Which of the following statements is true?

Roofs in low wind areas require more fasteners
Flat roofs never need adhesives
High wind areas often require more roof fasteners or adhesives
Sloped roofs do not need fasteners

The correct answer is: High wind areas often require more roof fasteners or adhesives

The statement about high wind areas often requiring more roof fasteners or adhesives is accurate because roofs in these regions are subject to greater aerodynamic forces. High winds can uplift and potentially detach roofing materials if they are not securely anchored. Therefore, to maintain structural integrity and ensure the safety and durability of the roof, additional fasteners or adhesive products are typically mandated to counteract these forces effectively. In contrast, the other statements do not hold true in the context of roofing practices. Roofs in low wind areas may require fewer fasteners due to reduced stress, and while flat roofs can utilize adhesives, they often do use them as part of a comprehensive installation method. Lastly, sloped roofs usually require fasteners to secure materials against gravity and environmental impacts.
