Most PVC Roof systems are installed by two methods, Fully Adhered and Mechanically Fastened. A fully adhered installation is using a glue or an adhesive to attach the PVC to the decking, with the overlapping seams welded with a heat gun. A mechanically fastened system is installed by using screws and plates to attach the PVC to the roof deck, also with the overlapping seams welded with a heat gun or walk welder. In most cases a mechanically fastened roof is the safest and most common method of installation. A roof that has a concrete deck or wants to eliminate any wrinkles or billowing of material will opt for a fully adhered application. These same methods apply to TPO roofs as well.
