The Directory of Roof Assemblies (DORA), a free comprehensive and user-friendly web application database for roofing systems, announces a clarifying update in its structural language. Transitioning from the term "listings" to "assemblies" within all language in the platform, this change emphasizes DORA's commitment to presenting only third-party tested and approved roofing components, further enhancing clarity and precision for its users.

Sponsored by the Single-Ply Roofing Industry (SPRI) and administered by Intertek, DORA remains dedicated to delivering the highest standard of information and resources to consultants, architects, building owners, code officials, roofing contractors, and more. By focusing on "assemblies," DORA underscores its role as a critical resource for accessing complete roofing systems tested in accordance with Chapter 15 of the International Building Code (IBC).

What Sets DORA Apart

Unlike conventional listings that merely enumerate available products, DORA assembles these elements into comprehensive, cohesive systems that meet stringent standards for wind uplift load capacity on single-ply and modified bitumen roof systems. This assembly-centric approach ensures users have access to the most reliable and relevant roofing solutions available, making it a standout resource in the commercial roofing industry.

Commitment to Quality and Assurance
