Dear Editors: I would like to add an external link to this page under the "Further Reading" section that I think would be of interest to anyone involved with metal roofing.

We have a Metal Roof Color Simulator on our website that shows users what a particular color would look like on the home pictured. There is a wide selection of colors in varying shades.

The URL is:

http://www.advancedmetalroofing.com/metal-roof-colors.asp

and the link could be called: "Metal Roofing Colors"

Since I help maintain this site, I thought it would be a conflict of interest to add it myself but I hope you concur as to the usefulness and relevancy of the external web page.NCcoast (talk) 19:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I edited the page to correct about 6 spelling errors. I also removed some statements that were simply hype and untrue. This page still needs some work.


Needs total overhaul

The article as it is now is nothing but a piece of marketing for Metal roofing companies. And it only deals with the US. This really needs to be completely rewritten to make it neutral and worthy of actually being an encyclopaedia article. --Hibernian (talk) 00:33, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; while sadly my docket is backlogged at the moment, I really like the topic. Will try to get to it when I can! Morgan Riley (talk) 03:08, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Abbreviations

I have just filled the copy edit request for this entry, but would like to suggest that someone please elucidate two obscure abbreviations in the following sentence in the section on coatings: "The most popular oils are lemon oil, U.S.P., lemongrass oil, Native E.I., paraffin oils, linseed oil, and castor oil."

Help please: what is U.S.P.? What is Native E.I.? A Google search failed to produce any convincing explanation appropriate to this context.

Thanks in advance for any assistance here. --Remotelysensed (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is the answer: U.S.P. is United States Patent; lemongrass oil Native E.I. is lemongrass Native Essential India. You may see lemongrass oil.--Dafne07 (talk) 17:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
