Abstract
The primary concern during the design and installation of a roof system is keeping water out of the building. Other common concerns (in no order of importance) include the fire resistance, wind resistance, impact resistance, and R-value of the installed system. The use of specific materials and system components raises additional concerns. For example, when installing a roof system over a steel roof deck, flute-span capability is added to the list of concerns.
