Ballasting has a significant effect on the total weight of a roof assembly. The weight of an assembly is important since it affects the total physical load on the structure. In the case of reroofing, weight may limit the options available, since the existing structure may not be strong enough to carry the added load required by some designs. 4, record 1, English, - reroofing

Le lest a un effet important sur la masse totale d’un ensemble de couverture. La masse d’un ensemble est importante puisqu'elle a un effet sur la charge globale imposée à la structure. Dans le cas d’une réfection de couverture, la masse peut limiter les possibilités, car la structure existante peut ne pas être assez résistante pour supporter la charge supplémentaire qu'exigent certains types de couvertures. 3, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9fection%20de%20toiture
