Building Clinics

Experience LIVE Building Clinics on the Show Floor

The building clinics are the heart and soul of the exhibit hall. These interactive demonstrations are presented by top industry experts in a real-world jobsite setting. Live building clinics, or some call them workshops, cover a range of topics including exteriors, metal shingle installation, standing seam, flashing, window installation and much more. All of these clinics are included with an Expo Pass!

EXTERIORS

One of the biggest challenges facing roofing contractors interested in expanding their business into other exterior replacement product lines is the skilled labor shortage. To help address it, IRE is introducing this new hands-on training area to the show floor. Led by nationally recognized subject matter expert, Mike Sloggatt. Mike will detail best practices when installing different styles of weather barriers and flashing prior to the exterior cladding. Mike will also review proper flashing details when replacing windows. Eight presentations will be held throughout the three days of the show.
