HOW TO RENOVATE A FLAT ROOF IN ELASTOMERIC
To renovate a flat elastomeric roof, start by removing the existing membrane and cleaning the surface. Inspect and repair any damaged areas of the subfloor. Apply a new coat of primer to improve the adhesion of the new membrane. Then, unroll the new elastomeric membrane and use a torch to glue it in place. Each strip of membrane should overlap the previous one to ensure an optimal seal. Use a roller to smooth the membrane and seal the edges with elastomeric sealant.
