Roofs in Cold Regions: Marson's Store, Claremont, New Hampshire.

Abstract

A reinforced, single-ply PVC membrane was examined five years after being applied over a leaky, built-up, bituminous membrane. The bare PVC membrane was dirty, poorly drained and littered with broken glass, nails and such, yet no flaws were evident or leaks reported. Even at 0 F the PVC was quite flexible. Diagonal wrinkles at a parapet wall were attributed to workmanship; other observations suggested that membrane shrinkage had not occurred. The membrane has functioned well for five years and appears to be in good condition. (Author)
