what about when there is not enough room for 2 inches extra coverage. for example the edge of the roof 90* drop off. My TPO roof has cracked at the roof's side edges and made some small 1" slices where its appears the plywood edge pushes up into it from below.
Weathered membrane cleaner for the prep. Whichever brand TPO you're using will typically sell it. Same for the edge sealing, there is a specific product they call "cut edge sealant" that you need to use. Wherever you bought the TPO from should sell both.
I have a roof in CT that looks flat to the eye and is a black 10 ft seams wide material covered with a layer of pea sized rocks. It is completely drained after a rain in about 2 hours, and completely dry after 4-6 hours. What peel and stick product will work on this? Most contractors that have looked at the roof have no clue. I want to strip it down, replace any bad plywood than use a peel and stick application only, (no fumes allowed). Any advice from anyone is much appreciated. Thanks
Is there a limit in time to repair a pvc roof. I’ve been told that after 10 years it couldn’t be repaired anymore and the whole roof has to been renewed. Thanks.
Single-Ply roofs can typically be repaired throughout the life of the roofing system. Since Mule-Hide offers warranties up to 30-years in duration there should not be an issue with making repairs to the system. Proper cleaning and preparation will be critical to the success of the repairs.
When I do this, I put the seam tape on the flashing, then glue the flashing up to the tape. That way you don't need to trim at the bottom since the tape is already there with the proper exposure...
Will this SA BaseSheet be hard to remove from plywood deck in 10 years? How do u remove it? Should it be put over the nail base first for easier removal later?
Nothing about how to seal the seamsin the metal ? I am doing a repair right now , and every seam in the metal is leaking ! Also ,. does the metal get primer? They are doing things differently than when I went to Goodyear rubber school in Akron , in the 1980's , My supplier said the metal gets primed with the same primer as the rubber, however there is no mention of that here !
Gee commercial hack Daddy-O keep telling all what to do but never why, how else will we be as stupid as you? America Dumb Dumber and every more as stupid: Rock music these days is as bad as hippy hop.
Most likely not in the short term, but you never want water to flow downhill onto gaps, water may seep through once material breaks down over time. These rolled sheets are prone to warping over time/coming loose after years of heating/cooling
Every person used the wettle in a diferent number. Y used for unsoporter 6 or 6.5 depende the detail. And in the fill i used in 8. I feel good like that. Figured it out how you feel. Better.
I'm installing a small, 3 square SA "Liberty" roof. The base sheet was a dream and it worked perfectly. The cap sheet is sucking. I assumed that the same method would be used on the cap sheet but I was wrong. The plastic sheet did not want to pull out easily like the base. It was a combination of the weight and the interference from the overlap area, both the plastic and the slightly rough membrane. Apparently you have to flop half of the whole length over and that will be tricky. If things don't go perfectly, it will be a shit show.
@@sirjohnahayfalcon It was a new product for me and I knew it would be a gamble. I'm 70 so it may last a lifetime :). If not, I will accept the consequences.......or paint it. :)
Please don't ever hand bang tpo metal unless you're doing like 2 or 3 pieces. Also, what about corners and how to dry them in??? Or tricky little wall transitions???
Do you wrap the edges, put metal on top of tpo, and cover with am adhesive membrane because it's cheaper than tpo metal? Tpo metal seems way more practical and less labor intensive, which probably costs the same in the long run as this method does. I don't get it. Unless the home owner wants a drip edge that's a certain color?
i got a pto roof i kmow that is done wrong too they took the membrane and wrap it around my drip adge and then they attach it with a metal board to my facial bored I have A lot of air pockets It looks like a white blanket on the bed This was done like two weeks ago I don’t know what to do with the roofing company if anybody have any suggestions please let me know I wish I could post some pictures of this work done
If you are thinking long term re roofing, the first nailed down base sheet will allow the adhesive layers to be removed easily. If you stick that shit to OSB, it ain't comin off.
@@jackconnolly2665 If considering the re-roofing, how about keep the plastic sheet and not pull out from the bottom of the nail base sheet, use nails to hold the base sheet on the plywood roof. Is that working?
@@geoffyang9984 The stuff I used was far too slick with the plastic in place. It would be so slippery that you'd need 10X the nails (and nail holes) to keep it in place. When completed, the adhesive turns it into one large stuck down piece with no nail penetrations.
