A strip of OSB sheathing is installed along the perimeter when retrofitting a flat roof with a parapet
Image
Image
Closed-cell foam is sprayed into roof cavities along the masonry parapet wall to form a continuous air barrier between the wall and the sheathing of the flat roof
Image
Closed-cell spray foam fills the roof joist cavities forming an air barrier between the masonry parapet wall and the roof sheathing
Image
High winds pulled the asphalt shingles and sheathing panels off this coastal home, although storm shutters protected the windows
Image
New coated OSB roof sheathing is installed over the existing sheathing of the flat roof and taped at the seams to provide a continuous air barrier
Image
Polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation is installed in multiple layers with staggered, taped seams over the flat roof
Image
Retrofit an existing roof by installing rigid foam, new moisture and air control layers, new sheathing, and new cladding plus cavity insulation in the roof rafters to create an unvented attic
Image
Right - Here, air control is established by taping the seams of the plywood panel sheathing. The roof sheathing is also trimmed flush with the wall sheathing to allow a simple and airtight connection between the roof and wall assemblies
Image
Right - The air control membrane installed over the roof sheathing is continuous. It connects to the air control of the wall around the entire perimeter without interruption. The roof overhangs have been cut off to make this connection continuous
Image
Right - These roof insulation panels are installed in multiple layers with joints offset both vertically and horizontally. The plywood nail base fastened to the roof framing holds the insulation layers together snuggly thus minimizing gaps
Image
Image
Right – If drip edge flashing is installed over fully adhered roof membrane at eaves, use flashing cement to seal the upper edge of the flashing
Image
Right – Install asphalt shingles over a starter strip set in an 8-inch strip of flashing cement

Right – Start asphalt shingle installation with a starter strip set in an 8-inch strip of flashing cement
Image
Right – Taping the roof sheathing seams can greatly decrease the likelihood of water infiltration into a home in the event of a hurricane.
Image
Right – Under metal roofing, sheathing is protected by metal edging over a fully adhered membrane and a slip sheet of loose laid building paper
Image
Image
Sheathing is removed from a flat roof to retrofit with air sealing, insulation, and water control layers
Image
Sleepers (tapered wood furring strips) are installed over the existing board sheathing to slope the new sheathing toward the drain in this flat roof retrofit
Image
The existing sheathing boards are removed near the perimeter of the flat roof and pressure-treated plywood is installed at the vertical face of the parapet
Image
The retrofitted flat roof has PV panels and walking mats installed over the roofing membrane
Image
The wood blocking for future PV panel installation extends above the surface of the top layer of polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation installed as part of a flat roof retrofit
Image
This roof is hurricane proofed with a coated insulated OSB deck sheathing that is caulked and taped at all seams with a water-resistant tape, then fully covered with a peel-and-stick membrane, and asphalt shingles.
