Abstract: A vent assisted system for reroofing a built up roof surface or a single ply membrane roof covering including an augmented design incorporating mechanical fasteners and an adhesive for attaching strips of single ply membrane or fleece backed single ply membrane in the turbulent vortex areas along the perimeter of a deck. Coupled with roof vents for equalizing the pressure under loose laid sheets of single ply membrane or fleece backed single ply membrane in the field-of-roof area bordering the turbulent wind vortex areas to reduce membrane stress and resist wind uplift pressures during high wind events.

Abstract: A vent assisted single-ply roof system including an augmented design that incorporates mechanical fasteners, insulation bonding adhesives and membrane bonding adhesives in the turbulent wind vortex areas along the perimeter of the deck as determined by ASCE 7 calculations. Coupled with roof vents for equalizing the pressure under a loose laid membrane in the field-of-roof area outside the turbulent wind vortex areas to reduce membrane stress and resist wind uplift pressures during high wind events.
