ARMA Releases Digital Edition of the Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual - Design and Application Methods

This new format will allow roofing contractors to access the publication on their mobile devices.

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) has released a digital version of the Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual – Design and Application Methods. This new format enables roofing professionals to access the publication directly on their mobile devices.

The manual will continue to serve as an essential guide to the proper design and application of residential asphalt roofing systems. By converting the popular resource into a digital download, ARMA aims to offer tools that further support contractors on-site, allowing easier access to reliable reference material.

“ARMA is thrilled to provide our tried-and-true industry ‘go-to’ Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual to professionals out in the field,” stated Reed Hitchcock, ARMA executive vice president. “While we will continue to offer a hard copy of the manual that contractors can mark up on the job, the digital manual makes it simple to reference key information regarding residential asphalt roofs anytime, anywhere — from the seat of your truck to the peak of the roof.”

The digital edition provides readers with the same comprehensive information and key topics found in the printed version but with the benefit of online accessibility through embedded links and bookmarks. The ARMA Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual – Design and Application Methods includes industry-leading content on proper ventilation, moisture control, shingle application and more. 

The Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual – Design and Application Methods – Digital 2022 Edition is available for $30.00 per download on ARMA’s website. Upon purchase, users will receive an email confirmation containing a link to download the full digital-format edition to their iOS or Android devices.
