"To provide high-quality design service to clients, someone in the architect's office should possess a general knowledge of all low-slope roof system options and roof design criteria."
—from the monograph
To select the most appropriate roof system for a project, an architect should have at least a general understanding of available membrane options. And Low-Slope Roofing II, the companion monograph to Low-Slope Roofing I, was written precisely with this objective in mind.
Low-Slope Roofing II received the Construction Specifications Institute's Publications Commendation, Special Publication in April 2003.
