WSRCA ROADSHOW:
FREMONT, CA: NOV. 8TH - WSRCA TECHNICAL ADVISOR KEN KLEIN

HOSTED BY: CERTAINTEED

As the Technical Advisor for Western States Roofing Contractors Association, Ken Klein has worked with many WSRCA contractor members in developing technical bulletins. Each year WSRCA develops eight bulletins and presents them to the membership. This session will review the recent bulletins that have been prepared and discuss their ramifications and impact on the roofing and waterproofing industry. Some of the recent WSRCA technical bulletins will include:

• Why water testing low slope roofs is not a good idea.
• Susceptibility of sheathing deterioration in low slope roofs especially under a cool roof (e.g., high reflective and emmitance)
• Recent California code requirements, regarding exterior elevated elements, such as balconies and walkways to design new and assess existing structural and waterproofing components to help prevent future collapses.
• Ventilating and/or insulating wood framed parapets to limit moisture collection and prevent condensation and subsequent deterioration.
• First stage testing of fabric-reinforced fluid applied flashing testing to assess adhesion and weathering.

This interactive presentation will allow for input and discussion on these and, time permitting, other topics.
