OMG says its induction-based technology for installing single-ply, RhinoBond System, has left marks across Europe with more than 125 completed projects and many more in the pipeline. Collectively, these projects represent more than 300,000m² of single-ply roofing.
Web Shaffer, vice president of marketing for OMG Roofing Products, commented: “In last two years, the RhinoBond System has really started to take off across Europe, as more roofing contractors have seen the simplicity, labour savings and superior roof performance benefits that the system can offer.
“We have completed projects across Europe and we are expanding to new countries in the region, most recently, into South East Europe.”
RhinoBond is acts as a method for installing thermoplastic and now also clean EPDM membrane. It consists of a stand-up induction welding tool and magnetic cooling clamps.
Contractors install roofing insulation using fasteners and specially coated plates designed specifically for the type of membrane being installed – PVC, TPO or Clean EPDM. Each plate is then bonded to the roof membrane installed over the top with the RhinoBond plate welding tool. The result is a roofing system that can provide enhanced wind performance with fewer fasteners, fewer membrane seams and zero penetrations of the new membrane.
Currently the RhinoBond System is approved for use in Europe by many of the leading roof system providers, including Bauder, Carlisle/Hertalan, Danosa, Fatra, FDT, Firestone, GAF, IcoPal, IKO, Renolit, Sika, Siplast, and Soprema/Flag.
The company says its focus is delivering products and services that improve contractor productivity and enhance roof system performance.
