Moon Township, Pa.-based CENTRIA’s new public Website has improved functionality and capabilities intended to better serve visitors, particularly architects, owners and contractors. The site also features a private portal designed for CENTRIA dealers, partners and employees, as well as architects, who need to tap into the metal wall and roof system knowledge available from CENTRIA. One of the primary improvements to the CENTRIA Web site is the reorganization of resources so it is now easier for users to find product information, including data sheets, specifications, illustrations and completed projects.
