The top layer of a built-up roof that protects everything underneath from sun, rain, and weather.
The top layer or final ply of a built-up or modified bitumen roofing system, providing the weather-resistant surface exposed to the elements. Cap sheets are typically mineral-surfaced (granule-coated) to reflect UV radiation and protect the underlying bitumen layers from weathering. In modified bitumen systems, the cap sheet is a reinforced polymer-modified membrane.
The cap sheet on the low-slope roof was granule-surfaced in tan to match the building color scheme and reflect solar heat.
