Images used in a Construction Detail are representative and not prescriptive. Nor are they necessarily drawn to scale. Rather, they are provided to visually convey the requirements of the Standard they represent. Unless otherwise required by the Standard, dimensions, the selection of materials and their application remains the responsibility of the Design Authority.

1 WORK INCLUDED

(1) Base Membrane (field)
See Tables 9.1 and 9.2 for acceptable membrane types and application methods.
(2) Base Membrane (flashing)
Carried vertically up a wall or parapet (membrane flashing must extend up the vertical plane, and above the Finished Roof/Waterproofing Surface, at least 200 mm (8”), and must extend onto the roof field at least 100 mm (4”) (greater if required by the membrane manufacturer).
(3) Cap Membrane (field)
May be an ungranulated base membrane when protected from UV light. See Tables 9.1 and 9.2 for acceptable ‘film’ cap membrane types.
(4) Cap Membrane (flashing)
Extended vertically past the termination of the base membrane flashing, to provide a positive seal at the top edge. Membrane flashing must be protected from UV light exposure; use a granulated surface membrane (as illustrated) or cover with metal flashing. Terminate membrane following the requirements in 10.1.2.2 (16). For perimeters that require hot works-specific applications, see 10.3.3 Alternate Membrane Flashing Approaches.
(5) Drainage Layer
Required below XPS insulation in a PMRA (an additional drainage layer is sometimes required above the insulation. See 14.1.2.1 (5)(4). In all other cases, a second drainage layer above the insulation is discretionary). Turn the drainage layer up at the perimeter to convey water to the drains.
(6) Insulation
XPS insulation, ideally installed in multiple layers that are offset and staggered as illustrated (for both system stability and thermal effectiveness).
(7) Filter Fabric
Installed above XPS insulation, and tucked behind the base metal flashing, to contain insulation and prevent ‘stacking’ (see 12.1.1 (1)(3)(1)), and to prevent fine material from settling down to the membrane (12.1.1 (1)(3)(2)).
(8) Ballast
Considered part of the roof system (ballast functions as securement against both flotation and wind uplift), ballast must be installed by the Contractor (see Section 12.1). This requirement is waived when a Vegetated Roof System (VRS) that is installed by others serves as ballast (see 12.1.3.1 (1)); in such situations, the VRS must be installed immediately after the Contractor’s work and coordinated with the Contractor to ensure the roof system remains unaffected by wind or flotation and is not damaged by others. See also 1.6 RoofStar Guarantee: Coverage and Limitations concerning integrity scans when overburden is installed by someone other than the Contractor (1.6 (6)).
(9) Metal Base Flashing
Fabricated and secured according to the requirements in Part 13 METAL FLASHINGS.

2 RELATED WORK BY OTHERS

(A) Acceptable Deck
(B) Suitable Wall Sheathing
If and as required.
(C) Sloped Parapet Top
Sloped to roof where parapet is over 100 mm (4") in width.
(D) Wall or Parapet Structure

NOTE: See the Standard for additional requirements.
