A quick and secure way to install KÖSTER TPO Membranes is through loose laying with ballast. Ballast can consist of either gravel, paving slabs, or even green roofs. Ballast helps protect the roofing membrane against wind loads and can accommodate a wide range of architectural styles. A special advantage of this installation method is that the roofing membrane does not need to be mechanically fastened to the substrate. Due to the weight of the ballast, higher loads must be taken into consideration in the roof load calculation.
