The Manual of Low-Slope Roof Systems Fourth Edition (Product Unavailable for Purchase)
THE PREMIER GUIDE TO COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL ROOFS For decades, this manual has been the most widely
respected guide to designing and specifying low-slope roof systems. It
remains unique -- the only working handbook that treats all topics in
roof design, from fundamentals to roof systems and materials options.
This
fourth edition covers major advances in design and materials, as well
as changes in building codes. It gets you up to speed on roof system
performance, emerging materials, drainage, wind uplift, vapor control,
fire resistance, thermal insulation, reroofing, and much more. You'll
even find field-tested solutions for such problems as lap-seam failures,
membrane shrinkage, and fastener backout. Covering all major types of
flat, multi-ply, low-slope roofing systems for commercial and industrial
facilities, this definitive text also updates you on new procedures in
inspection and maintenance.
