Last month’s articles highlighted a recurring theme throughout the industry: severe weather. With the coming winter months, homeowners are frantically decorating their homes for the inevitable visit from the relatives, crossing off the long list of gifts they need to buy and ensuring their home won’t be damaged by frigid weather and snowstorms as they hang holiday lights. Don’t miss this article from the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) for their top 12 tips for preparing for winter’s wrath, both inside and outside your home. 

While South Carolina won’t be preparing for snow this year, the threat of hurricanes lingers in the background of any new construction project. The MRA chose one coastal home as its Best Residential Metal Roofing Project competition winner for its gorgeous architectural style and extreme resiliency. Its custom metal roof, fabricated by Jet Metals using Drexel Metals’ coil, will withstand the coastal, ocean air, protecting the home from moisture, corrosion and high winds for decades.  

As extreme weather events continue to increase in number and severity, Westlake Royal Building Products™ has started a strategic investment initiative to increase the capacity and operations of Newpoint™ Concrete Roof Tile in the state of Florida. The most read article of last month outlines the details of this initiative and the enhancements the company is making for two of its Florida manufacturing facilities. Newpoint Concrete Roof Tile is specially designed to withstand harsh weather and when used in conjunction with Westlake Royal™ Roofing Components, contractors can offer the highest standard of roof installation and performance to their customers.
