Installing Polymat Under Surface Gas Pipes | Roofing it Right with Dave & Wally by GAF

In our Mod-Bit recover project, Dave and Wally show how to address a detail of gas pipes running across the surface of the roof deck. In this example, they are using polymat under the pipes and blocks as a separator between the existing mod-bit roof and smooth TPO membrane.

GAF’s Roofing It Right series “Mod-Bit Recover” features Dave & Wally walking us start to finish through a project to recover an existing Mod-Bit system with several options for smooth and fleece-back TPO, separation layers, mechanically attached, heat induction welding and adhered fastening, and a range of options for addressing flashing details.
