Vinyl membrane decking can prolong the life cycle of various building components; however, performance and durability depend on vinyl membrane selection, specification, and installation. Fortunately, vinyl membrane manufacturers can support architects, contractors, and specifiers through all phases of the project to ensure a successful outcome. This course examines walkable, waterproof roof deck membranes and roofing systems and includes discussions on system characteristics, design considerations, and how to properly specify roof deck membrane systems. 

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Summarize the characteristics, styles, advantages, and sustainable aspects of walkable roof deck membranes.
  • Explain the importance of water/moisture management and the appropriate deflection, drainage, drying, and detailing measures that should be taken to ensure protection of the building envelope.
  • Discuss how the manufacturer can support design and construction professionals through each project stage to ensure a long service life and a safe surface for foot traffic.
  • Recall key considerations that should be part of the specification of a walkable roof deck membrane system.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
