Similar to mechanically fastened roof systems the rolls in a fully adhered roof system are bonded together based on the roof system type.
Fully adhered roll roofing.
For example in a fully adhered epdm roof system after the first roll is glued down the second roll of membrane is rolled out next to the first roll.
There is also self adhering version.
The membranes are then heat welded together using a hot air gun to create a watertight seal.
Roofs that are fully adhered are glued directly to the insulation below.
Fully adhered roof attachments are glued directly to the insulation layer below it.
The weatherbond epdm fully adhered system will adhere to wood metal plastic glass fi berglass rubber m asonry brick smooth surface built up roofs non granular roll roofi ng non granular half lap roofi ng painted surfaces wood fi berboard lightweight concrete and polyisocyanurate.
Modified bitumen is approved for flat roofs with minimal slope but roll roofing is not viable below a 2 12.
The insulation boards both insulate and secure the roof to the metal deck.
This requires the 4 x8 insulation boards to serve the dual role of insulating and securing the roof to the metal deck which requires far more screws.
This method is more expensive slower and can lead to additional challenges because large quantities.
It is fully adhered with a cold adhesive spread over the underlayment or secured by heating in place with a propane torch.
The firestone epdm fully adhered system is a lightweight system with outstanding design flexibility it is suitable for contoured roofs roofs with irregular shape and any roof with limited load bearing capacity provided the substrate is compatible with firestone contact adhesives and provides sufficient adhesion.
Your roofing surface will be completely flat and waterproof with no gaps.
