Rubber Roofing
Rubber roofing is a newer roofing system about which not that many roofers are super knowledgeable about. Thus, making it a specialty area in the roofing community. There are some reasons behind that, one of which is the fact that rubber is a temperamental material that can go very wrong very quickly in the wrong hands. Due to the temperature that is required to create the roof, it can be dangerous to work with. Which means it requires the use of specific PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that is kept in excellent condition. When rubber is heated too much it will burn through the other materials used to help create the rubber roof. If it is not heated enough the result will be lump and it will be difficult to ensure the roof will not leak. It is the Goldie locks effect; the perfect temperature created the right consistency for the rubber to be poured and set.
Caulking
It has been proven that different caulking interacts with rubber differently. This is due to the chemicals in each product, they react when they are brought together. Now rubber roof caulking has a reaction to rubber that we want it to have. It seals the area where it is placed with no issues. However, a different caulking can damage the rubber or just simply not adhere to it. This will cause other problems such as leaks, pest issues and similar problems. Pockets of space in a roof are created any time the material is pierced, caulking seals that for the material and makes it waterproof. Thus, ensuring nothing can use that pocket as a means of entry.
