The performance of the membrane depends, to a very large measure, on the method of laying. There is only one in general use in Canada, and it may be referred to as the shingle method.... It is simple to understand, and fast and easy to carry out. Half-lapping gives a two-ply, two-thirds lapping a three-ply, and three-quarters lapping a four-ply roofing membrane. It has the very serious disadvantage that any wrinkling of felts or lifting at the laps tends to provide a direct path to the supporting insulation or deck. This is why it is considered so essential with this method to achieve intimate contact between plies without wrinkles or fishmouths. 2, record 2, English, - four%2Dply%20membrane

Le comportement d'une toiture multicouche dépend largement des méthodes utilisées pour sa mise en œuvre. Au Canada, on utilise généralement une seule méthode, qu'on pourrait appeler la méthode de chevauchement [...] Il est aisé de comprendre son principe qui est d'exécution rapide et simple. Un chevauchement par moitiés donne une toiture multicouche à deux couches, aux deux tiers il donne trois couches et aux trois quarts on obtient quatre couches. Ce système souffre d'un désavantage sérieux, car tout pli ou relèvement des lisières de feutre offre à l'eau une voie directe vers le subjectile. C'est pourquoi il est indispensable d'obtenir un contact intime entre les feutres et d'éviter tout pli ou godet. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9tanch%C3%A9it%C3%A9%20quatre%20couches

Joints always constitute weak links in an assembly. Therefore it is good practice to locate them on top of a curb. The curb is built directly on the roof deck and is anchored to it. Along an expansion joint, the curb consists of two separate frames, one on each side of the expansion joint, with a gap for movement in between. On each side of the curb, the roofing membrane is turned up the cant, where it is lapped by a separate base flashing membrane, which extends to the top of the curb. 3, record 4, English, - curb

A built-up roofing consists of plies or layers of roofing felt bonded together on site with hot bitumen. A protective surface coating of gravel or slag is sometimes embedded in a heavy top coating of hot bitumen. It is laid down to conform to the roof deck, and to protect all angles formed by the roof deck with projecting surfaces, and forms a single-unit flexible waterproofed membrane fastened to the deck by cementing and nailing. The simple principle on flat roofs is to turn the membrane up to form a skirting or base flashing on the vertical surfaces, making a large watertight tray. The only outlets from this tray are the roof drains to dispose of water. 3, record 5, English, - build%2Dup%20roofing

The more evident and more serious blisters are structural blisters. They occur in many forms of deformation and are not confined to the exposed surface. They are caused mainly by the expansion of trapped air and water-vapour or moisture or other gases. Air and moisture trapped within the construction tend to expand during a rise in air temperature or from the heat of the sun, and this expansion causes the plies of the roofing to separate and bulge the roof surface in a balloon effect. The blisters are spongy to the touch, and may occur between any of the layers of roofing felt, or between membrane and deck, or membrane and insulation. 3, record 6, English, - air%20pocket

Les poches d'air ou d'humidité emprisonnées entre la membrane et le substrat se dilatent sous l'effet de la chaleur soudaine du soleil et déplacent la membrane en formant de petites boursouflures. Une boursouflure n'apparaîtra que si le matériau dont est fait le substrat possède une faible perméabilité; dans ces conditions, le réchauffement de la température sous l'effet du soleil peut être trop rapide pour permettre à l'air ou à la vapeur d'eau de s'échapper par le substrat. De la pression se développe alors dans les poches d'air, ce qui peut provoquer le déplacement et l'étirement de la membrane de couverture et faire grossir les poches d'air ou boursouflures. Si la membrane subit un étirement irréversible, le rafraîchissement subséquent ne permettra pas à la poche d'air de reprendre sa dimension première et il se créera un vide partiel dans la boursouflure alors formée en partie. L'air ou la vapeur d'eau peuvent être aspirés lentement à travers le substrat et remplir la poche d'air initiale, dont la dimension augmente alors légèrement et qui est prête à déclencher, au retour du soleil, un autre cycle de développement de la boursouflure. 2, record 6, French, - poche%20d%27air

Geomembrane : The term liner applies when a geomembrane is used as an interface or a surface revetment. The term barrier is usually reserved for the cases where the geomembrane is used inside an earth mass. Geomembrane is a generic term which has been proposed to replace many terms such as : synthetic membranes, polymeric membranes, plastic liners, flexible membrane liners, impermeable membranes and impervious sheets. These terms are not appropriate because :(i) synthetic, polymeric and plastic are too restrictive;(ii) geomembranes are not always used as liners;(iii) flexible membrane is redundant; and(iv) no material is absolutely impermeable or impervious. In addition, many users for these materials habitually designate them with trade names, which adds to the terminology confusion. Geomembranes should not be confused with other similar membranes used for such applications as single-ply roofing, floating covers and air supported roof. Also, geomembranes should not be confused with geotextiles [which are permeable by construction]. 2, record 8, English, - geomembrane

Most vinyl roofing membranes are sealed using hot air, which can be compared to welding metal. The process joins two rolls of membranes at the overlap areas(without using another dissimilar material) to create one monolithic layer that covers the entire roof.

ROOF technology allows old roof membrane to be renewed without removal. ROOF technology is based upon a thermochemical treatment of bitumen roof coating.

A green roof is a green space created by adding layers of growing medium and plants on top of a traditional roofing system... The layers of a contemporary green roof system, from the top down, include : the plants, often specially selected for particular applications; an engineered growing medium, which may not include soil; a landscape or filter cloth to contain the roots and the growing medium, while allowing for water penetration; a specialized drainage layer, sometimes with built-in water reservoirs; the waterproofing/roofing membrane, with an integral root repellent, and the roof structure, with traditional insulation either above or below. 3, record 20, English, - green%20roof

A study of a number of roofs in which membrane shrinkage had been observed revealed that movement had taken place at one of two planes : at the membrane-insulation interface or at the insulation-deck interface. In certain cases both appeared to have been involved. Examples of the first type consisted of installations where coated base sheets had been placed dry(without asphalt) over polystyrene insulation without adhering. Movement at the insulation-deck interface resulted from improper attachment of the roofing to the deck because of lack of nailing to wooden decks or inadequate adhesion to most others. 3, record 23, English, - coated%20base%20sheet

Une étude d'un certain nombre de toits dont l'étanchéité avait subi un rétrécissement a révélé que les déplacements s'étaient produits dans l'un des deux plans suivants : à la surface de contact étanchéité - isolant ou au contact isolant - platelage. Dans quelques cas, le déplacement s'était produit dans les deux plans à la fois. Le premier type de déplacement se retrouvait, entre autres, dans les toitures où la feuille de base enduite de 33 lb avait été posée à sec (sans asphalte) sur un isolant en polystyrène. Les déplacements à la surface de contact de l'isolant et du platelage étaient dus à une mauvaise fixation de la couverture au platelage, par absence de clouage dans le cas des platelages en bois, par adhérence insuffisante dans les autres cas. 2, record 23, French, - feuille%20de%20base%20enduite
