swarga Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I did an inspection today on a 1998 home that had an addition installed sometime after that. The addition has a flat roof with what appears to be a vinyl cap sheet. It is tan with small fibers embedded into it in a small diamond pattern. Photos are attached. Has anyone seen this before. Any information will be helpful. I leaving to go do a google search after I post this.

hausdok Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi Scott, Without going to look at the site, it looks like it is a fabric-reinforced PVC membrane. I see them here every once in a while, although I've never run into one that was that color. They're actually welded together with heat and are custom made off-site, using finite measurements taken from the roof. Everything, including the plumbing vents usually gets covered here and those things are stretched like a drumhead over the roof and fastened around the perimeter. Around here, they're a popular option for seniors to re-roof their manufactured homes. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Smith Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi Mike - Scott, This is definatly a type of nylon reinforced PVC single ply membrane. Comes in 5', 7', 10, 20' x 50' or 100'rolls. Can be fastened mechanically or adhered. Larger rolls are usally ballested with large round gravel.

Tiny Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 That system is a duro-last roofing product. but the details are not spec it looks like hagpog.[:-paperba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaRoofer Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Its definitly a pvc/tpo type roof. I don't believe its a durolast though. Durolast has factory seams,drain inserts(inverted boots) and one way vents. I don't see any of those on this roof. The seams on durolast also have the name molded into the factory seams.
