A roof cover of a building under construction, said roof cover comprising:
- a heat shrinkable film stretched over the roof framing of said building under construction, said heat shrinkable film brought into conformity with said roof framing through application of heat.
A method of covering a roof of a building with a polymer film of material, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first and a second sheet of the polymer film side by side on a supporting surface,
- applying spaced-apart strips of double-sided adhesive tape to a surface of the first sheet,
- turning over the first sheet to place it over the second sheet such that the spaced-apart strips of adhesive tape define an overlap of the first and second sheets,
- repeating this process to add further sheets to cover a desired area of the roof.
A method of applying a waterproof film of polymer material to a surface of a roof, the method including the steps of:
- determining location of perimeter edges of a first sheet of polymer material on the surface of the roof,
- applying strips of adhesive along the perimeter edges,
- aligning the first sheet of polymer material with the strips of adhesive and applying the sheet to the adhesive,
- determining perimeter edges of an adjoining second sheet of polymer material and applying strips of adhesive along the perimeter edges of the adjoining second sheet to the roof surface overlapping with the first sheet,
- aligning the adjoining second sheet with the strips of adhesive and applying the adjoining second sheet to the adhesive,
- heat welding the second sheet to the first sheet along the overlap,
- repeating the above steps to cover an area of the roof surface with a number of additional sheets.
