ROOF TERRACES.
Abstract
The design of a successful roof terrace depends upon the designer's ability to select the most compatible compromises. There are many acceptable materials and many ways of combining them; all have their particular advantages, but allowances for their disadvantages must be made. Surfacing materials, when properly installed, can reduce the range of temperature variation in the waterproof membrane and protect it from solar radiation, physical damage, fire and wind. The longest service life of the surfacing materials will be achieved when their thermal movements have been allowed for and they are kept as dry as possible. (Author)
