Overlap for roof membrane.

The final covering of tiles or slates will provide a secure fixing. Nail along the top edge of the membrane to hold it in place while the adhesive sets up. Place the end of the sheet according to instructions to allow the correct overlap. Roof valleys on roof valleys ensure the breather membrane is extended by a minimum of 300mm on each side measured from the centre of the valley.

Roofing felt is required to overlap 2 inches over the lower felt course. Try to ensure they are above the line at which the second length of membrane will overlap. The overlapping felt creates a secondary barrier for moisture and wicks water away from the shingles above and the sheathing below. We suggest a dip of approximately 10 15mm.

Check that this is the case adding temporary clout nails to the top of the membrane. More overlap is used at roof edges and transitions while less overlap is required across the main roof area. Based on the grace ice and water shield technology grace roof detail membrane is a flexible product that conforms tightly to common roof details such as skylights chimneys and dormer walls. If there is no ridge ventilation the breather membrane should go over the ridge and overlap each side of the ridge line by the required overlap.

Metal roofs though less appealing than shingle or tile is a more fire resistant and heat reflecting roofing option. The surface layer can be a mineral cap sheet fused to the layers below or just a final layer of asphalt mopped across the entire roof. Short for thermoplastic polyolefin tpo is a single ply roofing membrane that offers excellent performance at a cost effective price. Grace roof detail membrane is the only product available today designed specifically for waterproofing critical roof detail areas.

If your panels aren t layered properly water damage can occur. Align the roll for the correct overlap and continue removing the upper half of the release sheet. Continue up the roof laying lengths of breather membrane. Finally a surfacing is applied to provide protection and an appealing aesthetic.

Heat welded seams provide superior strength. All field sheets incorporate 6 control lines for overlap and fastener placement. The easy installation involves placing metal panels on your roof but you ll need to be mindful of metal roof overlap. Therefore a 2 inch overlap provides redundancy at the edges where the barrier is weakest.

A flat roof that had been over coated with a liquid based system which itself is breaking down a bonded overlay would not be suitable although with some preparatory works a mechanically fastened overlay system might be an option. Roll out the membrane to the end of the roof run. Lay the membrane back down and tack the top corner.
