Abstract
While the thermal performance of a roof insulation is an important metric to consider when selecting and specifying products, several other material characteristics need to be evaluated, such as compressive strength, fire resistance, moisture absorption resistance, dimensional stability, and substrate durability. Roofing insulation manufacturers provide laboratory test results for these and other material characteristics. However, limited information is available for the performance of aged in situ materials.
