Abstract
A building membrane having a generally planar core having a top surface and a bottom surface, a polymeric back coat positioned below the bottom surface of the core; a polymeric face coat positioned above the top surface of the core; an adhesive base on at least a portion of the back coat adapted for adhering the building membrane to a building substrate.
Claims25
A building membrane comprising:
- a generally planar core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a polymeric back coat positioned below the bottom surface of the core;
- a polymeric face coat positioned above the top surface of the core;
- an adhesive base on at least a portion of the back coat adapted for adhering the building membrane to a building substrate;
- and
- an adhesive coat planarly encompassing the core, at least partially encapsulating the core, at least partially penetrating the core, said adhesive coat adhering the back coat to the bottom surface of the core and the face coat to the top surface of the core.
A building membrane comprising:
- a generally planar core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a polymeric back coat positioned below the bottom surface of the core;
- a polymeric face coat positioned above the top surface of the core;
- an adhesive base on at least a portion of the back coat adapted for adhering the building membrane to a building substrate, wherein the building membrane is at least partially translucent.
A building membrane comprising:
- a generally planar fabric core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a polymeric back coat positioned below the bottom surface of the fabric core and adhered to the fabric core by an adhesive coat;
- a polymeric face coat positioned above the top surface of the fabric core and adhered to the fabric core by the adhesive coat;
- the adhesive coat planarly encompassing the core, at least partially encapsulating the core, and at least partially penetrating the core;
- a polymeric top coat positioned above the face coat;
- and
- a heat-activated adhesive base on at least a portion of the back coat and adapted for adhering the roofing membrane to a building substrate.
A method for creating a final roof assembly said method comprising adhering a building membrane to a roofing substrate and, without removing said membrane, affixing one or more additional roofing elements to the roofing substrate on top of the roofing membrane to form a final roof assembly, wherein the building membrane comprises:
- a generally planar core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a polymeric back coat positioned below the bottom surface of the core;
- a polymeric face coat positioned above the top surface of the core;
- and
- an adhesive base on at least a portion of the back coat opposite the core and adapted for adhering the building membrane to a roofing substrate.
