Roof Coverings

Postby Wild Bill » Tue Oct 20, 2009 8:20 pm

I am wondering what to use for my water tight roof. I have an addition on my home with a flat roof and when I had the old black rubber removed they put down a white vinal materal similar to flooring, Has anyone ever used any vinal type of roofing materals glued down? Shrinkage problems? I am not sure what I want to do. It comes in a 10 foot wide roll and is about 1/8 thick and very bendable. Any suggestions from the old veteran builders would be great!!! Thanks Bill

Bill , I used FRP , it has been on now for 4 years with no problems, no oil canning, yellowing,chalking,chipping or break down. It still shines after a washing. I find it helps keep the temp down in the sun. It is 1/8 inch thick & very easy to work with. It is very easy to bend & cut. Look in my album & see. Good luck!!
