H.C. Anderson Roofing Company is proud to highlight our recent PVC roof replacement in Belvidere, Illinois. The building is used as a warehouse and operations center for a private company. The owners asked us to provide an estimate for the replacement since they were aware of the roof’s advanced age, and we were grateful to be awarded the contract.
Project Overview
For this project, we were tasked with replacing over 6,000 square feet of existing roof with Duro-Tuff PVC Roofing. Here are the steps we followed to complete the projects.
- Removal of Existing Roof Materials: The project began with the removal of the old roofing materials down to the concrete deck layer.
- Repair Deck Sheeting: In areas where the existing deck sheeting was no longer safe, we replaced it with 4×4 sheets of 1/4″ DensDeck.
- Installation of Insulation Layers: After inspecting the deck, we installed two layers of 2.6-inch insulation, per the manufacturer’s specifications. This not only enhanced the building’s energy efficiency but also provided a smooth surface for the new membrane to adhere to.
- Membrane Roof Installation: With the insulation in place, we installed the 50 mil Duro-Tuff membrane using the Rhino-Bond attachment method. The Rhino-Bond system also reduces the need for fasteners, creating fewer points of entry for water and improving the roof’s overall performance.
- Membrane Termination and Flashing: To ensure maximum protection against water intrusion, we ran the membrane up and over the parapet wall, terminating it with a 1 ¾” Fascia Bar featuring a 9” face. This method of termination ensures a secure seal along the roof’s edges. Additionally, all roofing penetrations, such as vents and HVAC systems, were flashed according to manufacturer specifications, providing extra waterproofing in these vulnerable areas.
- Inspection and Warranty: After the installation was complete, a representative from the manufacturer inspected the project to make sure it complied with warranty standards. This particular project included a 15-year manufacturer’s NDL labor and material warranty.
