The Idea Book is Metal Roofing Magazine’s annual metal roof showcase edition. Each year, the May edition is filled with outstanding metal roofing projects. First appearing in 2005, the tradition of a project-promoting issue began 20 years ago. In the past few years, metal has been making slow but steady gains in the roofing market. Our goal is to fill each year’s Idea Book with projects that illustrate the best of the best. Additionally, it can highlight emerging trends — such as the increasing use of metal shingles — as well as new designs and materials, so roofer-subscribers can be inspired to better identify opportunities and meet market demands.
Many benefits come from participating in the Idea Book program for both subscribers and project contributors. First and foremost, contributors get their company published — at no cost, since there is no fee to submit a project or have it published — in a national trade publication. Your company can help set the standard for what a great-looking, long-lasting metal roof should be. Promoting what your company is capable of helps establish it as an expert and leader in the industry.
As readers review the published projects, the message they see is: “This is how great a metal roof can look.”
Metal Roofing Magazine, launched in 2001, is dedicated to the metal roofing industry. As a professional, you provide clients with solutions to their roofing needs, whether the need is topping off a new structure or replacing a commercial, industrial, or residential roof. By showcasing a metal roofing project as a solution to a common problem, you can inspire other roofers to improve their performance and help move the industry forward.
The Idea Book offers the chance to show the industry your accomplishments in metal roofing. Or, if you are a supplier or manufacturer, what can be achieved with the materials you offer. If you have an outstanding metal roofing project that you’d like to have published, we’re looking for finished projects. All you have to do is send us a list of materials/components used, a brief description, and a few other details. We’ll take care of the rest.
If your project is selected to be published, we’ll supply you with a badge to use in your marketing and promotional materials and a ready-to-circulate announcement to share with your local media outlets.
By showcasing the possibilities of what can be achieved with metal roofing, we can all help move the industry forward. Today is the day to inspire your peers by contributing a project for the Metal Roofing Idea Book. The easiest way to contribute a project is to visit https://readmetalroofing.com/metal-roofing-project-submission-form/ (or scan the QR code). Fill in the blanks (company and project details, plus a list of components used) and upload a few clear, high-resolution images. Once you’ve done that, you’ll receive a confirmation that we’ve received your project information. It’s that easy.
