Fiberdeck

(OP)
I have been asked to run some numbers on an existing roof system built in 1971.  Does anyone have any information on fiberdeck and bulb tees.

Thanks

RE: Fiberdeck

It sounds like you are describing Tectum deck.  The company that produces Tectum is still in business - you should be able to get load tables from them.

RE: Fiberdeck

Not necessarily, Ron.  It could be Tectum or Insulrock.  Since he called it "fiberdeck", that would be my guess.  We used a lot of Tectum on bulb tees in the 70's.

RE: Fiberdeck

hokie66...I saw a lot of Tectum in the 70's and did a lot of load testing on one of their competitor's products (CPI), but it was mostly on OWSJ.  Certainly amenable to bulb tee applications, though.

RE: Fiberdeck

Thanks, hokie66...good reference.  Should give a star to SRE as well!!
