More From This Issue

  • Rooftop photosynthesis

    Building owners who desire the addition of sustainable attributes for their buildings often select vegetative roof systems. The most recent edition of <i>The NRCA Vegetative Roof Systems Manual&#151;Third Edition</i> contains important updates for roofing professionals who install vegetative roof systems, including revised waterproofing membrane recommendations, expansion of structural roof deck information, and updated standards and codes references.

  • Somewhere in middle America

    The new Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha aims to transform the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. Tasked with installing types of six roof systems on 14 roof areas atop the center, Scott Enterprises Inc., Omaha, overcame inclement weather and challenging material staging conditions to help complete the revolutionary cancer treatment facility.

  • Chemical considerations

    The environment in which a roof system will be exposed is an important consideration in roof system design. Built-up roofing, or a polymer-modified bitumen or single-ply roof membrane can prematurely age when there is not chemical compatibility with its surroundings. Rooftop exhaust, prior roof systems and the rooftop activities of other trades all can affect whether a roof system functions properly.
