Course summary:

The provisions in this course for roof construction and covering are intended to provide a weather-protective barrier at the roof and in most circumstances to prevent flaming combustible materials, such as flying brands from nearby fires from penetrating the roof construction. This course is essentially prescriptive in nature for some roofing materials, although the wind and fire provisions typically apply to the entire roof assembly. These rules are very important for satisfactory performance of the roof covering and are based on decades of experience, both successes and failures, with various roofing systems.
