SPECIFY ROOFS TO MEET
SERVICE CONDITIONS
Tar and Gravel ....... Asbestos or Asphalt ..... Mineral or Smooth Surfaced . . A
ROOF which gives satisfactory, dependable service on a steep pitch area may fail entirely when applied on a dead level deck. A type of built-up roof which gives excellent service in Michigan may prove wholly unsuitable for an identical building in Alabama, Texas or the Orient.
Special care should be exercised in specifying Built­Up Roofs to meet the various service conditions. The two most important factors to be considered are climatic conditions and deck variations.
Only a manufacturer who can furnish Built-Up Roofs of every type can offer unbiased recommendations. Only a roof which is designed for specific conditions can be expected to give the maximum service at the minimum cost. Fifty-eight years of practical roofing experience are back of Carey Built-Up Roofs. They are applied according to rigid specifications by a nation-wide corps of roofing experts, and are bonded for ten or twenty years.
The Carey Specification Book tells exactly what roof to use under given conditions. A copy will be mailed on request.
