A common application for single ply systems is to mechanically fasten the membrane to the purlins. JM RhinoPlate is an alternative attachment solution.
The advanced induction-welding technology of the JM RhinoPlate system results in a nonpenetrating membrane installation with enhanced wind resistance. The specially coated plates are attached directly to the purlins with JM Purlin Fasteners, and the membrane is induction-welded to the JM RhinoPlates. The JM RhinoPlate system eliminates lap fastening, resulting in fewer seams and reduced membrane waste.
Installation becomes less intensive and an even faster process, thanks to this tape-to-tape application system. JM EPDM R FIT gives you an innovative solution that eliminates primer and field-applied tapes in the lap. Prime the back side of the sheet and secure the RPS using either High Load Fasteners and Plates or Polymer Batten Strip. There’s no seam contamination caused by rooftop debris or foot traffic, and the result is a nonpenetrating membrane installation.
Did you know that most commercial roofs should be inspected at least twice a year? Performing regular roof inspections, maintenance, and cleaning can dramatically lower your overall facility costs, minimize the need for costly emergency roofing repairs, and prolong the life of your commercial roof. If your area has been subject to high winds, tornadoes, hail storms, or hurricanes, you would be wise to schedule an inspection immediately!
Here’s what to look for while you’re up on the roof, in the attic, or on the ground. Or, better yet, share this checklist with your commercial roofer and leave the inspection to the pros!
If your building has a flat roof, you may have already discovered that the surface is vulnerable to degradation due to weathering and standing water. Take a close look at your roof and check for granular loss, stretching, ponding, holes, punctures, or blisters. If you have a membrane roof, carefully inspect the overall condition of the membrane.
It may be wise to take a look after a gusty or rainy day. While you’re up there, check the drains for debris that may be blocking them and inspect flashings and membrane seams for obvious signs of damage and wear and tear. If your roof suffers from a fungus problem, it’s time to get it professionally cleaned; fungal growth can contribute to leaks.
Sloped roofs are typically made from asphalt shingles, tiles, slate, or metal. Make sure the shingles are in good shape, free from granular loss, curling, or cupping. If your roofing material is losing grain or bending, it may be nearing the end of its functional life. Call in the professionals for a second opinion.
If your building features a tile or slate roof, make sure it’s smooth and free from chips or cracks. We strongly recommend leaving this to the pros because tiled sloped roofs can be incredibly dangerous! If the damage is caught early enough, only the damaged materials will need to be replaced.
Metal roofs should be checked for corrosion, oil canning, popped screw heads, and loose, bent, or damaged panels. Seams should be checked for uniformity and water tightness. Exposed fasteners should be checked individually to ensure the washer seals securely around the point of penetration.
