<div dir="ltr">I don't know a whole lot about commercial roofing, but having watched several go on the main stage and auditorium areas at the university over the years, I might suggest one comprised of 4-6" foam or mineral wool sections that taper towards the roof drains followed by a glued down elastomeric sheet material. There is lots of research out there on line, but I would get a good roofing consultant - the a potential installer - to give you better ideas for the amount of funding you have. I would have concerns about sound issues with only 2" of foam. Even with as much as 6" in some areas of ours, you can definitely hear heavy rainfall.<div>Steve Rees</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Stephen E.
