Testing

ROOFTECH established its testing laboratory in 1986 to perform a variety of ASTM testing on built-up roofing systems for forensic and quality control analysis. Following a series of hailstorms in the late 1980s, we began adapting ASTM D3746 – 85 Standard Test Method for Impact Resistance of Bituminous Roofing Systems to evaluate hail damage on bituminous roofing. From there we expanded our testing to include single ply roofing. We recently completed an independent study of the hail resistance of built-up and modified bitumen roofing and published the results in a peer-reviewed paper, Testing Built-Up and Modified Bitumen Roofs for Hail Damage (IIBEC 2022).
