Perimeter Enhancement Requirements Mechanically Attached System
With 55-MPH Wind Speed Coverage
Limitations
Contact Mule-Hide for all projects requiring specific Factory Mutual or Building Code compliance such as Florida Product Approval, Texas Department of Insurance, etc.
For buildings 100 ft. or less in height, located in urban, rural or suburban exposure areas. Not applicable for coastal or high wind areas. Maximum design wind speed of 100-MPH.
Building Height Minimum Perimeter
0 - 34 ft 1 Perimeter sheet (1)(2)
1 Perimeter enhancement width (3)
35 – 100 ft 2 Perimeter sheets (1)(2) (wind zones up to 100 mph)
2 Perimeter Enhancement Widths (2) (wind zones up to 100 mph)
Higher than 100 ft. or higher wind zones. Contact Mule-Hide Tech. Dept.
Projects in exposure D category (coastal areas)
Contact Mule-Hide Tech. Dept.
Roof edges along interior walls or roof edges with 8 ft. or higher walls. (Walls extend above the roof level)
No perimeter enhancement required
8
FM Approval
For buildings where FM approved securement is required and for buildings that do not meet the “Limitations” stated above.
Install perimeter enhancements throughout the corner/perimeter areas of the roof. The width of these areas is determined by the lesser of the following two calculations:
a. 0.1 x the building width = or b. 0.4 x the building height =
In no event shall the perimeter/corners be less than 4ft.
Notes:1. When using Mule-Hide standard sheet widths:
• 8’ wide field sheets use 9” RMS no less than 4’ no larger than 4’9”• 10’ wide field sheets use 9” RMS no less than 5’ no more than 6’
2. If the contractor elects to cut perimeter sheets from scrap membrane, the perimeter sheet dimension MUST be as follows:• 8’ wide field sheet – no less than 4’ wide to no larger than 4’-9” wide
perimeter sheet• 10’ wide field sheet – no less than 5’ wide to no more than 6’ wide
perimeter sheet c.3. Perimeter enhancement widths are used when the 10” RUSS and/or plates/
fasteners through the membrane methods are utilized for perimeters.
