FM 4470.
4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 General:
Installation of the CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane roof
covering systems described in this report must comply
with the applicable code, the manufacturer’s published
installation instructions and this report. The manufacturer’s
published installation instructions must be available at all
times on the jobsite during installation. CertainTeed
Flintlastic roofing membranes are components of roof
covering systems that may be installed over new or
existing roofs as described in Tables 1A through 1D and
2A through 2F.
The roof slope must be a minimum of 1/4 :12 (2 percent
slope) and must not be more than maximum slope for the
particular system as specified in Tables 1A through 1D.
Penetrations and terminations of the roof covering must
be flashed and made weathertight in accordance with the
CertainTeed LLC’s published installation instructions and
the applicable code.
4.2 Fire Classification:
4.2.1 New Construction: Roof covering systems
described in Tables 1A through 1D, when installed in
accordance with this report, are Class A, B or C roof
coverings in accordance with ASTM E108 or UL 790.
4.2.2 Reroofing: Prior to installation of new roof
coverings, inspection in accordance with 2018 IBC Section
ESR-1388 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 3 of 27
1511 [2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC Section 1510] and 2018
IRC Section R908 [2015, 2012 and 2009 IRC Section
R907], and approval from the code official having
jurisdiction, are required.
Class A, B or C roof covering systems may be installed
over existing roof coverings without additional roof
classification tests, provided the resulting classification is
the lower of the new and existing roofing classifications
under the following conditions:
New uninsulated systems installed only over existing
uninsulated systems
New insulated systems installed over existing
uninsulated systems only
4.3 Wind Uplift Resistance:
4.3.1 New Construction: The CertainTeed Flintlastic
membrane roof covering systems described in this report
have a maximum allowable wind uplift capacity as shown
in Tables 2A through 2F. Metal edge securement systems
must be listed in accordance with the 2011 edition of
ANSI/SPRI/FM4435 ES-1, and designed and installed in
accordance with 2018 and 2015 IBC Section 1504.5 and
IBC Chapter 16 [2003 edition of ANSI/SPRI ES-1, and
designed and installed in accordance with 2012 and 2009
IBC Section 1504.5 and 2012 and 2009 IBC Chapter 16].
4.3.2 Reroofing: Roof covering systems employing
mechanical fasteners must be qualified, to the satisfaction
of the code official, on adequacy of fasteners penetrating
through existing roof coverings into structural substrates.
Since the composition and/or condition of any particular
underlying existing roofing material can vary widely,
reroofing with adhered systems is outside the scope of this
report.
5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE
The CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane roof covering
systems described in this report comply with, or are
suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes
listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following
conditions:
5.1 Installation must comply with the applicable code, the
manufacturer’s published installation instructions and
this report. If there are any conflicts between the
manufacturer’s published installation instructions and
this report, this report governs.
5.2 The roof covering systems must be installed only by
authorized applicators approved by CertainTeed LLC.
5.3 Foam plastic insulation must be separated from the
interior of the building by an approved thermal barrier
in accordance with IBC Section 2603.4.1.5 and IRC
Section R316.5.2, except when specifically
recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report as outlined
in Footnote 3 following Table 1D.
5.4 For all above-deck insulations except foam plastics,
the roof covering assembly, including such insulation,
must have passed testing in accordance with UL 1256
or FM 4450.
5.5 Foam plastic insulation, where used, must bear the
label of an approved agency indicating that the foam
plastic has a flame-spread index of not more than 75
when tested at the maximum thickness intended for
use in accordance with ASTM E84 or UL 723, subject
to the approval of the code official. Except for
applications where a thermal barrier is not required,
total thickness of foam plastic insulation must be
limited to the lesser of the maximum thickness
allowed in Tables 1A, 1C and 2A through 2F or the
maximum thickness that limits the flame-spread index
to not more than 75 when testing is in accordance
with ASTM E84 or UL 723, subject to the approval of
the code official.
5.6 Design wind uplift pressure on any roof area,
including edge and corner zones, must not exceed
the allowable wind uplift pressure for the roof covering
installed in that particular area. Refer to allowable
wind uplift pressure shown in Tables 2A through 2F.
5.7 Above-deck thermal insulation board must comply
with the applicable standards listed in IBC
Table 1508.2 and IRC Table R906.2.
5.8 The allowable wind-uplift pressures shown in
Tables 2A through 2F are for the roof covering only.
The deck and framing to which the roof covering is
attached must be designed for the applicable
components, and cladding wind loads in accordance
with the applicable code.
5.9 Calculations demonstrating that the required wind
resistance is less than the allowable wind resistance
must be submitted to the code official.
5.10 When application is over existing roofs,
documentation of the wind-uplift resistance of the
composite roof construction must be submitted to
the code official at the time of permit application.
5.11 The membranes are manufactured in Little Rock,
Arkansas, under quality control programs with
inspections by ICC-ES.
