I will be specifying a single ply roof membrane (Solar Brite by Commercial Innovations / Garland Roofing). Solar Brite is KEE type roofing (Keytone Ethylene Ester) which is much like a PVC membrane roofing in its characteristic and appearance, however its chemical characteristics are an improvement over traditional PVC.
To achieve my monolithic roof slope I plan on a combination of stepped roof structure and tapered polyisocyanurate insulation. All roofing seams will be fully heat welded, with the membrane fully adhered to the polyiso with a water based (i.e. environmentally friendly) bonding adhesive. The insulation will be mechanically fastened to the roof deck. Product specifications will also include pre-molded pipe flashings for roof penetrations, and pre-molded 90 degree inside and outside corners.
I am also thrilled to announce a new partnership for the Little Woods house that will help make the above possible. Garland Roofing (along with their subsidiary Commercial Innovations), and their Dayton territory manager Todd Poeppelmeier, is now on the team. Todd has been a tremendous resource to my commercial clients, and his experience and professionalism will be a terrific asset to this project.
