Construction of satisfactory built-up roofing is only possible if high standards are maintained in all phases of design and construction. Design requires a thorough consideration of the physical environment, the relationship of the roofing system to the structure, the component materials and their inter-relationship, as well as proper consideration of all design details. Construction requires a complete understanding of and strict adherence to proper techniques that include protected storage of materials, construction on dry roof decks during dry weather, correct bitumen application temperatures, solid mopping and thorough adherence of felts. Inadequate consideration of any of the above factors may negate perfection in the others since all contribute to the performance of the roofing system. (Author)
