TPO QuickSeam Flashing as Cover Strip for Batten Strip
September 8, 2008
Firestone is pleased to announce that the use of its UltraPly TPO QuickSeam Flashing is approved for use as a cover strip for batten strip in intermediate attachment applications. The use of UltraPly TPO QuickSeam Flashing as a batten cover strip will qualify a system for a maximum warranty length of 15 years. This application will allow greater design flexibility and labor savings when intermediate attachment of batten strip is required in areas such as perimeters and corners.
To ensure adequate waterproofing seam width, UltraPly TPO QuickSeam Flashing is only approved for use as a cover strip over metal batten strip, coiled metal batten strip and polymer batten strip. Intermediate attachments with HD or HD+ Seam Plates still require the use of welded strips of TPO membrane for cover strip applications.
