SBS Construction Details

The drawings contained within this section are intended to represent a variety of modified bituminous roof system designs while remaining generic with regards to manufacturers’ specific application specifications. They do not represent all possible manufacturer application roof system designs. Consult manufacturers’ specifications and RGC Guarantee Standards to develop a system acceptable to both the manufacturer and RGC.

For further information about flexible membrane system designs, see Section 2.1.3 Guarantee standards for Flexible Membrane Roofing Systems, Section 5 Flexible Membrane Roofing Systems and Section 8 Construction Details.
