Canton, Mass. (PRWEB) May 08, 2014

Sika Corporation, the worldwide market leader in thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membranes, announced today that new Building Information Modeling (BIM) design files for Sarnafil roofing systems are available online and ready to download now.

The three files currently offered are: 1. Sarnafil roofing systems including all attachment methods for both mechanically attached and adhered roofing systems. 2. Sarnafil roofing details including the most common details found on a non-residential building. 3. Wall air barrier to roof tie-in details demonstrating how to tie-in a Sarnafil roofing system with a common wall air barrier typically found in a complete building envelope project.

One of the greatest assets with BIM is having all the information in one place. No longer will the 3-D model be located in one application and the product information in another. Now, members of the building team can simply click on a product listing and review all of its properties, said Stan Graveline, Vice President of Technical Services, Sika. Product warranty information can also be stored in the BIM design file, making it easy to find if needed in the future.

The Sarnafil roofing system BIM files allow building teams to customize a building model with the exact Sarnafil roofing system build-up that is specified for a job. Product details for roof system components such as insulation, vapor barriers and membranes are available. When a roof needs to be replaced decades from now and hard-copy product information is no longer available, the BIM file can be opened and everything anyone needs to know about products used in the roofing system will be readily accessible.

Jurin Roofing Services, Inc. takes their roofing services portfolio to the next level with the CSRP certification of Ed Mullen, Roof Asset Manager for Jurin Roofing Services. This new certification will allow Jurin Roofing to better assist their clients solar roofing installation needs.

Founded by the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing and National Roofing Contractors Association, Roof Integrated Solar Energy (RISE) Inc. was created to provide a means of evaluating and certifying solar roofing professionals to support the widespread use of rooftop solar energy.

RISE evaluates and certifies solar energy installers for knowledge about critical roof system construction and maintenance practices necessary to support successful rooftop solar energy installations without adversely affecting roof system performance and service life.

CSRP is a certification awarded by RISE to individuals who meet all the requirements for certification established by the RISE board of directors. In developing the CSRP program, the RISE board of directors has endeavored to follow the Standards for Accreditation of Certification Programs published by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. The RISE board of directors worked with professionals in relevant fields to develop a credential that identifies dependable and consistent criteria for evaluating expertise in the field.

This CSRP credential gives building owners the ability to differentiate qualified and unqualified installers and potentially avoid consequences such as voiding roof membrane warranties and direct or collateral damage to the roof or building. Leading roof system manufacturers recognize the value that a CSRP-credentialed installer can bring to a project, which is why many sponsor RISE, endorse the CSRP program and encourage building owners to choose a CSRP professional as a condition of warranty.

The CSRP credential ensures candidates have the knowledge required for a successful roof-mounted PV system installation taking into account both the importance of the roof system and the PV system for a building's value and uninterrupted use.

With the steady progression of solar roof arrays in the market today, it is important for Jurin Roofing Services to be able to assist our clients with the proper installation of these rooftop PV systems. Installers such as solar integrators and electricians sometimes lack the knowledge to assess these systems from a roof waterproofing standpoint. Thats where Jurin can help address some of the issues that fall outside the typical PV scope of work such as wind and heat load, roof life cycle performance and roof warranty protection. We help our clients take advantage of solar power technologies while ensuring the continued performance of their roof system.

Founded in 1974, Jurin Roofing Services, Inc. is known for top quality roofing throughout the east coast. Jurin Roofing Services is a full-service commercial roofing contractor offering roof maintenance, roof and leak repair, and roof replacements. Jurin Roofing Services also offers professional roof services such as roof consulting and infrared roof moisture scans. Jurin Roofing is also a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and is a Carlisle SynTec Hall of Fame and ESP (Excellence in Singly Ply) contractor.

The military uses drone aircraft to take out terrorists and for surveillance, but one local roofing company is using a drone to help its business domestically.

Luke Hansen, of White Castle Roofing, believes getting a birds-eye view for roofing estimates means an easier, safer job.

He uses an unmanned aircraft, commonly called a drone. The high-resolution video he gets tells him all he needs to know in a matter of minutes instead of hours.

The other day there was an apartment complex -- 11 buildings four stories tall -- that we blocked off six hours to see how many shingles had blown off. We flew over all the buildings, took a little quick video and it saved us five hours, Hansen said.

Hansen believes he can use a drone, despite a Federal Aviation Administration ban on commercial use. He referenced a video from Virginia where the pilot who shot it took the FAA to court and got a $10,000 fine dismissed.

What the judge said was these have been and are legal right now, Hansen said.

The FAA is appealing in the Virginia case, but it might not make any difference.

People are really starting to leave the FAA behind, said Matt Waite, with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Drone Lab.

Waite said the technology is so much better and cheaper than it used to be and that people have stopped waiting for the FAA to come up with specific regulations.

IRVINE, CA -- Boral Roofing LLC, the nation's largest provider of clay and concrete roof tile, is launching over 30 new cool colors in California, ideal for both new construction and reroof applications. Boral Roofing is partnering with leading designers and colorists to introduce trending exterior color palettes.

Unlike select roofing materials, Boral Roofing's cool color range is available at no added cost to the consumer. Consumers can choose from a range of colors at a standard price. Boral Roofing leads the nation with the largest Cool Roof Rating Council tile listing and offers choice ENERGY STAR rated colors.

With the inherent beauty and energy benefits of concrete tile, cool roof colors do not have to be white. Boral Roofing offers a vibrant selection of earth tones, terra cottas and cool greys that meet or exceed cool roof standards. These beautiful cool colors are available in a wide range of styles and textures to fit any architectural design.

As the industry leader, Boral Roofing has been on the forefront of cool roofing with an established color range, continually expanding cool roof colors to fit new trends. Cool roofing is paramount in states such as California pursuing a net zero energy building code by 2020. California Title 24 building codes are requiring increased cool roof performance in select regions that take effect on July 1, 2014.

According to Kayla Kratz, Product Manager, these new colors will provide a great fit in the market with the increased demand of cool roof products, "There's a real need for building materials to have the highest standards of energy efficiency without compromising aesthetics," Kratz said. "Our goal with this new offering is to support our customers and provide the cool roof products they need," she added.

The California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards were established to reduce California's energy consumption. Cool roofs are highly reflective, highly emissive roofing materials that stay cooler than a normal roof under a hot summer sun, offering homeowners considerable energy cost savings.

About Boral Roofing: Boral Roofing LLC is a subsidiary of Boral USA and is the country's largest premium provider of complete roofing and re-roofing solutions for architects as well as commercial and residential builders. Boral Roofing operates 13 clay and concrete tile manufacturing plants throughout the U.S.
