Construction and Materials
The GenTite roofing system is engineered for durability and ease of application, designed for a variety of roofing needs. Its construction centers around a robust, reinforced polyester fabric that forms the core of the system. This fabric is specifically chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to tearing, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable roof.
The primary material applied over the polyester fabric is a highly flexible, single-ply thermoplastic membrane. This membrane is formulated for exceptional weatherability, offering excellent resistance to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and corrosive elements. It is also designed to accommodate structural movement without compromising its integrity.
Key components and materials include:
- Reinforced Polyester Fabric: The foundational element, providing structural integrity and dimensional stability.
- Thermoplastic Membrane: The outer weatherproofing layer, offering protection against the elements and UV degradation.
- Adhesive System: A specialized adhesive is used to securely bond the membrane to the substrate and to seal seams, creating a monolithic, watertight surface.
- Fasteners and Flashing: Where required, specialized fasteners and flashing materials are utilized to ensure secure attachment and proper integration with roof details, such as edges, penetrations, and transitions. These are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials to match the longevity of the membrane.
The construction process involves preparing the roof deck, applying the adhesive, and then rolling out the membrane, ensuring proper overlap and seam sealing. This method allows for a continuous waterproofing barrier that is resistant to wind uplift and water penetration. The system is designed to be lightweight, reducing the load on the building structure.
