Flexible membrane roofing materials are one of the more common types of roofing materials and probably the most common type for commercial structures. The materials used for membrane roofs include thermoset materials, thermoplastic materials and modified bitumen materials. This 3-hour interactive online course covers an introduction into these materials and products used with them, including fasteners, insulation materials, adhesives and fabrics. Additional RedVector.com courses are available on design considerations. This course includes a test at the end.
