5.6.1 Wind Resistance for Underlayment Systems in Foam-On Tile Applications: FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12) does not
address wind uplift resistance of all underlayment systems beneath foam-on tile systems,where the underlayment
forms part of the load-path. The following wind uplift limitations apply to underlayment systems that are not
addressed in FRSA/TRI April 2012(04-12)and are used in foam-on tile applications. Maximum Design Pressure is the
result of testing for wind load resistance based on allowable wind loads, and reflects the ultimate passing pressure
divided by 2(the 2 to 1 margin of safety per FBC 1504.9 has already been applied).Refer to FRSA/TRI April 2012(04-
12),Appendix A,Table 1A or FBC 1609 for determination of design wind loads.
#1 Maximum Design Pressure=-52.5 psf:
Deck: Min. 15/32-inch plywood to meet project requirements to satisfaction of Authority Having
Jurisdiction.
Primer: None
Underlayment: Weather-Armor®FT3 Tile Underlayment or Eagle-Armor by Apoc,self-adhered.
#2 Maximum Design Pressure=-135.0 psf:
Deck: Min. 19/32-inch APA span-rated CDX plywood to meet project requirements to satisfaction of
Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Primer: None.
Underlayment: Weather-Armor® FT3 Tile Underlayment or Eagle-Armor by Apoc,self-adhered.
5.7 Exposure Limitations:
Gator-Skin TM Synthetic Roof Underlayment, Gator-Skin 10111 Synthetic Roof Underlayment or Weather-Armor®
CrossOver CX-L Premium Hybrid Roof Underlayment shall not be left exposed for longer than 30-days after
installation.
