Low-Slope Roofs

RSS

Building codes and ratings help to define minimal levels of performance for commercial and industrial roof systems, but building owners and operators can exceed these baseline standards with higher-performing options.

The project required a solution designed to perform under Miami’s intense heat and heavy rainfall while providing the expected longevity of a full roof replacement.

SPRI announces plans to revise test standard for edge systems used with low slope roofing systems and test standard for external gutter systems.

As performance expectations rise, resilient roofing depends on system design, not individual materials.

Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) roof insulation stands as one of the most widely used insulation products for low-slope commercial roofing systems.

Designed to operate as a net-zero energy facility, the revitalized complex integrates significant enclosure improvements and comprehensive mechanical system upgrades, informed by a data-driven process that employed advanced diagnostic tools, material analysis, and energy and daylight modeling.

Jennifer Keegan (Sr. Director, Building Science) and Kristina Sigmund (Specified Solutions Advisor) from GAF | Siplast break down why coverboards have become essential in high-performance low-slope roofing systems. Get a preview of what to expect in the upcoming free webinar, “The Basics of Coverboards,” airing April 15.
