New Metal Roofing Group

The Metal Roofing Alliance, a coalition of manufacturers and related companies, has been formed to promote residential metal roofing and accelerate growth in North America.

The MRA will focus on educating both consumers and contractors on the benefits of metal roofing for residential applications. "We see a tremendous opportunity for growth in residential metal roofing, particularly in the reroof segment, which comprises 75Vo of the roofing market," said executive director Tom Black. "Long a staple in the commercial roofing market, metal roofing's biggest obstacle to date has been the limited awareness of residential products among both homeowners and installers."

Planned are national tv ads, a tollfree answer line for homeowners to request a video, and a dealer kit to assist in marketing and installation.

Based in Belfair, Wa., MRA's 33 members include roofing manufacturers such as Southeastern Metals and McElroy Metals, paint suppliers and coaters such as PPG Industries. and associations including the American Iron & Steel Institute.
