Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed survey of the current state of elastomeric roofing technology, used in the construction of flat or slightly sloped roofs. Elastomeric roofing is a single-ply membrane applied to a substrate or the existing roof structure and can provide cost and performance benefits in certain roofing applications. Roofs using elastomeric roofing are often lighter in weight and more visually appealing than traditional built-up roofing while offering greater flexibility and the ability to withstand greater movement from the substrate below. The author compiles a list of elastomeric roofing membranes, available in either spray-applied liquid or preformed sheet systems, and discusses factors affecting performance, including mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, as well as the design of the roofing system itself. Guidelines are also provided to assist the user in the selection and application of elastomeric roofing for both new and remedial roofing applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of urea formaldehyde foam insulation. It was a commonly used material for retrofitting the sidewalls of residences in the mid to late 1970s. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the properties and performance of this insulation in buildings. The author draws on existing literature to discuss the various factors affecting the performance of urea formaldehyde foam insulation. These factors include durability, effect on energy conservation, effect on other building materials, fungus resistance, shrinkage, and temperature and humidity effects on foam. The book also reviews the standards that have been developed for urea formaldehyde foam insulations in North America and Europe. The author notes that these standards do not contain requirements pertaining to the long-term release of formaldehyde from these foam insulations. The book concludes by discussing the key issue involving the use of urea formaldehyde foam insulation, which is its release of formaldehyde, other gases, and particulates into the air of residences. Information concerning the release of these agents is summarized. The author emphasizes that proper installation of urea formaldehyde foam is essential to obtain the foam properties as stated in the material standards.
