</li></ol>
</li></ol>

====Use Over Mineral Fibre Insulation====
<ol>
<li>{{hilite | An insulation overlay is not required when torch-applied membranes are installed directly on mineral fibre insulation treated with a thermofusible bitumen top surface (This exception is subject to the requirements for mineral wool insulation published in '''Part 7 INSULATION''') || 2022-October-22 }}.
<li>{{hilite | When an overlay board is required over mineral wool insulation, the overlay board must be a moisture resistant fibreglass-faced silicon treated gypsum core board measuring at least 12.7 mm (1/2") thick (See also '''7.2 Materials''' concerning mineral wool insulation) || 2022-October-22 }}.

===Material Properties===
====Insulation Overlay Dimensions====
<ol>
<li>Regardless of the type of insulation overlay, the overall thickness of insulation overlay boards shall not exceed 50 mm (2”) (See minimum allowable thicknesses are shown in '''Table 8.1''').
<li>{{hilite | Asphalt-coated|| 2021-June-30 }} fibreboard roof insulation adhered with hot asphalt or an asphalt-based adhesive must be asphalt-coated on the top and bottom surface (Minimum coated two-sides).
<li>Fire guard tape must be 150 mm (6”) wide
<ol>
<li>self-adhering modified bituminous tape acceptable to the membrane manufacturer, or
<li>Type IV fibreglass felt or No. 15 organic felt, applied with hot bitumen or cold adhesive.

<li>All ''projects'' intended to qualify for a '''''RoofStar 5-year''''' or '''''RoofStar 10-year Guarantee''''' shall comply with the requirements in this Part.
</li></ol>

====RoofStar 15-Year Guarantees====
<ol>
<li>All ''projects'' intended to qualify for a '''''RoofStar 15-year Guarantee''''' shall comply with the requirements in this Standard for a '''''RoofStar 5-year''''' or '''''RoofStar 10-year Guarantee''''', together with the following:
<ol>
<li>An insulation overlay must be installed in all insulated ''systems'', regardless of the insulation type.
<li>Insulation overlays must
<ol>
<li>be at least 6.4 mm (1/4”) thick, and
<li>possess a compressive strength of at least 690 kPa (100 psi).

===All Systems===
====Alignment of Overlays====
<ol>
<li>See the Design requirements in Section 1 of this Part.
<li>{{hilite | Insulation overlays || 2021-June-30 }}
<ol>
<li>{{hilite | should be square and should make firm, full contact with adjacent panels unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer|| 2021-June-30 }}, and
<li>{{hilite | must be offset at least 300 mm (12") from the joints of the insulation layer; a minus offset tolerance of 50 mm (2") maximum is permissible|| 2021-June-30 }}.
</ol></li>
<li>When multiple layers of an {{hilite | insulation|| 2021-June-30 }} overlay are specified, the joints between boards must be offset/staggered at least 300 mm (12") from adjacent layers and rows (See '''Figure 8.1'''. See also '''Part 7 INSULATION'''.
