The Traditional Roofing Network ... Historic Preservation in Action
The Traditional Roofing Network, a new organization that brings contractors, material suppliers, consultants, and preservationists together, launched its new website, TraditionalRoofing.net, this past weekend. The cardinal tenet of the association is a belief that the use of traditional materials is at the core of sustainable design in historic preservation.
From slate roofing to thatch, to cedar and cyprus wood shingles, to clay tile and copper sheet metal, the preservation trades are well represented by material suppliers and craftsmen listings. With new members joining daily, the site will continue to grow into an invaluable directory for finding services and vendors.
An integral part of the new site are the educational resources offered. Ask the Experts is a free forum where specialists in the field can provide no nonsense answers to difficult questions about traditional roofing and appropriate preservation practices. There are also videos, links to associated organizations, info on historic tax credits, and technical preservation briefs to provide further guidance and direction.
