  • In some photos, I notice that the surface of Dryseal undulates. Is this a concern?

    In some photos, I notice that the surface of Dryseal undulates. Is this a concern?

    Tom-April 24th, 2023-

    No. Because the system is mechanically fixed to accommodate differentials of expansion and contraction between the roof covering, insulation and structure, the GRP sheet is allowed to expand and contract according to the exterior temperature. Typically, this undulation will be most evident when the roof
