The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) has converted its Modified Bitumen Design Guide for Building Owners into an eBook.
The recently updated guide is now available for roofing professionals to view it on their smartphones or tablets. The document is a general instructional aid for the installation of modified bitumen roofing systems and their associated components, construction techniques, and innovative uses.
The guide provides options for overburdens such as solar, garden, and recreational installations that push the roofing system and the membrane beyond their primary function of providing water resistance.
