Re-Roof and Recover with Expanded Polystyrene
Description:
This presentation will analyze key physical properties of different EPS products used in roofing applications. Attendees will compare the economic advantages of using EPS in different roofing applications versus alternative insulation options. The course will provide attendees with the opportunity to investigate the features and benefits of different EPS products (standard, faced, composites) and learn about the roofing applications in which they are used. At the conclusion, they will identify what components to consider when preparing a specification for EPS vs. another insulation product in a roofing application: R-value, compressive strength, product performance, and labor costs.
