Does 90 pounds/square-feet of uplift equal 90 mph? Factory mutual rated assembly of 1-90, does it equal 90 mph? Does the building code require a warranty wind speed of 90 mph? An ongoing issue that frustrates the industry as a whole is the confusion in how a roofing assembly will meet the building code, will meet an uplift rating and be warranted based on local wind speeds. Since local wind speed is the common factor in all three, an understanding of how wind speed is used associated to each needs to be clarified. This webinar will focus on the process, from uplift to warranty.
