specifiers and contractors alike on building envelope design, the systems available, their application, superior life expectancy and unrivalled value over other material alternatives.
MCRMA has written more than 50 articles for the trade press covering some of the many issues that affect the industry today. The articles are wide ranging and, for example, cover topics on sustainability, aesthetics, roof safety, site installation and guarantees.
Note:
Manufacturers are best placed to offer advice about their particular products and their published data should be closely adhered to; as any variation from their data during the design or construction process could result in the component or system failing prematurely or not complying with the guarantee or warranty conditions. Any uncertainty about the use or application of a product or system should be referred back to the manufacturer for detailed written advice.
