Abstract
In roof assembly configurations with nailable roof coverings, such as asphalt shingles and metal panels, factory fabricated, nail-base insulation is becoming more common as a component of insulation entirely above the roof deck. Because nail-base insulation serves multiple functions, including being a roof covering substrate and thermal insulation layer, proper design and specification are essential for roof assembly performance.
