3.5 LOW SLOPE ROOFING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A. Install Owens Corning low slope roofing system in accordance with Owens Corning installation
instructions and in accordance with local building code requirements.
B. Owens Corning
low slope roofing system should only be installed on roofs with a slope of ¼:12 to
2:12.
C. Apply only when the weather is dry and the ambient temperature is 45°F (7°C) and rising. Do not
install when water in any form (i.e. rain, dew, ice, frost, snow) exist.

3.6 VENT INSTALLATION
A. Install Owens Corning™ vents in accordance with Owens Corning installation instructions and local
building code requirements.

recommends:
1. Net Free Ventilating Area (NFVA) of 1:150 as a minimum.
2. Balanced approach for most effective ventilation (balance between the lower and upper parts of
the roof by providing 50% of NFVA at the soffit and 50% at the ridge).
3. NFVA at the upper part of the roof should not exceed 50%.
4. Where length of the roof ridge is sufficient provide continuous ridge vents for most effective
ventilation approach.
