TPO roofing apparatus, systems, and methods

摘要

The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to TPO roofing apparatus, systems, and methods. For example, a method may include applying profiles to a substrate before applying a TPO membrane to the substrate. For example, an installation method may comprise, in some embodiments, laying out the spacing for one or more roof profiles on a substrate (e.g., a roof deck), attaching the one or more profiles to the substrate, applying a membrane (e.g., a self-adhesive TPO membrane) to the substrate between the profiles, and/or sealing the edges of the membrane to the profiles.

主权项

1. A TPO membrane roof system, consisting of:
a substrate; a first profile having a first profile base and a first profile body fixed above the first profile base, wherein the first profile is fastened to the substrate; a second profile having a second profile base and a second profile body fixed above the second profile base, wherein the second profile is fastened to the substrate parallel or substantially parallel to the first profile and spaced apart from the first profile by spacing(s); and a TPO membrane adhered to the substrate between the first and second profiles, wherein the TPO membrane has sufficient width to at least partly overlap the first profile base and the second profile base and form a TPO membrane—first profile seam and a TPO membrane—second profile seam, wherein the TPO membrane—first profile seam adheres the TPO membrane to the first profile base and the TPO membrane—second profile seam adheres the TPO membrane to the second profile base, wherein the TPO membrane—first profile seam is adhered to the first profile base, and wherein the TPO membrane—second profile seam is adhered to the second profile base.
