Leading manufacturer Glidevale Protect has become a member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), demonstrating its ongoing commitment to roofing product quality and innovation.
Glidevale Protect, a subsidiary of building ventilation and specialist construction products manufacturer, Building Product Design Ltd, operates from two UK based manufacturing sites.
Its specialist construction and roofing divisions offer a complete solution of building products suitable for the whole building envelope, ranging from pitched roofing underlays, including membranes for use with in-roof PV solar panels, to a complete range of roofing ventilation products and accessories.
As the UK’s largest and most influential roofing trade association, NFRC represents and supports roofing contractors, manufacturers and service providers with the aim to promote quality contractors and products from manufacturers, ensuring that its members are at the forefront of all roofing developments.
NFRC takes prides in itself as a leading voice within the roofing industry, offering technical guidance and representing member interests to the wider construction industry and government. Glidevale Protect, like all NFRC members, must meet the highest industry standards set out in the trade association’s strict code of practice and vetting procedure.
John Mellor, head of marketing at Building Product Design, comments: “NFRC’s aim to be one of the key voices within the roofing industry and drive innovation in the sector aligns closely with Glidevale Protect’s own aims as a roofing product manufacturer offering industry led technical guidance and thought leadership, so we’re proud to join forces with the association.
“We’re passionate about developing our product range to provide effective solutions for ventilation and condensation control, using our hidden protectors in order to help build healthy homes, whilst providing the industry with clear and transparent technical product data.”
As well as offering careers support and help towards roofing accreditation, NFRC also hosts the UK Roofing Awards each year to shine a light on outstanding standards of quality workmanship and safety in roofing. This year, Glidevale Protect will be sponsoring the Heritage Roofing category at the UK Roofing Awards 2024, with winners set to be announced on Friday 10th May.
Glidevale Protect is also proud to sponsor the Young Achiever of the Year Award at this year’s Pitched Roofing Awards, with the winner announced in November 2024.
