DEFINITIONS
1Built-Up-Roof (BUR): Traditional hot asphalt or coal tar built-up roofing membrane assembly consists of alternating layers of felts, fabrics, or mats saturated with bitumen during manufacture, assembled in place, and adhered with applied layers of hot bitumen. Surfacing for the hot BUR can be aggregate embedded in hot asphalt; mineral-surface cap sheets; modified bitumen cap sheets; or smooth-surface applications or coatings.
2Roof Coating: A material typically applied in the liquid state to the roof surface at the time of construction or at a later time as a retrofit measure. Roof coatings may be bituminous, polymeric, or polymer modified. Bituminous roof coatings are formulated using bitumen. Polymeric roof coatings are formulated using a variety of synthetic resins such as acrylic, neoprene, styrene butadiene, urethane, polyvinyl acetate, and others. Polymer modified roof coatings are manufactured by combining a portion of the polymeric technology with bitumen technology.
3Metal: Metal roofing systems are divided into two categories, architectural and structural. Architectural metal roofs usually require a slope of at least 3:12. Structural metal roofs can be used on roofs with slopes as low as 1/4:12. Steel and aluminum sheets are commonly used to fabricate metal roof panels. Steel requires a corrosion resistant metal coating such as zinc, aluminum, alloys of zinc-aluminum, or tin. Metallic coated steel includes galvanized steel, aluminized steel, zinc-aluminum-coated steel and terne-coated steel. Metallic coated steels and Aluminum are also painted to provide additional corrosion protection, as well as color.
4Modified Bitumen: Roll roofing products consisting of asphalt, reinforcing layers, and in some cases, surfacing. During manufacture, a polymer (APP, or atactic polypropylene, and SBS, or styrene butadiene styrene, are the most common) is added to the bitumen while heating, which "modifies," or changes, its properties.
5Single-Ply Membrane: Flexible manufactured sheet of compounded synthetic materials. Single-ply membranes include EPDM (ethylene, propylene, diene monomer), Neoprene (chloroprene rubber), PVC (polyvinyl chloride polymers), CSPE (chlorosulfonated polyethylene, also known as Hypalon), CPE (chlorinated polyethylene), PIB (polyisobutylene), NBP (nitrite alloy membranes compounded from butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), and others.
6Composite Shingle: Composed of a base material, either organic felt or glass fiber mat; asphalt; and surfacing material, generally in the form of mineral granules.
7Spray Polyurethane Foam Roof System: A fully adhered system that consists of a rigid closed-cell sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam insulation and a protective roof coating. Typical coatings include acrylic, silicon, or urethane elastomers.
8Roof Tile: May be composed of clay, concrete, fiber-cement, or synthetic materials. A variety of tile profiles, styles, finishes, and colors are available.
