To install a sophisticated roofing system on multiple deck types, while adhering to strict energy and environmental guidelines.
Concrete Deck: install ¼” per foot tapered insulation system (consisting of 120,000 square feet of tapered panels and system fill) with a 5/8” Densdeck coverboard set in a two-part, low-rise foam adhesive. Install a 60-mil Firestone white Ultra-ply TPO fully adhered roof system including all flashing. Metal Deck: mechanically fasten a 5/8” Densdeck with 2 layers of 2.5” ISO(R-30) insulation and a 5/8” Densdeck coverboard.
