OMG Offers Alternative for Roofing Contractors Facing Lumber Price Increases

AGAWAM, Mass. — In the wake of the unprecedented lumber shortage and related price increase, OMG Roofing Products has two products — EdgeBox RI and PipeGuard Pipe Supports — that provide roofing contractors with ideal alternatives that are both economical and can help improve rooftop productivity and roof performance.

The system is made of heavy duty 20 gauge galvanized steel with reinforcing spines that will not rot, twist, or split like traditional lumber, ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1 tested and Factory Mutual approved with an FM 1-540 perimeter rating and FM 1-360 corner rating. In addition, EdgeBox RI is compatible with most commercial roofing systems, and available in any size to match existing nailers, up to 16-inches square.
