A study of a number of roofs in which membrane shrinkage had been observed revealed that movement had taken place at one of two planes : at the membrane-insulation interface or at the insulation-deck interface. In certain cases both appeared to have been involved. Examples of the first type consisted of installations where coated base sheets had been placed dry(without asphalt) over polystyrene insulation without adhering. Movement at the insulation-deck interface resulted from improper attachment of the roofing to the deck because of lack of nailing to wooden decks or inadequate adhesion to most others. 3, record 7, English, - coated%20base%20sheet

Une étude d'un certain nombre de toits dont l'étanchéité avait subi un rétrécissement a révélé que les déplacements s'étaient produits dans l'un des deux plans suivants : à la surface de contact étanchéité - isolant ou au contact isolant - platelage. Dans quelques cas, le déplacement s'était produit dans les deux plans à la fois. Le premier type de déplacement se retrouvait, entre autres, dans les toitures où la feuille de base enduite de 33 lb avait été posée à sec (sans asphalte) sur un isolant en polystyrène. Les déplacements à la surface de contact de l'isolant et du platelage étaient dus à une mauvaise fixation de la couverture au platelage, par absence de clouage dans le cas des platelages en bois, par adhérence insuffisante dans les autres cas. 2, record 7, French, - feuille%20de%20base%20enduite
