Abstract
No need to stress the importance of a quality roofing installation. What superintendent has not experienced those angry telephone calls from a building owner complaining about persistant roof leaks. An entire building could have been completed to perfection, but that annoying roof leak will remain in the owner’s mind above all else. Roof assemblies consist of substrate, the framing or surface under the roof, the insulation installed over this substrate and the roofing membrane material, and each component plays an important role in the overall integrity of the roofing system.
