Understanding Metal Cladding and Roofing
OVERVIEW
The Metal Cladding and Roofing CPD provides a comprehensive guide to using Metal Cladding and Roofing materials and techniques, focusing on Steel, Aluminium, Zinc, and Copper. This CPD introduces the four metals, providing detailed information and guidance on history, aesthetics, durability, sustainability, correct use in building applications, warranties, and cost. The presentation will enable designers to differentiate between the metals, establish their unique qualities, understand their advantages, and identify suitable applications for each based on their characteristics.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Understanding basic mechanical and dimensional characteristics of steel, aluminium, zinc and copper
- Identify available profiles for roofing and cladding in steel, aluminium, zinc and copper
- Identify the Industry Standards for the production of steel, aluminium, zinc and copper for roof and wall sheeting
- Identify and understand different paint and coating systems for steel, aluminium, zinc and copper for roof and wall sheeting.
- Understand approximate life expectancies for steel, aluminium, zinc and copper.
- Understand the sustainable characteristics of steel, aluminium, zinc and copper.
- Identify the approximate cost for installation of roofing/cladding in steel, aluminium, zinc and copper.
- Gain an understanding of the correct design and specification of the four metals and their suitability for projects based on their characteristics.
Formal outcomes: Design – Practice Management and Professional Conduct - PC24. Project Initiation and Conceptual Design - PC28. Detailed Design and Construction Documentation - PC39, PC 45.
