5 Great Smartphone Apps for Roofing
When it comes to roofing, certain tasks associated can be a little daunting and confusing, but it needn’t be. Many of us carry a tool that can make these projects much easier, a smartphone. Here are 5 smartphone apps that can help you with your next project.
Roofing by Marley Eternit Ltd
This application serves as a ‘Wikipedia’ for Marley products, one of the most widely known and used roofing brands in the market.
It offers instant advice, illustration, and step-by-step fixing procedures directly to your tablet or phone, making various elements of your project easier without having to scour the internet for the information you need.
When you also consider that the brand carries over 100 years of roofing expertise, you can rest assured that the knowledge you receive from the application is solid.
iRoofing by iRoofing LLC
Whilst the Marley application benefits both homeowner and contractor, iRoofing has been primarily designed with the contractor in mind.
This application offers the ability to perform unlimited DIY roof measurements from a variety of images such as satellite, drone, aerial and even blueprints, ensuring that the contractor can begin preparing their project even before inspecting the property.
What’s more is that this app is the only roofing software solution that has digital catalogues integrated, so if a customer requests a specific type of product, you can identify the leading brands of said product in a few easy clicks, allowing you to get started much quicker.
Luxmeter by Velux
Not exactly a priority application but one that could be useful to homeowners who are thinking about implementing roof windows.
If you are a homeowner who has a strong preference for natural daylight and you are considering implementing roof windows, you can use the Luxmeter application to determine the intensity of light in that room, easily and quickly. It will immediately show you whether the luminosity level in that given space meets recommended values or not. This will give you a much clearer idea as to whether you require a roof window to illuminate the room.
Construction Calc by Lightray Studio
Construction Calc is often considered one of the most user-friendly applications whilst offering accurate results.
It covers a wide range of projects from a variety of different elements in the construction industry so if you specialise in various aspects of construction, then this application is perfect. However, if you are a roofer the app can be used to quickly estimate materials and save you time by calculating angles, measurements, and quantities.
Velux Roof Pitch by Velux
To put it simply, sometimes less is more. This application has been designed for one purpose and one purpose only; to determine the pitch of your roof and ultimately identify which Velux roof window is best suited for it.
Whilst Velux have designed it primarily for the purpose of knowing which roof window is most suited to your roof, knowing your roof pitch is very useful information and can be applied to a wide range of other similar projects.
It is also a question you will normally be asked when speaking to AC Supplies about a potential roof window, so having this information to hand will certainly help.
AC Supplies carry extensive knowledge of the roof window market, with over 35 years of experience and supply a wide range of roof windows from brands such as VELUX & RoofLITE+, Korniche roof lanterns and additional products such as roof tiles from both Britmet and Metrotile, breather membranes, dry verge products and much more.
