Flexible membrane roofing materials are one of the more common types of roofing materials and probably the most common type for commercial structures. One of the important design considerations for a roof is the wind loading and the most critical area for wind loading is the edge of the roofing system.

This 2-hour interactive online course provides a design guide for edge systems used with low sloped flexible membrane roofing systems. Another RedVector.com course is available on materials used for flexible membrane roofing and additional courses are available on other design considerations.

This course includes a test at the end.
