You ll note that we recommend an open jointed ballast system in conjunction with an inverted roof construction.
Inverter roof ballast.
Made of a glass reinforced composite the bx chassis is engineered for extreme structural loading yet is also shaped to be roof friendly and easy to install.
Stone ballast typically requires crushed graded stone placed over a stone filter sheet rolled out over the insulation.
Insulation boards are loose laid on top of the membrane and then weighted down with paving slabs or gravel ballast.
Up to 5 standard 4 x8 x16 ballast blocks may be placed on each base to meet even the most demanding conditions.
Ballasted systems also provide maximum resistance against roof membrane damage and uv degradation protection against thermal shock fire or noise and maintain the lowest surface tem perature of all system types.
It s an enconomic method for extracting the long term performance and cost savings from the inverted roof design with anticipated lower upfront material costs.
Inverted ballasted single ply roofing systems offer an excellent solution for situations where access or recreation are a priority.
Just like in residential solar designers must first verify that the roof can accommodate the weight of a solar array.
In an inverted ballasted roof the insulation boards are then placed over the waterproofing.

Each kit includes 4 mounting feet plus hardware to install an inverter under a rooftop array.
A filtration layer is then installed over the insulation to prevent fines from entering the drainage zones and the whole system is then ballasted using paving slabs on support pads or 20 40 mm diameter river washed pebbles.
Needed at perimeters and at large penetrations.
Compatible with all major pv inverter brands ecomount is compatible with all major inverter brands and meets the requirements of nearly any project.
Ballast is required with 20 lbs s f.
Inverted roofs are designed with the waterproofing layer usually a liquid applied membrane beneath the insulation.
