Modified bitumen 2-ply field membrane and 2-ply flashings, with fiberglass and/or polyester reinforcements. Field
membrane and flashings are to be applied with cold process adhesives with all side and end laps in all plies hot air welded
and rolled. Bottom ply shall be sanded and smooth surfaced. Top ply shall be sanded on backside and granule surfaced
on top side, with granule color as selected by Owner. Surfacing must be carefully selected if a LEED point for roof

Kynar500/Hylar 5000 prefinished steel shall be used for exposed roof-related sheet metal, whenever possible. Owner
shall have the option of selecting from standard color finishes. If soldering is required, such as for scupper inserts or
scupper flanges, 24 gauge minimum, G90 galvanized steel or stainless steel shall be used, depending on the roof's design
life and presence of corrosive substances on the roof.
PVC-coated, 24 gauge, G90 galvanized steel to be used for edge metal, scuppers inserts, vertical flashing terminations,
and other miscellaneous applications in conjunction with PVC or KEE roof systems. Owner shall have option of
selecting from standard membrane-clad metal colors. If a PVC or KEE roof system is specified, and roof edge aesthetics
are critical, a membrane manufacturer-supplied prefabricated fascia system with Kynar prefinished cover plate and
extruded aluminum anchor bar shall be used.
All fasteners shall be FM Global approved, stainless steel with EPDM washers. Nailing of metal flanges shall be hot dip
galvanized or stainless steel, ring shank nails.
