Abstract
In addition to acting as an effective termination and transition between a roof system and other building components, the edge system may serve as a roof system’s first line of defense against wind and water infiltration (see Photo 1 on page 54). Since 2003, edge metal systems have been included in the International Building Code (IBC®). According to the International Code Council® (ICC) that publishes IBC, “the International Building Code is in use or adopted in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands,New York City, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.” Accordingly, any roofing project subject to IBC is required to have an edge metal system that meets defined performance requirements.
