The top ply should be installed in a flood coat of asphalt/bitumen as well. It is important that the asphalt/bitumen has to be at the correct temperature at the point of application. The asphalt/bitumen flood coat must impregnate the entire polyester fleece material, only the top fleece surface needs to be flood coated. Particular attention is paid to the skylight corner curb detail ... The installation is finally complete once the parapet flashing are installed. The protected roof membrane is then given a glaze coat of asphalt and insulation, slip sheet and ballast are installed and placed on the roof. 2, record 1, English, - parapet%20flashing

Metal coping is often used to cover the top of a parapet wall in lieu of masonry copings. If your composition flashing system is the full height of the parapet wall, extend this flashing over the top to the outside edge of the parapet. This will ensure no interior leaks should water enter at the metal coping joints. 2, record 2, English, - metal%20coping

The shingles on the sloped portions of the roof are a slate green shingle, the glass is green tinted glass and the mullions will be white anodized metal.

Le solin de couronnement est un terme généralement utilisé pour désigner le chaperon métallique qui recouvre le couronnement du parapet. Il sert à protéger la bordure supérieure du solin de base. Il peut également, s’il est bien conçu, ajouter une touche visuelle à la bordure de toit. Bien qu'il ne soit pas étanche à l'eau, le solin de couronnement permet d’écarter l'eau et doit être incliné vers le toit. 2, record 2, French, - chaperon%20de%20m%C3%A9tal

La rigidité de l'étanchéité multicouche nécessite un tasseau biseauté à la base du parapet afin de soutenir le solin au tournant du coin. Les feutres du solin sont prolongés par-dessus le parapet. Une attention particulière doit être apportée lors de l'épandage du bitume sur les feutres afin d’éviter d’endommager le revêtement du mur extérieur. Les feutres secs ne sont pas étanches à l'eau et ne peuvent empêcher les infiltrations d’eau dans le parapet. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9pandage

Flashings are used to make watertight any roof area where the roof membrane terminates, is interrupted, or intersects an area or projection having a marked change in slope or direction ... Flashings are generally divided into two categories: base flashings and counterflashings. Base flashings are, in a sense, a continuation of the membrane, turned up onto a surface that is in a different plane from the field of the roof, and installed as a separate operation. They are usually fabricated using a nonmetallic material, such as an asphalt-coated felt. Counterflashings, or cap flashings, can be of metal, coated felt, or other materials. They shield and seal the exposed edges of the base flashing. The combined use of non-metallic materials for base flashings and metal for counterflashings brings out the best in each material. Bituminous base flashing materials have the same coefficient of expansion and contraction as the roof membrane, and they work together as a unit. They are the only type of material acceptable for use in constructing base flashings. 2, record 4, English, - bituminous%20base%20flashing

Le solin de base peut être un prolongement de la membrane de couverture ou être constitué d’un autre matériau qui est liaisonné à la membrane pour former un joint étanche à l'eau. Il monte le long des surfaces verticales pour acheminer l'eau à la membrane. Si le toit se termine à un parapet ou à une chanlatte, le solin de base devrait passer par-dessus cette construction et être fixé à l'extérieur, par exemple à une bande de clouage. On réduit ainsi au minimum les risques que de l'eau s’infiltre derrière le solin de base et dans le toit. 3, record 4, French, - solin%20de%20base%20bitumineux
