Following the successful launch of its ‘Think roofs – think NFRC’ campaign exclusively for the architectural and specification community, the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) - the UK’s largest roofing trade association - is pulling out all the stops at this year’s Ecobuild to demonstrate its ongoing commitment to this sector.
For the first time, NFRC will be hosting the Roofing Pavilion and joining them will be 15 member manufacturers who will be putting on a number of product demonstrations over the course of the show. NFRC will also be providing help and advice from Technical Managers on the Federation’s strict code of practice and standards, vetting procedures, training and wide-ranging technical support covering all roofing disciplines.
CompetentRoofer - the Government-authorised Competent Person Scheme that enables members to self-certify that roofing refurbishment works are compliant with Building Regulations in England and Wales - will also be exhibiting in the Roofing Pavilion. Now an accredited body for Green Deal and ECO, member companies can become Green Deal and ECO authorised in one simple procedure which is a further benefit to architects and specifiers.
Commenting on its attendance at Ecobuild, Ray Horwood CBE, Chief Executive of NFRC said: “We have had an overwhelming response from architects and specifiers to our ‘Think roofs – think NFRC’ campaign, so naturally Ecobuild provides the ideal forum at which to further raise our profile to this sector.”
Ray adds: “In a fast-changing construction environment, it’s more important than ever that architects and specifiers keep abreast of developments within the roofing industry such as BIM supply chain and CompetentRoofer, and NFRC is the vehicle to make this happen.”
Stand: N440 and N450 in the Roofing Pavilion.
