Roxul® Supports OIRCA/Conestoga Roofing Skills Training Centre
Roofing Insulation donated for exciting new Training Centre.
Milton, ON – September 21, 2009 – Roxul Inc. is pleased to announce its’ support of the Ontario Industrial Roofing Contractors Association (OIRCA) and Conestoga College in their combined effort to build the OIRCA/Conestoga Roofing Skills Training Centre.
Announced earlier this year the Ontario Industrial Roofing Contractors Association and Conestoga College entered into an agreement that would see a roofing skills training institute established at the College’s Construction Centre of Excellence, Waterloo Campus. The training centre will be a 12,400 square foot facility designed to deliver all aspects of roofing specific training, including apprenticeship, occupational health and safety, skills upgrading, construction management, the promotion of new technologies and more.
This facility will service the entire roofing industry in Ontario; roofing contractors, manufacturer/suppliers and the design/consulting community. The hope is that the centre which is the first of its kind here in Ontario will become a model for additional training facilities around the province in the years to come.
“The training centre has been anticipated and needed for sometime and Roxul is proud to support the centre by donating all of the roofing insulation required for the project” says Brian LeVoguer Roxul’s Vice President of Roofing & Sandwich Wall Panels. Roxul entered the Roofing Insulation market here in North America just last year leveraging proprietary technology and the 35 plus years of roofing experience that its’ parent company Rockwool International has to offer.
Roxul TopRock® and TopRock® Plus are Roxul’s premium line of stone wool roofing insulations that deliver Fire & Water Resistance, Exceptional Dimensional Stability, Long Term Thermal Performance and sound absorbing properties. Roxul also includes in its’ line of roofing products Roxul MonoBoard™ and MonoBoard™ Plus a line of insulating coverboards made from the same stone wool materials.
