All Credits: Adhesives in Single Ply Roofs  

A roof is more than the surface that keeps the water out of buildings. Roof systems do much more than that. Roof systems are a complex part of the building enclosure with many functions and components. Holding them all together and enabling key roof system performance attributes are adhesives. This presentation will discuss adhesive uses in single-ply roof systems, including distinguishing between adhesive types and different applications of adhesives in roof systems. We will also explore when specifying adhesives in roof systems can contribute to meeting project design goals, or when they are part of the contractor’s means and methods. When exploring the key performance contributions of adhesives in single-ply roof systems, we will look at the impacts on energy efficiency, wind design, resilience, and project schedule/budget constraints. To provide context, we’ll review several project examples to demonstrate the impact of specifying adhesives as part of the single-ply roof system.
