9 56 5 | Page Firestone Attachment Guide November 29, 2021 Introduction The purpose of this Guide is to reinforce installation techniques. The following Guide is a supplement to be used in conjunction with the other technical information located on the Firestone Building Products website. Reference to the specific Design Guide , Quick Specifications, Application Guide , Details, Technical Information Sheets (TIS), and other Specifications is necessary to ensure that the finished roof system is installed in compliance with Firestone requirements. The following document outlines the required Attachment rates and conditions that Firestone Building Products looks for to issue a warranty.

10 When the project requires specific codes and/or uplifts to be met the Attachment rates below may not be appropriate. Review of the specific project conditions and specifications should be completed, and all pertinent information must be provided to Firestone Building Products prior to the project being bid or installed. Failure to do so may result in required changes to the bids, products used, installation and/or possible denial of warranty coverage. Not all conditions are covered in this document. Please contact your Firestone Sales Representative or your Regional Building System Advisor for conditions or information not found in this document. Due to unknown variables associated with each building structure, Firestone suggests a licensed engineer to verify all Attachment rates are appropriate for the specific project requirements.
