16' Sure-Weld Mechanically Fastened TPO Sell Sheet
A mechanically fastened 16' Sure-Weld TPO system is unique and differs from traditional mechanically fastened installations. Due to the width of the sheet, a single row of plates and fasteners in the seam area is insufficient to distribute the wind load. To overcome this challenge, an additional row of plates and fasteners must be added midway between the mechanically attached plates and fasteners. Rather than pierce the sheet with fasteners - which would necessitate the addition of a welded cover strip, negating the advantage of fewer seams in wider sheets - an alternative is to utilize induction-welded plates and fasteners. This method provides the necessary strength to the installation while preserving the seam reduction benefits of using 16-foot sheets.
