Successful IFD Congress in Dublin


  • Successful IFD Congress in Dublin
  • Award of the IFD prizes for the first time
  • Interesting conferences

The International Federation for the Roof Trade, IFD hosted the 59th IFD congress and the first award of the IFD prizes in Dublin, Ireland.

Already in 2002, the Irish federation, RCCA successfully carried out the IFD-Congress and the World Championship for Young Roofers in Dublin. This year the second congress took place in Dublin, however, this time without a World Championship. Hereby, a change which was concluded some time ago, was carried through and taken place for the first time. The World Championship for Young Roofers will take place every two years (in even years).
However, a competition for the awards of the IFD in the categories pitched roof, flat roof, metal roofing and facades were carried out for the first time this year. The first competition was received with a positive resonance. The entries showed excellent workmanship of the roofers. This competition was already a highlight in Dublin and it will be developed further. In the future, it will take place and be carried out every two years (in uneven years).
