PATCHES AT T-JOINTS
A T-Joint is formed when two layers of RoofKit White Roof
Membrane form a seam that travels under, or over, a third layer
of membrane. The center of the “T" is where the middle layer
ends and the top layer bridges over the middle layer. This
T-Joint can provide an opportunity for water to seep under the
membrane. To avoid problems at this area, a patch should be
installed as follows:
Clean the membrane with Seam Primer at least four inches (4")
in all directions from the T-Joint and allow to dry.
Using the White Membrane Patch centered over the junction
of the three layers of membrane, remove paper backing and
carefully smooth in by hand to avoid wrinkling and roll with
a steel or hard roller. Use RoofKit White Membrane Caulk to
seal all edges.
FIELD SEAM AT VERTICAL CHANGE
Where a field seam makes a sharp angle change (turns up
a wall), a White Membrane Patch is to be adhered over the
seam. Follow standard installation for patches and clean the
membrane with RoofKit Seam Primer and scrub pad. Install
the patch so that the patch is centered on the seam. Finally, use
RoofKit White Membrane Caulk to seal all edges.
ROOFKIT MEMBRANE TO SHINGLE TRANSITION
When installing a RoofKit White Roofing Membrane system
with a tie-in to an existing shingle roof, remove a minimum
of three (3) courses of shingles. Install White Membrane
Coverstrip up side down at the base of the angle change and
fasten using RoofKit Plates and screws 12" on center, leaving
the paper backing on the Cover Tape. Scrub Tape Primer on
corresponding back of membrane and allow to dry. Carefully
peel the release paper off the inverted or up side down Cover
Strip. Mate the back of the membrane to the exposed white
tape as you finish installing up the wall. Adhere the mem-
brane onto the sloped roof deck. Peel the top of the mem-
brane back and apply a bead of RoofKit Water Stop between
the membrane and the deck. Nail the top of the membrane
every six inches (6") and install the shingles over the RoofKit
membrane.
