WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS WHEN DESIGNING AN EPDM ROOF IN AREAS WHERE SEAGULL ATTACK MAY BE PRESENT?
The use of reinforced membranes over a rigid substrate such as Den-Deck, high density wood fiber board and plywood provide excellent protect and both pecking and the dropping of clams to break them open. Additionally placing pavers over any of the EPDM membrane thicknesses would also provide protect as would an IRMA roof system design. Special detailing of the corners, such as double flashings are also recommended. Designers and contractors are suggested to contact the manufacture for specific detailing concerns and potential puncture resistant warranties.
