Installation Instructions

GLOSSARY

BRIDGING: Occurs when the membrane is unsupported at a

juncture or angle change. Moisture condensing on the bottom

of the membrane can cause further delamination. Areas where

bridging occurs should be repaired and re-flashed.

COVER STRIP: Six inch (6") wide cured white membrane

with butyl tape laminated to one side. Used when stripping in

metal edge details, repairing cuts in the field membrane.

FASTENING SCREWS AND PLATES: Used to mechani-

cally attach (fasten) the insulation board to the roof deck.

TERMINATION BAR: Extruded aluminum bar used to ter-

minate the membrane at parapet walls, chimneys, skylights,

and AC curbs. Also used to terminate membrane fascia when

no metal drip edge is used. The proper fastener should be

installed in every hole and a one-quarter inch (1/4") space

maintained between bars. (Also available in Decorative white

version.)

FISHMOUTH: A wrinkle that is formed when an increas-

ing amount of membrane is forced onto an area too small

to accommodate the material. When the wrinkle ends at the

edge of the material, a conical opening is formed called a

Fishmouth. Wrinkles and Fishmouths in seams are not accept-

able. They must be removed and flashed in.

FLASHED OFF: Allowing the solvents in the adhesives or

primer to evaporate, leaving the material in a tacky, not wet or

stringy condition, before mating the two surfaces together. If

the proper Flash Off time is not allowed, blisters will form in

the membrane. Blisters will not harm the membrane and over

time, will usually disappear

WHITE MEMBRANE WATER BASED BONDING

ADHESIVE (WMWB): Used to adhere the field membrane

to the substrate. It should be thoroughly stirred before using

and is white in color. It can be applied in two sided or single

sided applications. Note: All adhesives should be applied at

temperatures above 40

F. DO NOT ALLOW ADHESIVE

TO FREEZE.

METAL EDGE DETAIL: Used to create a finished appear-

ance and prevent water from running down the surface of

fascias and walls. The Metal Edge is made from painted alu-

minum and galvanized or painted steel. This is not a RoofKit

Product.
