Which of the following serves as a weatherproofing component in single-ply slope roof membranes?

  1. Concrete panels.

  2. Metal frames.

  3. Thermoset or thermoplastic membranes.

  4. Wooden beams.

The correct answer is: Thermoset or thermoplastic membranes.

The correct answer emphasizes the role of thermoset or thermoplastic membranes in providing weatherproofing for single-ply slope roof systems. These membranes are specifically designed to create a waterproof barrier that protects the building against the elements, such as rain, snow, and UV radiation. Their flexibility and durability make them ideal for a variety of roofing applications, ensuring long-lasting performance in various weather conditions. Concrete panels, metal frames, and wooden beams do not serve the same purpose as these membranes. While they may be structural components of a roofing system, they do not provide the necessary waterproofing characteristics required in single-ply systems. The integrity and longevity of the roof come primarily from the thermoset or thermoplastic materials that are engineered to adhere tightly and maintain a seal against water intrusion.
