4 Insulation Overlay Boards
- Composite Insulation Overlays
5 Eave and Detail Protection
Eave protection membranes are designed to prevent the water from reaching the deck and leaking into the structure. These materials are self-adhering and manufactured with a rubberized asphaltic compound, or with butyl. Properly formulated and installed, these sheets have the potential to perform a long time. Slope and climate conditions are considerations for selection; refer to the Standard for further information and guidance.
Underlayment is used in the field areas of the roof (where eave protection is not required) to provide a secondary protection beneath the roof covering, during weather events that might force water underneath.
Notice to Reader
* Eave and Valley Protection - Some of the materials listed in the columns for eave or valley protection must be installed in multiple layers because, by themselves, they are too thin to satisfy the material requirements published in the Standard for Architectural Sheet Metal (ASM) Roof Systems. Consult the product manufacturer for appropriate application requirements, and the Standard for multiple layering requirements. If multi-layering is not permitted by the manufacturer, select a product with suitable thickness that may be applied in a single layer.
† Underlayment - While some materials listed as underlayments are nail-applied, their acceptability is dependent on roof slope. Refer to Part 8 in the Standard for Architectural Sheet Metal (ASM) Roof Systems before specifying or installing nail-applied materials; nail-applied underlayments are not permitted on slopes less than 1:3 (4" in 12").
