MCRMA HOME Welcome to the Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers Association web site! A NEW MEMBER FOR MCRMA! MCRMA extends a warm welcome to Blueprint who offer a comprehensive in-house design and detailing service covering all aspects of the development and engineering of the building envelope.GD40 EXPLAINED IN ONLINE WEBINAR This webinar from A. Proctor Group introduces and discusses the content of MCRMA Guidance Document GD40 – Understanding membranes in ventilated rainscreen facades. ADVICE NOTE BRINGS CLARITY TO AD-L2 MCRMA has published an Advice Note AN 09 The Building (Amendment) Regulations Guidance 2021. This advice note addresses ambiguities in the new Approved Document AD-L Volume 2 Buildings other than dwellings which MCRMA has identified in comparison with previous versions of the Approved Documents.CPD MODULES ON SUSTAINABILITY Four CPD modules have been added to the MCRMA online CPD programme. All are based on the recent guidance document ‘Sustainability and durability of metal roofing and cladding systems’ and cover a range of topics including sustainability, recyclability, life cycle costings and durability.DID YOU KNOW? All MCRMA publications are free to download without any restrictions! MCRMA believes that it is essential for technical information to be made as widely available as possible – visit the publications page.NEW! THE AUTUMN EDITION OF METAL MATTERS – OUT NOW This issue features an article on cavity barriers and fire stopping in which we examine how effective fire stopping and cavity barriers are essential elements of fire protection to restrict the spread of smoke or flames, and to maintain compartmentation . This issue of Metal Matters also features case studies from A.Proctor Group, Architectural Profiles, BTS Facades & Fabrications, Euroclad Group and Rockwool, Contact the MCRMA Follow us on Find us on The MCRMA was formed in 1990 to support the systems manufacturers in the emerging metal cladding and roofing industry. Since then MCRMA has evolved to encompass the needs of component manufacturer suppliers, stockholders, systems installers, independent roofing and cladding inspectors plus industry support services providers, all providing independent building envelope solutions for metal-based roofing and cladding systems, products and services. MCRMA publishes a wide range of guidance documents and articles which reflect the latest developments in the specification and manufacture of metal building envelope systems and their components. All MCRMA publications are free to download. A new MCRMA guidance document GD39 Sustainability and durability of metal roofing and cladding systems focuses on sustainability from a ‘fabric first’ approach where the metal building envelope provides a long-lasting solution which can be future proofed for potential changes of use of the building. As there is a natural split between sustainability and durability topics the MCRMA guidance document is published as a suite of eight standalone sections each of which covers specific but interrelated subjects, including sustainability background, zero avoidable waste, environmental assessment methods, durability, life cycle/whole life costing, products and components. The document can be downloaded from the sustainability page. MCRMA has published a new Advice Note AN 09 The Building (Amendment) Regulations 2021 Guidance. This advice note addresses ambiguities in the new Approved Document AD-L Volume 2 Buildings other than dwellings which MCRMA has identified in comparison with previous versions of the Approved Documents. Advice Note AN 06 Safe working practices on roofs: the distinction between ‘walkable’ and ‘non-fragility’ has been produced to remind all those involved in roof work construction that they have a responsibility to be aware of the most up to date advice on safe working practices and also to be compliant with the legal requirements. Guidance document GD 32 Self drilling fastener installation tools explains that screw guns are an installer essential when working in roofing and cladding construction, as they ensure that the optimum mechanical performance of a self-drilling fastener is obtained, guaranteeing the integrity of the building envelope. Impact drivers should not be used! Their repetitive impact action can lead to drilling failures, reduce the fastener pull-out performance, and damage the coating or strip the moulding on the fastener head.
