The book starts by setting out the duties of a building pathologist in the context of the modern roofing industry, defining failure and explaining its underlying causes. The main chapters then deal with the main specific types of failure: fire, shrinkage and roofing systems displacement, calendar shrinkage, foam insulation shrinkage and 'stretched' membranes, plasticizer migration, bitumen incompatibility, built-up roofing felt porosity, blistering, thermal insulation instability, foam insulation problems, torch applications, polymer dispersion, asphalt-glass fibre shingle splitting, lack of appropriate venting, problems with cool roofing and problems with organic fibre-portland cement shingles. The book concludes with an outline of the principal rules for long service life roofing. Read more

  • Weak and Speculative
I thought this might be a good industry reference in explaining the mechanisms of roof failures. In my opinion, it doesn't actually explain how roofs fail. It gives some potentially useful service life tables but doesn't cite where the numbers are coming from. It doesn't even talk about how UV degrades the various roofing materials. Basically, it gives a birds eye view of some common roofing systems and then a bunch of case studies that are poorly explained. Disappointing to me. ... show more
