It is then combined with a polyester carrier to create a waterproofing material. It is the supreme form of protection against winds and rainwater. Different methods to attach this amalgam to the roof for flat roof restoration are through gas torch, cold application method, self-adhesive. You can use hot material amalgam to seal the material to the flat roof. Use of single-play membranes: Membrane roof restoration offers protection of the roof through sheet installation. Normally the sheet is installed all over the roof if required. Expensive residential places and larger commercial buildings often opt for this method of waterproofing flat roofs through ballasting, adhesion, and fastening. Adhesives to connect singly play membrane and insulation are called as polyurethane adhesives. Different kinds of fasteners are used for ply membrane roof protection and restoration. Sheets are attached to the roof through plastic fasteners. This allows them to stay in place and be placed directly on top of sheets.
