The provisions of Chapter 15 of the.' Florida Building Code, .$uziding gQUerv. the nypimuin requirements and standards of the industry for roofing system installations. •E4ddEt vna l} IA&fol4owtai items should be addressed as part of the agreement between the owner and the cc ,ttaltot. gwpef § initial in the adjacent box indicates that the item has been explained. 1: Aesthetics - Workmanship: The workmanship provisions of Chapter 15 (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) are for the purpose of providing that the roofing system meets the wind resistance and water intrusion performance standards. Aesthetics (appearance) issues are not a consideration with respect to workmanship provisions. Aesthetic issues such . as color or architectural appearance, that are not part of a zoning code, should be addressed as part of the agreement between the owner and the contractor. 6 2. Renailing Wood Decks: When replacing roofing, the existing wood roof deck may have to be mailed in accordance with the current provisions of Chapter 16 (High Velocity Hurricane Zones) of the Florida Building Code. (The roof deck is usually concealed prior to removing the existing roof system). 3. Common Roofs: Common roofs are those which have no visible delineation between neighboring units (i.e. townhouses, condominiums, etc.). In buildings with common roofs, the roofing contractor and/or owner should notify the occupants of adjacent units of roofing work to be performed. Pe4. Exposed Ceilings: Exposed, open beam ceilings are where the underside of the roof decking can be viewed from below. The owner may wish to maintain the architectural appearance, therefore, roofing nail penetrations of the underside of the decking may not be acceptable. The Florida Building Code provides the option of maintaining this appearance. 1,6*‘ • 5. Ponding Water: The current roof system and/or deck of the building may not drain well and may cause water to pond (accumulate) in low -lying areas of the roof. Ponding can be an indication of structural distress and may require the review of a professional structural engineer. Ponding may shorten the life expectancy and performance of the new roofing system. Ponding conditions may not be evident until the original roofing system is removed. Ponding conditions should be corrected. 1214 6. Overflow scuppers (wall outlets): It is required that rainwater flow off so that the roof is not overloaded from a build up of water. Perimeter /edge walls or other roof extensions may block this discharge if overflow scuppers (wall outlets) are not provided. It may be necessary to install overflow scuppers in accordance with the Florida Building Code, Plumbing. 7. Ventilation: Most roof .structures should have some ability to vent natural airflow through the interior of the structural assembly (the building itself). The existing amount of attic ventilation shall not be reduced. It may be beneficial to consider additional venting which can result in extending the service life of the roof.
