Check Out This Free Mobile Field Guide for Slate Roofing

 By National Slate Association (NSA). 

The National Slate Association offers an informative slate roof mobile field guide to help roofers with every step of installation. 

The National Slate Association (NSA) has developed and launched a new Mobile Field Guide based on the award-winning publication Slate Roofs: Design & Installation Manual. The Mobile Field Guide is a quick-­reference version of the manual, focusing on some of the critical detailing needed to successfully install, repair and replace natural slate roofs. The guide was developed to assist contractors, design professionals and building owners anywhere from the design phase of the roof to the actual rooftop application. It is available free of charge via an internet browser on your smart‐phone or tablet when an internet connection is available. 

To access the Mobile Field Guide, visit mobile.slateassociation.org. Once on the NSA Mobile homepage, select “Roof Installation Methods” and you are now officially using the mobile field guide. Inside the guide is a whole menu of topics to browse through, from slate roof basics to eave edge details to hip and ridge applications. Each topic contains a subset of roofing applications to choose from, where you can select the corresponding detail for your roof application.  

Every detail includes easy­‐to‐read drawings that can be dissected and put back together again by simply sliding a finger along the slide bar at the bottom of the page. In this way, the user can construct each detail step‐by-­step. A brief set of explanatory notes and a cross reference back to the manual are provided for each detail. 

For ease of navigation, there are two buttons at the bottom of every page. The back button will take you back to the last page visited and the home button will take you back to the very first page of the Guide. We will be adding new topics and details to the Mobile Field Guide periodically for extra guidance. These new features will automatically refresh in your browser, thus, no updating required.
