Each month RCi editorial covers metal cladding, flat roofing, slates and tiles, roof safety and access plus specified special features, for example liquid roofing, sarkings and underlays or rainwater systems. In addition, it publishes the RCi Directory each year another industry first which keeps the magazine ahead of its competition.
