When an old leaky roof on the National Fire Protection Association's Quincy, Mass., headquarters was past its service life, a vinyl roofing system from Sarnafil Inc. in nearby Canton was selected as the replacement solution. Sarnafil's Class A-rated roof assembly, comprised of insulation, attachments and accessories and the vinyl membrane itself, covers 32,000 square feet. The eight-story building is where the fire codes and standards affecting virtually every building, process, service, design, and installation in society today are developed. A vinyl roofing system's inherent fire resistance was an important design consideration for all involved. (More information is at
