FLAT ROOFING

Each of our flat-roof systems is normally applied in conjunction with a variety of insulations and vapour retarders. The insulation type is dependent on the R-value desired, the type of roof deck, the type of roof system used, the amount of traffic on the roof, and cost considerations. Insulations are installed loose-laid, with adhesives, or are fastened mechanically.

D.J. Peat flat-roof systems can be applied toward LEED points in several ways — from installation of white membranes resulting in heating and cooling cost reductions to installation of living roof systems resulting in storm-water management.

SINGLE PLY

SINGLE PLY
Single Ply roofing membranes have grown in popularity over the past 30 years due to their flexibility, relative ease of installation, and competitive price.

EPDM (Ethlyene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM roofing systems, also known as single-ply systems, are factory-fabricated, rubber-roofing membranes, which are available in several thicknesses. Primarily, they are synthetic single-layer sheets of ethylene propylene diene monomer. EPDM systems can be installed using a variety of methods, including loose-laid and ballasted, fully adhered, or mechanically attached means. EPDM membranes are known for their long-term weathering ability, and perform well even when subjected to fluctuations in temperature, ultraviolet rays, and ozone.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
This roofing system is similar to the EPDM system. However, its synthetic single-ply membrane sheets are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These membranes are available in a variety of thicknesses and colours.

TPO (ThermoPlastic Olefin)
Similar to EPDM and PVC systems, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), roofing systems combine both polypropylene (plastic) and ethylene-propylene (rubber) using state-of-the-art polymer manufacturing technology. The result is an ideal commercial roofing system that is reliable, cost effective, environmentally friendly and easy to install. Systems can be installed fully adhered or mechanically fastened. A complete line of accessories, sealants and adhesives is also available.

MODIFIED BITUMEN

This type of roof system uses modified bitumen membranes, which are factory-rolled products with rubberized or polymeric asphalt applied to one side at the factory. It can be installed by mopping on hot asphalt to adhere the membrane to the roof or, more commonly, by using a propane torch to heat the underside of the coating. Melting to a near-liquid, the membrane is then rolled onto the roof in a continuous operation.

BUILT-UP ROOFING

Built-up roofing, which has been used for almost 150 years, is one of the oldest and most durable roofing systems. The system consists of multiple plies of reinforcing felts laid shingle fashion into continuous moppings of hot asphalt or cold adhesives. The system is then covered with aggregate set in an asphalt flood coat or final cold adhesive application. The plies can consist of organic membranes or glass fiber membranes.

Built-up roofs are particularly resistant to damage from wind, hail and snow. The multiple layers provide extra protection and perform well in extreme weather conditions.

DECK MEMBRANES

D.J. Peat uses DecTec®, a 100% waterproof, virtually maintenance free PVC membrane engineered for commercial and residential outdoor use. DecTec®can be used anywhere you want to eliminate rotting wood, beautify a concrete surface, reduce maintenance costs and protect your structure.

LIVING ROOFS

We can add a living roof application, also known as a green roof, to most of our roofing systems. Living roofs are an innovative yet time-honoured roofing solution that incorporates living plant materials. Living roofs also have a multitude of benefits.

Environment benefits
Living Roofs can lower the cooling load of a building by fifty to ninety percent in summer. They reduce and purify stormwater runoff significantly and also reduce smog and greenhouse gas emissions.

Economic benefits
Living Roofs can extend the life of a roof’s membrane by 30 to 50 years and decrease the need for costly repairs. Importantly, a living roof increases real estate values by adding green space.

Social benefits
Living Roofs increase living space by replacing a stark rooftop with a park-like green space. They brighten the mood by bringing foliage and flowers to a building.

LIVING WALL BIOFILTERS

LIVING WALLS

Much more than a vertical plant wall, a Nedlaw Living Wall Biofilter is in a class of its own. Most green walls are designed for simplicity and aesthetics; in contrast, a Nedlaw biofilter is a working machine. Using Nature’s own science, our amazing biofilters remove pollutants from indoor air and return clean air to the building. As a significant fresh air source, our living wall biofilters save energy by reducing the amount of outside air that needs to be heated or cooled.

D.J. Peat is proud to be a certified installer of the Nedlaw biofilter.
