In a recent study by FM, 80% of global losses from wind were roofing system failures, and 59% occurred because the roof perimeter failed. Not often discussed is the wood nailer and its role in the securement of the perimeter edge metal—a critical component to the strength and longevity of the roof.

On October 29th at 2pm EST we have a free webinar that discusses this topic, "Wood Nailer Alternatives: Sustainable Solutions to Enhance Roof Perimeter Security and Strength".

Eric Younkin, the head of the Products & Engineered Services team for Carlisle Architectural Metals, joined us recently to discuss the webinar.

Learn more about this crucial component, the nailer’s impact on the roof edge, and how it contributes to the sustainability of the building during this live webinar, and listen in to Eric chat about the webinar now.
