A membrane plate for attaching a lower membrane and an adjacent upper membrane overlapping the lower membrane to a roof is provided where the membrane plate includes a plate body having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface adapted to seat against the upper membrane, the bottom surface adapted to seat against the lower membrane, the top surface and the bottom surface separated by at least one wall generally perpendicular to the top surface and the bottom surface, the plate body having a generally centrally located aperture to permit a fastening device to pass through for securing the membrane plate and the membrane to the roof The membrane plate further includes holes in the plate body at least partially located in the generally perpendicular wall to permit air to flow between the top surface to bottom surface of the plate, whereby the holes permits a bubble of air created during the securing of the upper membrane to the lower membranes to the roof by an adhesive, to dissipate through the membrane plate and through the lower membrane via a hole in the lower membrane created by the fastening device.
