What is the cause of bridging that has been seen in the past at angle changes in some EPDM loose-laid applications?

0

Some membrane bridging has been observed in the past in some loose-laid ballasted membrane assemblies. The bridging was not seen in adhered or mechanically-fastened applications where the membrane is adhered or secured in place. The cause of this bridging relates to membrane movement experienced in ballasted roofing systems and insufficient securement in the angle change at the base of parapets. This phenomenon was not seen in every ballasted loose-laid assembly but only some (mostly in colder regions) where improper securement is present.
