A system and method for covering at least a portion of a roof with an impermeable membrane is provided. The method includes placing a strip of the impermeable membrane over a subset of the portion of the roof intended to be covered, cutting a length of the strip to accommodate a size of the portion of the roof intended to be covered, fastening a flexible, elongated band of material to the end of the strip using a plurality of first fasteners, rolling the band of material at least one half turn in the end of the strip, attaching the band of material that was rolled in the end of the strip to a fascia of eaves of the roof using a plurality of second fasteners, and repeating the steps above until the portion of the roof is covered in the impermeable membrane.

The invention provides a generally horizontal roof deck having a corner and two parapet walls meeting at the corner. A roofing membrane has a major portion adhered to the roof deck and a side portion adhered to the first parapet wall and an end portion adhered to the second parapet wall. A bead of caulk is located between the side portion and the end portion and a respective parapet wall. Termination bars are affixed to the each of the parapet walls by axially driven pins that capture the termination bars on top of the respective side or end portions along their upper edges. Also disclosed is a method for constructing a roof deck using termination bars and axially driven pins that do not require predrilled holes.

An arrangement for fastening first and second components with automatic compensation in spacing between the components has a base element with first and second axial ends and a holding structure for holding the base element in an opening of the first component. An adjusting unit screwable into the base element has a driver unit. A fastening screw is connectable to the adjusting unit via the driver unit, such that, when the fastening screw is rotated, the adjusting unit can be rotated conjointly and moved into contact with the second component. The holding structure has a holding segment arranged such that, by the holding segment, an angle between the first and second component can be compensated such that, when the adjusting unit makes contact with the second component, a longitudinal axis of the fastening arrangement runs perpendicular to a plane of the second component.

A system and method for temporary protection of a damaged roof is provided. The method includes draping a strip of the impermeable membrane over the roof, wherein the end of the strip overhangs a fascia of eaves of the roof, placing a piece of construction material in a horizontal position under the end of the strip, cutting the end of the strip as follows: a horizontal cut and two vertical cuts of the construction material, such that a resulting shape of the end of the strip is substantially commensurate with the construction material, fastening the construction material to the end of the strip, rolling the construction material at least one full turn in the end of the strip, attaching the construction material to the fascia of the eaves of the roof, and repeating the steps above until the entire roof is covered in the impermeable membrane.

Also disclosed is a method for constructing a roof deck using termination bars and axially driven pins that do not require predrilled holes.

The present disclosure relates generally to roofing structures, for example, suitable for covering houses and other structures. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing structure including a decking layer, a base layer, a cap layer, and a plurality of rails disposed over the cap layer. The base layer includes a plurality of strips that form seams including a first base layer seam. The cap layer also includes a plurality of strips that form seams including a first cap layer seam that is spaced from the first base layer seam. The rails include a first rail that is aligned with the first base layer seam and a second rail that is aligned with the first cap layer seam.

A system and method for temporary protection of a damaged roof is provided. The method includes draping a strip of an impermeable membrane over the roof, wherein the end of the strip overhangs the eaves of the roof, placing a rigid, elongated piece of construction material under the end of the strip that overhangs the eaves of the roof, such that the construction material is placed below the eaves of the roof, cutting the end of the strip such that it is coextensive with a length of the construction material and cutting the end of the strip below the construction material, fastening the construction material to the end of the strip, rolling the construction material at least one full turn in the end of the strip, attaching the construction material to the eaves of the roof, and repeating the steps above until the roof is covered in the impermeable membrane.

A vent assisted system for reroofing a built up roof surface or a single ply membrane roof covering including an augmented design incorporating mechanical fasteners and an adhesive for attaching strips of single ply membrane or fleece backed single ply membrane in the turbulent vortex areas along the perimeter of a deck. Coupled with roof vents for equalizing the pressure under loose laid sheets of single ply membrane or fleece backed single ply membrane in the field-of-roof area bordering the turbulent wind vortex areas to reduce membrane stress and resist wind uplift pressures during high wind events.

A system and method of anchoring a roofing membrane to a vertical wall along the periphery of a flat roof. The roof membrane is partially extended up any peripheral wall that abuts the flat roof. A mounting plate is affixed to the peripheral wall with mechanical fasteners. A portion of the roofing membrane becomes locked between the mounting plate and the peripheral wall. A tubular structure is provided on the mounting plate that faces away from the roofing membrane. A cover plate is provided. The cover plate is mounted to the tubular structure on the mounting plate. The cover plate covers and protects the mounting plate and the edge of the roofing membrane under the mounting plate. The cover plate is attached with mechanical fasteners. The tubular structure provides room for the mechanical fasteners to terminate without compromising the mounting plate that is pressed against the roofing membrane.
