Preliminary Conclusions
Purpose of Study
• Evaluate Basic peel and shear strength of
different formulations of self-adhered modified
sheet currently on the market
Objectives of study
•
Study at least five (5) different products
– Not all products available were tested
•
•
Use 4 different temperature environments for
assembly and testing
Heat treat some assemblies at 140ºF before
testing at selected temperature

Self Adhered MB – Prelim. Conclusions
•
•
•
•
Assembly temperature has a pronounced
effect
Best assembly temperature ~55ºF
Heat treating at 140ºF has a substantial
impact
Caution is advised
– These materials appear to be a more demanding
to use in the field
Practicality Comments

Transportation & Delivery Issues
Hot Topics for 2006
• Dave Lowrey – North Coast Roofing Systems
It’s all About Fuel
2006 Materials Prices Escalating
• Higher Natural Gas and Oil Prices Affects
–
–
–
–
Insulations
Membranes
Coatings
Plastics
• Asphaltic & Plastic Products
– Expected to rise 10% – 15%
Diesel Prices
• Higher Diesel Fuel Price
– Stiffer Fuel Surcharges
= Higher Price Pressure
Most Construction Materials
• Natl.Driver Shortage
• D.O.T. hours of
service
• Crane signal
communication on
jobsites
• City of Chicago
permits / fines
• Short 20,000 Drivers in 2005
• ATA Predicts Long Haul
Shortage
– 111,000 by 2014
– 219,000 needed for drivers 55+
• Manufacturers pay more for less
• DOT Hours of Service
• Limited “in service”
hours for semi-drivers
requires better
contractor anticipation
and communication
when receiving
materials at jobsite.
• Service Hours - 2006
• 60 hours in 7 days
– 12 hour max per day
• 70 hours in 8 days
– 12 hour max per day
• 34 hours off
• All hours (including all waiting
time) are counted.
Consequences
• Lawsuits against
carrier for over legal
limit accidents.
• Moving violations
against driver.
• D.O.T. pressure on
entire carrier fleet.
Results:
• Carriers become
customer selective
Coming in 2008
Computerized
logs
• Crane Safety Signals
• 50% of the time men on
the roof do not use the
correct hand signals
to direct a crane at a
jobsite.
Chicago Roofing
What the heck
do you mean by
Industrythat?
Update
Crane signals
Operator line of
sight is limited
from the ground.
Signal man must be
within line of sight of
operator.
City of Chicago – Special Permits
Chicago requires:
1. Curb permit
2. Over the sidewalk permit
3. Job permit
Chicago fines w/o permits
•
•
•
•
Job permit – fine varies
No curb permit – fine $250.00
No sidewalk permit – fine $250.00
Blocking 1st lane of traffic – fine $500.00.
How am I
supposed to
Try a skyhook.
Chicago
Roofing Industry Update
get this to the
roof without
blocking
traffic?
City fines
• Among other things, distributors
are logistic planners
• Choosing the right planner
can and will make a
positive difference in your
end product and profit.
Materials Availability & Cost Issues
• Bob Tafaro – GAF Materials Corp.
– Sr. Vice President
2006 Product Availability
• Laminate / strips capacity utilization
tight through mid-year
• MB / BUR readily available throughout
the Midwest
• ISO much shorter lead times
Lead Times
• Shortest in the:
–
–
–
–
–
Northeast
Central
West Coast
Southeast
Southwest
• Greatest on:
– Laminates
– Strips
Price Stability
• Little risk of downwind pressure in first 6
months of 2006
• Greater risk of upwind pressure due to:
–
–
–
–
Asphalt
Energy
Transportation
Polymers
• Picture could worsen due to politics
