BURSI—Roof Insulation and Cover Boards
Sponsored by Johns Manville | Presented by Derek Nickum
Webinar On-Demand
This course takes a look at the insulation systems available and common to the low-slope commercial roofing industry. Attendees will gain a better understanding of high-density protection boards, lower density and higher thermal performance insulation boards and lightweight insulating concrete. Additionally, time will be dedicated to review design considerations including but not limited to thermal resistance design, dew point considerations and vapor retarders, installation best practices and tapered design.
