Membrane roofing

A foam roofing underlayment is provided with a reinforcement membrane having an array of fastener elements for engaging fastener elements on a flexible roof membrane. The underlayment is formed by molding foam between the reinforcement membrane and a carrier membrane. The underlayment in secured to the roof using washers having fastener elements for engaging the fastener elements of the flexible roof membrane. An anti-peel flap with fastener elements is provided around the periphery of the washers. A slip sheet is used between the underlayment and the flexible roof membrane to permit accurate positioning of the flexible roof membrane prior to engagement of the fastener elements. The interstices between the fastener elements provide lateral moisture paths to vents in the flexible roof membrane.

Polypropylene-based sheet materials and methods for making the same

Polypropylene-based sheet materials such as a polypropylene-based foam sheet material and a multilayered sheet material including the polypropylene-based foam as a layer are disclosed. The multilayered sheet material may include the polypropylene-based foam layer sandwiched between and adhered to outer polypropylene-based polymer films to provide a multilayered sheet material. The polypropylene-based foam sheet and multilayered sheet material including the polypropylene-based foam as a layer may be used in the production of printed products such as sign panels.
