Manuals

Informing & educating at every step
Customer education is an important part of what we do, and we are happy to provide detail manuals (instruction manuals) that are in-depth and detailed yet still readable. These manuals represent our current recommendations for installation, and are based on industry standards, feedback from the field, and the expertise of our internal team. Many DIY homeowners have installed their first metal roof based on these manuals (possibly with a little help from youtube).
In the state of Florida, installation must also conform with the appropriate product approval. View all of our product approvals here.
For more information, contact our knowledgeable sales team or check out our blog for a growing collection of helpful articles. We also offer a Contractor’s Advantage training course which features classroom and hands-on instruction.
