Adding to this mix is today's escalating focus on energy conservation and sustainable construction, which has spurred increased consideration of the selection and use of efficient and reliable roof insulation materials. Rising energy costs require engineers, architects, contractors and building owners to evaluate various roof insulations and select a product that satisfies design requirements and promotes environmental friendliness.
In fact, demand for energy conservation has been a major catalyst for enhanced energy codes throughout the country. Concerns for the environment have led to calls for the use of more eco-friendly roofing systems, from application to re-roofing and disposal.
