Abstract
Points out that many problems have arisen in the flat roofing industry as a result of the inadequacy of the earlier specification. In addition the suggested remedies bring many other difficulties in their wake. Aims to identify the pitfalls and suggest some solutions. Discusses different types of insulations with their advantages and disadvantages. Concludes by outlining the recommended upgrading specification for a flat roof.
