Default Flat roofs, glue or mechanically fasten?

This one is definitely not glued down.

How is your roof mechanically fastened?? Rubber roofs get glued down,
not stretched and fastened. More information and maybe a photo if you
could.


You have a real oddball there, Mike. Typically flat roofs are done in
bitumen (torch-down), EPDM (rubber), or tar & gravel. Rubber roofs
typically have a service life of around 40 years, glued down, in all
sorts of weather. Temperatures should not be an issue, but uplift can
be, depending on the size of the roof.
