[0019] The following definitions are used throughout this application. Where the definition of a term departs from the commonly used meaning of that term, the explicitly included definition is intended to control.

[0020] The term “construction materials” refers to materials typically used in construction such as wood, brick, concrete, metal, insulation materials, plaster, plasterboard, etc.

[0021] The term “elements” refers to rain, wind, water, ice, snow, sun, etc.

[0022] The term “building structure” refers to any building, portion of a building or other structure made of construction materials that is exposed to the elements. Examples of building structures include roofs, building walls, free standing walls, sheds, chimneys, exposed pipes, culverts, above-ground or underground tunnels, etc.

[0023] The term “weatherproofing” has its conventional meaning, i.e., protecting building structures such as roofs, chimneys, walls, etc., from the elements.

[0024] The term “majority of a mem...

Abstract

A roofing system in which a thermoplastic roofing membrane is affixed to a roof deck can be finished by a method in which two or more types of roofing peripherals are provided to the roof deck. Each of the peripherals includes adhesive on at least some portion thereof, and the adhesive is protected by a release liner. The release liner is removed from each of the peripherals, and the peripherals are affixed to the roofing system.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 775,206, filed 11 Feb. 2004 and presently pending, which claims the benefit of U.S. provisional applications 60 / 446,277 and 60 / 486,283, both filed 11 Feb. 2003; the entire disclosures of each of the foregoing are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0002] The present invention relates generally to covering systems for building structures. [0003] Thermoplastic covering membranes of a covering system for building structures are typically installed using some combination of mechanical fasteners (e.g., screw and plate combinations which hold roofing membranes to the roof deck), adhesives applied on-site to the covering membrane and / or the building structure to be covered, and hot air. The installation of conventional roofing systems can be quite expensive, even for professional installers. [0004] Roofing peripherals, such as pipe boots, walkway pads and flashi...
