With the publication of this collection, WSRCA does not intend to exclude the use of these proven localized practices.
The details contained in this manual should be considered general in nature, depicting components, methods and sequences commonly utilized. It is the responsibility of the roof designer to adapt these details to suit specific project conditions.

It is the recommendation of the WSRCA that the design of any specific roof assembly be based on careful consideration of all the criteria affecting the specification, application and performance of the roof assembly. |
