RoofNav turns 20!

February 19, 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of RoofNav, the complimentary tool from FM Approvals that provides unlimited access to FM Approved roof assemblies and products as well as relevant FM Approval Standards and FM Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets.

In 2005, RoofNav was introduced to provide users with quick access to FM Approved roofing assemblies and system details. This provided a technological alternative to traditional paper-based specification methods with a digital database that could easily adapt to evolving industry standards and technologies. Over the years, RoofNav has expanded its capabilities and grown to list more than 13,000 FM Approved roofing products and 1.1 million FM Approved roofing assemblies.

This 20th anniversary is a significant milestone for RoofNav as efficient processes and improved functionality continue to support the work being done by users spanning architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, and building owners.

One of RoofNav’s most notable features is the ability to streamline the specification process. Users can input project-specific criteria—such as assembly type, cover securement method, wind uplift rating—and instantly generate tailored roofing solutions that have been tested and certified to FM Approvals standards. This precision not only saves time but also ensures compliance with globally recognized safety and performance guidelines.

As RoofNav turns 20, FM Approvals reflects on two decades of innovation, collaboration, and excellence. Looking ahead, FM Approvals is committed to further enhancing RoofNav’s capabilities to meet the future needs of its users.
