Abstract: One of the most important decisions regarding building construction is the type of roofing system to be installed. This includes the type of deck, vapour barrier, insulation, membrane and roof finish. This paper discusses the factors to be considered in making this decision. These are: code requirements. -- design considerations. -- construction considerations. -- maintenance considerations. -- cost considerations. -- other considerations., Building Science Insight 1989: Roofs that Work: 1989-10, Canada

Abstract: On étudie d'abord différents genres de toits. Il importe de noter que la fiabilité d'un toit à membrane protégée est liée à une seule membrane qui empêche le passage de la vapeur d' eau aussi bien que de l'eau. Cette membrane doit être continue et imperméable à l'eau dès la mise en place et tout au cours de sa durée de service. Elle se trouve dans un milieu favorable quant à la température et au climat et dure ordinairement plus longtemps que l'isolant, qui peut se détériorer considérablement avant que la membrane soit atteinte. On peut prolonger la durée de l'isolant par des mesures de drainage et d'évaporation de l'humidité quelle qu' en soit la source.

Abstract: Different roofing systems discussed in the opening paragraphs. It must be realized that the performance of a protected membrane system is related to a single membrane that serves as both air vapour barrier and water barrier. It must be continuous and waterproof from installation throughout its service life. It is in a favourable environment in relation to temperature and weather and will usually outlast the insulation, which can largely deteriorate before the membrane will be affected. The life of insulation can be extended by designs that allow for drainage and evaporation of moisture from all sources.
