DVD Presents Simple Spanish Terms in Roofing
 To facilitate better communication with the increasing number of Hispanics who are installing roofs, a new educational video from GAF Materials and CARE (the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence) introduces the most common English and Spanish terms used in roofing.
Headquartered in Wayne, N.J., GAF Materials is the largest roofing and ventilation manufacturer in North America, with annual sales approaching $2 billion, and it is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.
The company’s new educational DVD, “What’s That Called? 150+ Simple Spanish Terms in Roofing,” introduces each phrase accompanied by a picture on the screen. The screen can then be paused to enable the viewer to repeat it.
Many of the roofing terms in the presentation are not found in traditional dictionaries. The vocabulary is related to such subjects as roof components, tools, materials, courtesies, safety and other important phrases.
Suitable for instruction to both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, the DVD is being offered for free through GAF Materials Corporation as a public service for roofing contractors.
GAF products include the Weather Stopper® Integrated Roofing System, Timberline® shingles and a comprehensive portfolio of low-slope roofing systems. These products are supported by an extensive national network of GAF factory-certified contractors.
GAF also supports the industry through CARE, whose mission is to help professional contractors and distributors build their businesses through sales and management education, and to provide product and installation training to contractors, distributors, architects, property owners and related industry personnel.
Since its inception, CARE has provided education to more than 50,000 professionals.
