Every year for The Idea Book issue we ask you—the readers, manufacturers, suppliers, metal roofers, and associations—to submit the projects which you are most proud of. We ask you what the challenges were and what you think worked best to make these projects a success.

We receive many different and unique projects, ranging from equine facilities to courthouses, other government buildings, residential homes, marinas—to name just a few. But, the main material that stands out with all of these projects is metal. What a beautiful thing.

This unique issue—The Idea Book—examines signature metal roofing projects from an architectural viewpoint, highlighting the colors, curves, angles, materials, and other design possibilities of metal roofing and walls. They all have unique aesthetics that are special in their own way. Many posed challenges, but with all of your hard work and dedication, they all came out a huge success and you should be extremely proud of what you do.

We hope you enjoy this year’s Idea Book as much as we do.
