Out now –third edition of FTMRC
Guide to Good Practice
One of the principle objectives
of the Federation of Traditional
Roofing Contractors is to improve
the workmanship standards
of installation and widen the
technical design knowledge
necessary to protect the integrity
of an installation.
The FTMRC was therefore
determined to collate and publish a
comprehensive technical Guide to
Good Practice in Fully Supported
Metal Roofing and Cladding, which
was first published in 2007 and
updated in 2012.
In 2018 an even better, much
extended and improved third
edition is now available in
laminated hardback and in digital
format suitable for PCs, laptops,
tablets and smartphones.
Containing over 120 pages of
technical information, more than
150 illustrations, plus tables,
charts and full colour photographs,
this essential guide for designers
and installers is set out in tabbed,
easy-to-read sections which cover
the general detailing requirements
for aluminium, copper, galvanised
and stainless steel, and zinc
roofing and cladding.
