Roofing membranes having multiple adhesive regions and method therefor

A roof membrane system comprising:

• a first membrane positioned atop a roof, the first membrane having a distal edge that includes a first adhesive tape material on a top surface thereof, the first adhesive tape material extending along a majority of a length of the distal edge;
• a second membrane positioned atop the roof and adjacent the first membrane so that a proximal edge of the second membrane overlaps with and is bonded to the distal edge of the first membrane, the proximal edge of the second membrane including a second adhesive tape material on a bottom surface thereof, the second adhesive tape material extending along a majority of a length of the proximal edge;
• and
• a mechanical fastening component positioned between and bonded to the first adhesive tape of the first membrane and the second adhesive tape of the second membrane, the mechanical fastening component including one or more holes through which a mechanical fastener is inserted to mechanically fasten the first membrane and the second membrane atop the roof.

A roofing membrane comprising:

• a main body having:
• a top surface;
• a bottom surface positioned opposite the top surface;
• and
• four edges that define an outer periphery of the main body such that the main body has a rectangular or square profile;
• a first adhesive tape bonded to the main body and positioned toward a first edge thereof, the first adhesive tape extending along a majority of a length of the first edge;
• and
• a mechanical fastening membrane that is adhesively bonded with a top surface of the first adhesive tape, the mechanical fastening member including a plurality of holes that are each configured to receive a mechanical fastener to secure the roofing membrane to a roof surface.
