Keeping with Roofing Contractor’s long tradition, our editors compared notes and assembled the following collection of products worth singling out with our annual Editor’s Choice awards.
A new year always brings out the best in industry manufacturers and professionals. They feel recharged, optimistic and ready to put their annual business strategies into play.
New products are always competing for the spotlight, and the Roofing Contractor editors make it a priority to check out the industry’s latest offerings.
The editors of Roofing Contractor see a lot of new products, so once a year after some of the big trade shows we put our heads together to single out some of the industry’s most recent innovations.
At trade shows, it seems everyone leads off with the same question: “What’s new?” New products are introduced to the world of roofing in a variety of ways, and new product announcements are often timed to coincide with the big trade shows, including METALCON, the International Builders Show (IBS) and the International Roofing Expo (IRE).
A tough economy often means that R & D dollars are harder to wring out of the budget. However, there are still innovations to be found at the roofing industry trade shows, including the International Roofing Expo (IRE), held this February in New Orleans.
The late fall and winter mark the season when the roofing and construction worlds are introduced to all manners of new materials, systems, accessories and equipment. The editors of Roofing Contractor like to follow up by sharing some of the items with which we have been most impressed.
New Year’s celebrations are always closely followed by the tradeshow season in the construction and roofing industry. It is that time of year when the vagaries of winter weather slow or stop most of the productive work in our business so contractors can devote some attention to new products and trends. Most manufacturers of building and roofing products and equipment take this opportunity to announce and show their new offerings during the winter tradeshows.
