About this file

This file is a Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS) for Section 07 22 00 Roof and Deck Insulation, serving as a technical standard template for roof and deck insulation materials and installation procedures in federal construction projects.

The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for roof insulation products, including expanded perlite board, cellular glass boards, polystyrene board, and mineral fiber insulation board, with minimum recycled content percentages ranging from 9 to 100 percent depending on material type. Installation requirements mandate two-layer applications with staggered joints when total thickness exceeds one-half inch, with specific precautions for foam insulation types requiring protective overlayment boards. Fastener specifications vary by deck type—including barbed nails for wood decks, annular ring shank nails for plywood, hardened penetrating fasteners for steel decks, and screws for concrete decks—all conforming to FM approval standards. Fire performance requirements specify a flame spread rating of 75 or less per ASTM E84, with thermal barrier requirements using glass mat gypsum roof board over steel decks. Cover board options include glass mat gypsum roof board meeting ASTM C1177 standards or high density wood fiber board per ASTM C208. The specification requires indoor air quality certification through UL 2818 Greenguard Gold, SCS Global Services Indoor Advantage Gold, or equivalent third-party programs. Critical execution requirements include surface inspection and preparation prior to installation, environmental condition controls prohibiting installation below 40 degrees Fahrenheit with interior humidity exceeding 45 percent, daily covering of completed insulation work with finished roofing, and comprehensive quality control procedures performed by an experienced roof insulation technician on-site during all operations.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION AND PREPARATION

3.1.1 Surface Inspection

Ensure surfaces are clean, smooth, and dry prior to application. Check roof deck surfaces, including surfaces sloped to roof drains and outlets, for defects before starting work.

The Contractor must inspect and approve the surfaces immediately before starting installation. Prior to installing insulation, perform the following:

a. Examine wood decks to ascertain that deck boards have been properly nailed and that exposed nail heads have been set.

b. Examine steel decks to ensure that panels are properly secured to structural members and to each other and that surfaces of top flanges are flat or slightly convex.

c. Examine precast concrete decks to ensure that joints between precast units are properly grouted and leveled to provide suitable surfaces for installation of insulation.

e. Prior to installing any roof system on a concrete deck, moisture test the deck in accordance with ASTM D4263. The deck is acceptable for roof system application when there is no visible moisture on underside of plastic sheet after 24 hours.

3.1.2 Surface Preparation

Correct defects and inaccuracies in roof deck surface to eliminate poor drainage from hollow or low spots, perform the following:

a. Provide wood nailers of the same thickness as the insulation at eaves, edges, curbs, walls, and roof openings for securing of cant strips, gravel stops, and flashing flanges.

b. Fill or cover cracks or knot holes larger than 13 mm 1/2 inch in diameter in wood decks as necessary to form an unyielding surface.

3.1

3.2 INSULATION INSTALLATION

Apply insulation in two layers with staggered joints when total required thickness of insulation exceeds 13 mm, 1/2 inch. Lay insulation so that continuous longitudinal joints are perpendicular to direction of roofing and end joints of each course are staggered with those of adjoining courses. When using multiple layers of insulation, provide joints of each succeeding layer that are parallel and offset in both directions with respect to the layer below. Keep insulation 13 mm, 1/2 inch, clear of vertical surfaces penetrating and projecting from roof surface. Verify required slopes to each roof drain.

3.2.1 Special Precautions for Installation of Foam Insulation

3.2.1.1 Polyisocyanurate Insulation

Where polyisocyanurate foam board insulation is provided, install 13 mm, 1/2 inch, thick wood fiberboard, glass mat gypsum roof board, or 19 mm, 3/4 inch, thick expanded perlite board insulation over top surface of foam board insulation. Stagger joints of insulation with respect to foam board insulation below.

3.2.1.2 Polystyrene Insulation

a. Over the top surface of non-composite polystyrene board, install 13 mm, 1/2 inch, thick high density wood fiberboard, 19 mm, 3/4 inch, thick expanded perlite board, glass mat gypsum roof board, or other overlayment approved by roofing sheet manufacturer. Tightly butt and stagger joints of field applied overlayment board at least 150 mm 6 inches with respect to the polystyrene board below. Apply 150 mm 6 inch wide glass fiber roofing tape centered over joints and edges of overlayment board.

b. Where composite boards consisting of polystyrene insulation are provided, apply 150 mm 6 inch wide glass fiber roofing tape centered over joints and edges of composite board. Apply joint strips as recommended by roofing sheet manufacturer.

3.2.2 Tapered Edge Strips

Where indicated, provide edge strips in the right angle formed by the juncture of roof and wood nailing strips that extend above the level of the roof. Install edge strips flush to vertical surfaces of wood nailing strips. Where possible, nail edge strips to adjoining surfaces. Where installed against non-nailable materials, install in an approved adhesive.

3.3 PROTECTION

3.3.1 Protection of Applied Insulation

Completely cover each day's installation of insulation with finished roofing specified on same day. Phased construction is not permitted. Protect open spaces between insulation and parapets or other walls and spaces at curbs, scuttles, and expansion joints, until permanent roofing and flashing are applied. Storing, walking, wheeling, or trucking directly on insulation or on roofed surfaces is not permitted. Provide smooth, clean board or plank walkways, runways, and platforms near supports, as necessary, to distribute weight in accordance with indicated live load limits of roof construction. Protect exposed edges of insulation with cutoffs at the end of each work day or whenever precipitation is imminent. Cutoffs must be two layers of bituminous-saturated felt set in plastic bituminous cement or EPDM membrane set in roof cement. Fill all profile voids in cutoffs to prevent trapping moisture below the membrane. Remove cutoffs when work resumes.

3.3.2 Damaged Work and Materials

Restore work and materials that become damaged during construction to original condition or replace with new materials.

3.4 INSPECTION

Establish and maintain inspection procedures to assure compliance of the installed roof insulation with contract requirements. Remove, replace, correct in an approved manner, any work found not in compliance. Quality control must include, but is not limited to, the following:

a. Observation of environmental conditions; number and skill level of insulation workers; start and end time of work.

b. Verification of certification, listing or label compliance with FM Data Sheets. (https://www.fmglobal.com/fmglobalregistration/Downloads.aspx)

c. Verification of proper storage and handling of insulation and vapor retarder materials before, during, and after installation.

d. Inspection of vapor retarder application, including edge envelopes and mechanical fastening.

e. Inspection of mechanical fasteners; type, number, length, and spacing.

f. Coordination with other materials, cants, sleepers, and nailing strips.

g. Inspection of insulation joint orientation and laps between layers, joint width and bearing of edges of insulation on deck.

h. Installation of cutoffs and proper joining of work on subsequent days.

i. Continuation of complete roofing system installation to cover insulation installed same day.

j. Verification of required slope to each roof drain.

k. A roof insulation technician, responsible directly to the Contractor and experienced in the installation of roof insulation and related work, must perform the inspection functions and be on the site whenever roof insulation operations are in progress.
