Mistakes to Avoid When Designing Metal Roof Systems
Presented by Petersen
An intermediate review of the multiple factors that affect the design of a standing-seam metal roof system—and when those factors should be addressed. The session examines slopes, penetrations, flashings, transitions, rooftop equipment and other conditions through real-world examples of problems that can arise when important design considerations are overlooked or addressed too late.
Attendees will learn how early coordination can reduce field complications, manage construction costs and better reconcile owner and design-team expectations with installation realities.
The Art of Metal Wall Panels
Presented by Petersen
An advanced review of exposed- and concealed-fastener metal wall panel profiles, proper applications and field-flashing details. The session uses practical examples to examine critical design requirements, common problem areas and the relationship between panel selection, structural loads, environmental efficiency, sustainability and product performance.
Attendees will gain insight into incorporating wind-load requirements and key flashing conditions during design development to support a watertight, high-performing and visually successful wall-panel installation.
Metal Composite Material (MCM): Components, Systems, and Performance
Presented by Citadel Architectural Products
Metal composite material (MCM), also commonly referred to as aluminum composite material (ACM) when aluminum skins are used, offers designers a versatile cladding solution for a wide range of architectural applications. This course examines how panel components, manufacturing methods, attachment systems, and application conditions influence performance, fabrication, and installation. Program content compares common barrier and rainscreen approaches, along with field-assembled and shop-fabricated systems, and explores how these choices affect moisture management, constructability, and design execution. Participants develop a clearer basis for evaluating and selecting MCM products and systems for different façade applications and project requirements.
