The Building Show 2015 - So Big for Construction Pros that Duradek is there Twice!

The Building Show, one of the largest construction industry events in North America, takes place at the Metro Toronto Convention Center this week from December 2nd to 4th.

Anybody involved in the construction industry, architectural communities or property management professions will benefit from the latest in product information, industry education and networking potential, all packed into 3 exciting days.

This event has taken form of the latest trend of mega-events where top industry trade shows combine to offer attendees the absolute most value for the time and investment to attend, no matter where in North America they might be traveling from. The Building Show is comprised of:

• Construct Canada (south building)
• PM Expo (south building)
• Home Builders & Renovators Expo (south building)
• World of Concrete Pavilion (south building)
• IIDEX Canada (north building)

Registration into any of these shows gives you admission to ALL of these shows, and Duradek is proud to have representation at two locations at this year. You can find Duradek distributor, Raildek at the Home Builders & Renovators Expo (booth #326); and the flat roof waterproofing experts of Triumph Roofing at the PM Expo (booth #1447).

For anyone who deals with decking, roofing, design or property management and wants a reliable product with professional installation techniques that always considers protection of the building envelope of primary importance, a visit to a Duradek professional can give you just the solutions you need.

Since Duradek is not a retail product and only available through trained installers, Ontario designers or builders may want to start by contacting Raildek Distribution to be referred to an authorized Duradek installation company.

Established, specialized professionals like those at Triumph Inc. know the nuances of the Duradek membrane and all of the intricate details involved in waterproofing and protecting the building envelope. If you have a commercial or multi-residential property or project in Ontario that has balconies or roof decks, be sure to make Triumph your fist stop.

A History of Excellence for Triumph Inc. - Duradek Dealer Specializing in Commercial and Multi-Residential Projects

In 1989, Triumph Inc. was founded on the principle that quality always comes first. For over 25 years, Triumph has served Southern Ontario and Alberta as the leading roofing contractor for new building construction, repair, renovation, and maintenance services.

Their mission is to provide each and every customer with quality products, and superior workmanship with the support of our highly trained crew and dedicated team. This made Duradek an ideal product offering for Triumph since Duradek has a proven, superior product, but acknowledges that no matter how good a waterproofing membrane is manufactured, it is the skills of the installers with precise waterproofing details that make the product’s performance surpass all expectations.

Triumph’s reputation is built on the notion that their clients’ needs remain at the forefront of each service offering. Put simply, they guarantee that your Triumph experience will be a seamless one…except with Duradek, where the only seams are incredibly strong, heat-welded seams that prevent water from infiltrating your building!

T'is the season of giving and Duradek wants to give you the gift of the biggest event in the world for light construction professionals - Free IBS admission!

The NAHB International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas takes place from January 20th to 22nd, 2015 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and is poised to start off year right with the best tips, tools and new product ideas for building professionals. Duradek invites you to register for free exhibit hall access and come see us at booth #S1715.

IBS has combined with 4 other great shows to create Design and Construction Week and you won't find a larger or more complete gathering of light construction and building professionals in one place.

Your complimentary admission to the IBS Exhibit Hall gives you access to the show floors of all 5 shows that make up Design and Construction Week which include:

• The International Builders Show
• The Kitchen and Bath Show
• The International Surfaces Event
• The International Window Coverings Expo
• The Las Vegas Market (home décor & furnishings)

The International Builders Show

In 2014, 95% of attendees said they discovered new products at IBS, and with over 1,300 exhibitors there is something for every building discipline. Besides great product information, IBS offers an excellent array of educational opportunities with 100+ education sessions in 10 tracks that cover the breadth of the industry.

Building industry professionals are learning that IBS is the ideal venue to learn about the latest trends, newest techniques and most forward thinking business strategies. The success of the education sessions is evident with a 40% increase in full education registrations in the last two years. Other education highlights to look forward to at IBS 2015 are the Tech Hub, Building Knowledge and Spotlight Sessions (intense, one hour sessions)and Master Sessions (fully explore a topic with smaller class sizes).

Be sure to visit the waterproofing experts of Duradek.

Of particular interest to our deck building friends, the codes and Safety education track offers "Beyond Compliance: Fall Protection Saves Lives". With an 82% increase in deaths from falls in the construction industry between 2011-2012 and recent news of a worker who suffered a fatal fall from a 3-story porch in a Boston Community last month, this particular course may be an important one for deck builders to consider.

In addition to all of the structured education opportunities, IBS also features the Centrals for a more relaxed learning environment. Part lounge, part classroom, the Centrals is a place for workshops, demonstrations and networking while grabbing a bite.

If you don't make time for the Centrals, there are plenty other fun, networking opportunities to be had. Events such as the IBS House Party, the Young Professionals After Hours Party are a couple of your options. Plus, this year's IBS Spike Concert features rock legends ZZ Top and tickets are only $35.

For all builders, general contractors, remodelers, designers and product specifiers, the IBS is an event not to miss! Register now for free exhibit hall pass and we hope to see you there.

Be sure to come by booth #S1715 to make sure your visit includes the detailed information you need of effective deck waterproofing and roof deck waterproofing solutions.

You may just find that Duradek is the product you have been looking for to provide reliable waterproof flooring for outdoor living space.

It has been an anticipated industry event since its inception in 1991, and since that time has seen many ups and downs in the industry, several technological advances and an increased breadth and scope of building products on the market. One thing has remained consistent over the years - manufacturers continue to innovate and allow residential construction professionals to work smart and efficiently.

JLC Live is another of Hanley Wood’s excellent construction brands as the Journal of Light Construction sponsors this part of the show.
