Technical Training and Professional Development
Vertix Systems provides technical training and professional development for architects, designers, specifiers, contractors, builders and other construction professionals working with high-performance roof and wall systems.
Our training combines technical knowledge with practical experience and covers important aspects of modern building design, including moisture management, low U-value roof build-ups, designing with Integrated Solar PV and metal standing seam roofing.
We currently provide two types of training courses. In addition to our RIBA Approved CPD seminars, we offer a practical 1-day EasySeam System Installation training course to help develop the knowledge and skills required to achieve high-quality installations.
RIBA Approved CPD Seminars
Vertix Systems is a member of the RIBA CPD Providers Network, providing CPD seminars designed to give architects and construction professionals practical, relevant knowledge that can be applied to real-world projects.
Our RIBA Approved CPDs have been through a rigorous review process and focus on areas where careful design and specification can have a significant impact on building performance, durability, energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Using Roof Build-ups to Manage Moisture in Low U-Value Buildings
As buildings become increasingly energy efficient, achieving low U-values often means more complex and highly insulated construction build-ups. Effective moisture management is therefore an increasingly important design consideration.
This RIBA Approved CPD explores the causes and risks of moisture within building fabric and considers how roof build-ups can be designed to manage condensation and moisture effectively.
Designing with Integrated Solar PV on a Standing Seam Roof
Available from October 2026
As we move towards low-carbon construction and tighter energy performance requirements, Solar PV is no longer an optional technology. It’s rapidly becoming an integral part of any residential design.
This RIBA Approved CPD examines the key considerations when designing with Integrated Solar PV on a metal Standing Seam Roof, balancing technical performance, regulatory compliance, architectural quality and long-term building performance.
EasySeam® System Installation Training
At Vertix Systems, we believe that quality systems deserve quality installation.
Our EasySeam System Installation Training is a hands-on, one-day course at our manufacturing site in Newport. It’s aimed at people who are using Vertix EasySeam Metal Standing Seam Roof or EasySeam Wall Cladding Systems, which includes self-builders, roofing and facade contractors, and general builders.
The course costs £150 per person at the time of booking, which is refundable if you order an EasySeam System from us within 12 months of your training day.
Technical Support from Vertix Systems
Training is just one part of the technical support available from Vertix Systems. Our experienced team can provide guidance through the design, specification and installation process, including material selection, detailing, insulation build-ups, U-value requirements, condensation risk, Solar PV integration and installation advice.
We also have a range of technical guides, design details, technical data sheets and other useful resources available in the Downloads area.
Whether you’re an architect developing a roof or wall specification, a contractor preparing for installation or a self-builder looking to understand the EasySeam System, our aim is to provide practical technical support that helps projects progress with confidence.
