PART 3EXECUTION

3.01PREPARATION

  1. Sweep and remove all loose particles and debris from the roof deck surface. The roof deck should be sound, smooth, and free of moisture.
  2. If a vapor retarder is required, it should be applied before the installation of the EPS roof insulation.
  3. If a thermal barrier is required, local building codes must be followed regarding thermal barriers separating insulation from the building interior.
  1. INSTALLATION
  2. Lay insulation with all joints tightly butted and attach per membrane manufacturer’s specifications.
  3. Follow the membrane manufacturer’s specifications for fastening requirements for the insulation.
  4. Membrane should be installed per membrane manufacturer’s specifications.
