Thermal and mechanical properties are discussed for insulating materials for built-up roofing systems, the various materials including fiberboard, perlite, fiberglass, cellular glass, foamed urethane, perlite/urethane, fiberglass/urethane, extruded polystyrene, molded polystyrene, sprayed urethane foam, poured insulating concrete, and compacted thermosetting fill. An example calculation of the overall coefficient of heat transfer is given, and criteria for selecting insulation are presented. (PMA)
