SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Roofing. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Roof systems in which a flexible sheet membrane forms the primary weather barrier, together with the insulation, cover board, vapor retarder, attachment, flashings, and terminations that make the membrane work. Covers thermoplastic sheet (TPO, PVC, KEE), thermoset sheet (EPDM), and polymer-modified bitumen sheet (SBS, APP) membranes; mechanically attached, induction-welded, adhered, self-adhered, torch-applied, hot-mopped, cold-adhesive, and ballasted attachment; new construction, tear-off replacement, recover, and partial replacement; wind uplift and fire design basis, field seaming, flashing and termination detailing, field testing, and warranty.
Shop- and field-formed architectural sheet metal that closes the building envelope at interfaces - copings on parapets, gravel stops, fasciae and drip edges at roof edges, counterflashings over membrane base flashings, through-wall and head and sill flashings, gutters, downspouts, scuppers and conductor heads, expansion joint covers, and closure and reveal trim. Covers zinc-coated and aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and architectural zinc; coil-applied and anodized finishes; forming, hemming, seaming, soldering, and welding; thermal movement and expansion joint provisions; wind securement of low-slope roof edges to ANSI/SPRI ES-1; fastener, cleat, sealant, and underlayment selection; and galvanic separation of dissimilar metals.
Cold-formed steel deck for floor and roof construction in commercial, institutional, industrial, and multi-family buildings. Covers composite floor deck (acting compositely with structural concrete topping), non-composite form deck (acting as a permanent stay-in-place form for a concrete slab), and roof deck profiles (Type B wide-rib, Type N deep-rib, Type A narrow-rib, Type F intermediate-rib). Addresses material grade and galvanized coating selection (G60, G90), deck profile and depth, gauge, attachment to supports (arc spot welds, powder-actuated fasteners, screws), side-lap fastening, diaphragm action, concrete fill for composite slabs, openings and reinforcement, accessories (closures, pour stops, ridge and valley plates), and field inspection.
