Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Glass base sheets provide a dimensionally stable, fire-resistant base ply for torch, hot-applied or cold-applied modified systems. Plan laps per the system specification and prime porous decks before mopping. Order cap sheet and mastic quantities in the same takeoff so the assembly is compatible end to end.
Follow roof system installation and hot-working safety practices, and check the deck and system specification before installation.
