Modified Bitumen Design Guide Now Sold as eBook and Print-On-Demand Versions
Washington (October 5, 2017) – The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) has converted its Modified Bitumen Design Guide for Building Owners into an eBook, making it easier for roofing professionals to view it on their smartphones or tablets.
The Modified Bitumen Design Guide, which ARMA recently updated to reflect current roofing standards and building codes, serves as a general instructional aid for the installation of modified bitumen roofing systems. The guide addresses these roofing systems and their associated components, construction techniques and innovative uses.
It also provides options for overburdens, such as solar, garden and recreational installations, that push the roofing system and the membrane beyond their primary function of providing water resistance.
“Today more than ever, roofing professionals are being called to the jobsite for their expertise and knowledge regarding low slope roofing systems,” said Reed Hitchcock, executive vice president of ARMA. “By making the Modified Bitumen Design Guide available as an eBook, ARMA is providing them the information they need in a form that is easy and convenient to access on the go.”
The Modified Bitumen Design Guide is available for $24.99 as a print-on-demand copy or $19.99 as an eBook from ARMA’s Bookstore, as well as from prominent digital platforms such as Amazon’s Kindle Store, Barnes and Nobles’ Nook, Apple’s iBookstore and more. To purchase the Modified Bitumen Design Guide, visit the bookstore.
