46 Bradford St, Boston
Reading Time: 3 minutesID Flat Roof finished a flat roof replacement project at 46 Bradford St, Boston, MA 02118. We use the latest materials and methods to get the job done.
Project
Strip and replace the existing flat roof. Our team did the following:
- Remove the old roofing system
- 1” ISO insulation
- 60 mm PVC membrane
- Dumpster debris removal
- 2-day project completion
Technical
We installed 1” ISO (polyisocyanurate) insulation for its high thermal performance. ISO has a high R-value per inch, typically R-5.6 to R-6, which means significant energy savings for the building.
This insulation layer improves the building’s thermal envelope and provides a smooth surface for the PVC membrane.PVC MembraneThe 60 mm PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) membrane was chosen for its durability and long life. PVC roofing is known for:
- Chemical resistant, fire resistant, extreme temperature resistant
- High-reflective, energy-efficient
- Heat welded seams
- Flexible, easy-to-install
The 60 mm thickness provides puncture and weather resistance for a long-life roof.
Installation
Our team followed a detailed installation process:
- Roof Preparation: After removing the old roofing material, we cleaned and inspected the roof deck for damage
- Insulation Laying: The ISO boards were laid and secured to the roof deck, with no gaps for maximum thermal performance
- PVC Membrane: We installed the PVC membrane using mechanical fastening and heat welding. The sheets were overlapped and heat welded to create a smooth, watertight surface.
- Flashing and Details: We paid extra attention to roof penetrations, edges, and corners, with proper flashing installed to prevent water intrusion
- Quality Control: We did seam probing and visual checks to ensure the installation was done right
Project Management
The project was completed in 2 days; we used a dumpster for debris removal to minimize disruption to the surrounding area.
