Method for installing a roofing system

Abstract

A roofing system in which a thermoplastic roofing membrane is affixed to a roof deck can be finished by a method in which two or more types of roofing peripherals are provided to the roof deck. Each of the peripherals includes adhesive on at least some portion thereof, and the adhesive is protected by a release liner. The release liner is removed from each of the peripherals, and the peripherals are affixed to the roofing system.

1 . A method for finishing a roofing system where a thermoplastic roofing membrane is affixed to a roof deck, said method comprising: 
 a) providing two or more types of roofing peripherals, each of peripherals comprising adhesive on at least some portion thereof, said adhesive being protected by a release liner;    b) removing said release liner from each of said two or more roofing peripherals; and    c) affixing said roofing peripherals to said roofing system, thereby finishing said roofing system.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein one of said roofing peripherals is a pipe boot.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a flashing article.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a walkway pad.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 2  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a walkway pad.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein one of said roofing peripherals is a flashing article.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein said flashing article is semi-rigid.  
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 6  wherein said flashing article is a universal flashing.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said roof deck comprises two or more surfaces which are angled with respect to each other and at least a portion of at least one of said surfaces being covered by said thermoplastic roofing membrane.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said roof deck comprises three or more surfaces, each of which is angled with respect to the others, said universal flashing being adhered to each of said surfaces.  
   
   
       11 . A method for weatherproofing a building, comprising: 
 a) providing to said building one or more rolls of thermoplastic roofing membrane and two or more types of roofing peripherals, each roofing membrane and each of said peripherals comprising adhesive on at least some portion thereof, said adhesive being protected by a release liner;    b) removing said release liner from said roofing membrane and adhering said membrane to the roof deck of said building; and    c) removing said release liner from each of said two or more roofing peripherals and affixing said roofing peripherals to at least one of said roofing membrane and a structure of said building not covered by said membrane,    thereby waterproofing said building.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein one of said roofing peripherals is a pipe boot.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a flashing article.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a walkway pad.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12  wherein another of said roofing peripherals is a walkway pad.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein one of said roofing peripherals is a flashing article.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16  wherein said flashing article is semi-rigid.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16  wherein said flashing article is a universal flashing.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18  wherein said building comprises two or more structures which are angled with respect to each other and at least a portion of two of said structures being covered by said thermoplastic roofing membrane.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein said building comprises three or more structures, each of which is angled with respect to the others, said universal flashing being adhered to each of said structures.
