Excerpt from A Performance Approach to the Development of Criteria for Low-Sloped Roof Membranes
Table 1 provides a summary listing of the major types of materials used in the fabrication of low-sloped roof systems The number of potential combinations of membrane, insulation, and deck types, as given in Table 1, is well over 400; and this figure does not include the numerous brand names that are available for each generic component. This mathematical exercise is, of course, an oversimplification. Nevertheless, it illustrates that the number of combinations of low-sloped roofs, from which a building owner.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a multifaceted exploration of the performance approach to selecting and using membranes in low-sloped roof applications. It provides a comprehensive overview of past efforts in this field and establishes a framework for developing criteria based on the required performance of membrane systems. The author emphasizes that understanding the essential attributes for satisfactory performance is crucial for effective selection. Also highlighted is the significance of watertightness in low-sloped roof systems, leading to a focus on developing criteria for this aspect. The book outlines five key functions membranes must perform, including watertightness, maintainability, health and safety, environmental impact, and appearance. It recognizes the importance of considering these functions in the criteria development process and suggests starting with seams due to their prevalence in reported membrane roofing problems. The author concludes by emphasizing the potential of performance-based criteria in minimizing defects that have historically plagued low-sloped roofing, thus highlighting the significance of this book's insights for the roofing industry.
