The perimeter roof edge is responsible for the securement of the entire building envelope. 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. 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.
