Roofing 101: The Alphabet Soup of Roofing Types

This roofing session will be an overview of multi-ply and single-ply roofing systems that are being specified and installed locally in the Portland metro market. This 1 hour session will be a great opportunity to decipher the low-slope roofing “Alphabet Soup” of SBS, APP, TPO, EPDM, and PVC. We will discuss the strengths and limitations of each type of roofing and how they can be used to their full potential in your building.  We also learn about some of the basic roof components used in our local market such as insulation, fasteners, adhesives, and typical non-standard roofing assemblies. Bring your low-slope roofing questions and leave with a full stomach and plenty of answers.

Who Should Attend 
 Architectural Interns, MEP Engineers, Contractors, and anyone who would like a better understanding of what the basic roof types are and how they should be used. AIA CEU's Available!
