Abstract
Proper tapered design in low-slope roofing applications is essential to the performance and longevity of the system. Design-for-slope varies widely due to influencing factors, including: codes, cost, building limitations, and designer preferences. Subtle design changes can have a large effect on the effectiveness of a design. A working knowledge of how to read and interpret a proposed tapered design is therefore a vital tool to a design professional. This presentation wil aim to educate attendees on how to read a tapered drawing and analyze it for good drainage, as well as for proper wind, fire, and thermal code compliance.
