Top March stories: Community, awards and innovation

By Emma Peterson.

Our stories from this month highlight community connections and new products!

While the roofing industry continues to grow and change, two things stay the same — how important community is and how good this industry is at innovating and adapting. This is something that was on display this last month as we look back at our top articles of March 2025.  

We saw the innovation of the industry on full display with two of our top articles highlighting new products that are changing the game in their respective sectors. Attic Breeze announced that their Gen 3 fans were approved for use in High-velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) by the Florida Building Code (FBC). This month also saw the introduction of Westlake Royal Building Products’ Citadel™ PRO self-adhered poly-coated base sheet. Also designed for the Florida market, this product “provides superior protection and simplified installation for roofers, when compared to mechanically fastened base sheets.”

On the matter of community, our top article from the month was about how IKO Industries and Madge Custom Roofing, both Candian-founded companies, work together through IKO’s ROOFPRO program to deliver high-quality work and top customer service to their clients. Additionally, an article about The Coffee Shops’ own industry community, our R-Club roofing professionals, made the list. In the article, we learn about the story of Jolly Roofing directly from Roger Glaude (their financial controller) and Trip Swords (their CFO).
