Roofing | Design Considerations | General  


General

Fundamentally, a single ply roof system must provide protection from all weather conditions likely to be experienced during its design life.  

Such protection may be required before building completion, to facilitate rapid fit-out of the interior.  In addition, the roof system must perform satisfactorily against a wide range of constraints and targets, required by legislation, by the client and by the design of the substructure and services.

With the early involvement of the membrane manufacturer, these targets and constraints should be identified with the client and designer, together with the priority of each.  This will enable effective review and modification as the design develops.  Since performance priorities are unique to each design, the following performance criteria are not ranked in order of importance.
