Waukesha, Wis.-based Metal-Era Inc. released an upgraded guide specification. The new three part CSI specification includes all of Metal-Era’s fascia and coping systems in its roof edge solutions division and all the eave and ridge vent systems for its airflow solutions division. The specification was developed in collaboration with ARCAT and is intended to help specification writers and architects as they consider the best roof termination or roof ventilation product for their project’s needs.
