it is the responsibility of the designer of the building to provide tor aoeauate expansion tomts
For the protection of the roofing system against touts caused by expansion and contraction, hoopers recommends mat an expan sion joint be installed: 111 on root areas larger man 200 teat in each direction. |2) at all places where the structural supports ana roof assembly change direction 13) where ryoe of adioming deck materials change

ROOF MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
Effective Maintenance with Tar and Asphalt Roof Resaturants
Lowvnth* softening point of ttw top pour of bitumon.

Adds additional waterproofing to th surfaoo.
Provides a means of new gravel embedment
Purpose:
Many factors o*ay a part m me service Me of a roof Soma factors art uncontrolled* Other* can definitely 6e controlled There are some aspects of root degradation that wm follow a recognized path and tne end result can be predicted
The normal degradation of a built-up roof begins at the top surface Thu it understandable smce rt it the top surface that s subjected to the deleterious etomenta of me atmosphere As soon as a roofing bitumen t* exposed to these elements, an age hardening process oegms As me softening potnt ol me bitumen increases, cold flow properties dimmish and resistance to moisture penetration decreases The vofatixmg or subliming of a roofing bitumen takas its toil on me performance characteristics of the bitumen
At some time prior to the roof reaching the point wnen maintenance is no longer feasible, preventive maintenance thp. j be established, even though the roof may not be leaking After considering the age. type of bitumen used to construct the root, and general condition, the use of Hoppers Roof Resaturants offers an effective means of implementing preventive roof maintenance
