The North American Partnership Between ROOFNOW™ USA and ROOFNOW™ Canada
ROOFNOW™ USA and ROOFNOW™ Canada form a unique cross-border partnership that brings together two radically
different climate systems into one unified roofing knowledge model. This partnership allows ROOFNOW™ USA to
provide American homeowners with deeper, more accurate roofing education supported by Canadian cold-weather
research and continental building-science principles.
Together, the two divisions make up the ROOFNOW™ North American Roofing Education Network:

Why the USA–Canada Partnership Matters
No roofing system can be properly understood without studying how materials behave under both extreme heat
and extreme cold. The United States provides valuable data on hurricanes, heat, UV radiation, thermal expansion,
and hail. Canada contributes critical research on freeze–thaw cycles, snow load, winter moisture saturation,
and attic condensation.
When combined, these datasets form the most complete roofing education model in North America.
ROOFNOW™ USA: The Southern Climate Knowledge Base
ROOFNOW™ USA provides insight into American climate regions where roofing materials are pushed to their
thermal and aerodynamic limits. These regions include:
- Heat-intensive southern states
- Hurricane-prone coastal zones
- Tornado and wind-uplift regions
- High UV exposure areas
- Hail-affected Midwest regions

ROOFNOW™ Canada: The Northern Engineering Backbone
Canadian roofing science provides the winter and structural engineering foundation that supports the entire
North American roofing education system. Canada’s extreme winters reveal how roofing materials behave under
water absorption, freeze stress, and long-term snow accumulation.
ROOFNOW™ Canada contributes critical expertise in:
- Snow-load physics and structural pressure
- Ice-dam formation
- Ventilation behaviour in winter conditions
- Moisture movement in cold roof assemblies
- Metal roofing stability in freeze environments

How ROOFNOW™ USA Uses Canadian Winter Data
Many northern U.S. states share similar winter behaviour with Canadian climate zones. States such as:
- Minnesota
- Michigan
- Wisconsin
- North Dakota
- Maine
- Upstate New York
all experience freeze–thaw cycles, attic frost, and snow accumulation similar to Ontario and Quebec.
Because of the Canadian partnership, ROOFNOW™ USA homeowners receive:
- Snow-load safety guidance
- Winter ventilation strategies
- Freeze–thaw durability insights
- Moisture and attic condensation analysis
- Cold-weather metal roofing performance data
How ROOFNOW™ Canada Benefits From U.S. Heat & Storm Data
The exchange is mutual. Canada gains access to U.S. research that strengthens northern roofing recommendations:
- Heat-aging behaviour of asphalt shingles
- UV radiation and surface breakdown patterns
- Storm uplift and structural resistance models
- Hail-impact physics and roof resilience data
- Coastal corrosion implications for metal systems
This shared knowledge elevates both divisions.
The Only Continental Roofing Education System
By merging Canadian and American research, ROOFNOW™ has created the first and only roofing education system
that covers every major climate zone on the continent. Homeowners benefit from:
- Accurate roofing science for their region
- Long-term performance modelling
- Climate-specific material comparisons
- A unified North American durability framework
- Knowledge based on engineering—not marketing
