The JM RhinoPlate System

The JM RhinoPlateTM System is a FM Global® approved alternative for JM TPO and JM PVC systems. This system uses coated plates to secure the insulation to the deck. The RhinoPlate is then welded to the JM membrane without creating penetrations in the waterproofing surface.

- Enhanced Productivity - may require 25% to 50% fewer fasteners when compared to in-seam fastening methods. 

- Reduced Flutter and Improved Aesthetics - does not require seam fasteners to secure the system; therefore, fastening points are spread across the entire roof in a grid pattern rather than being concentrated on the edge of the membrane. This creates a more evenly distributed load, yielding higher wind uplift approvals and reducing the potential for membrane flutter − all while providing improved rooftop performance and better aesthetics!

- Faster Dry-In - In some installations, a membrane seam can be welded before the JM RhinoPlate is bonded to the membrane. This enables the contractor to get a larger area of the building dry to prevent moisture infiltration into the building or reassign skilled workers to complete other parts of the installation before fully securing the membrane in the roofing system.

- Best-in-Class FM Global Approvals - Using six fasteners per board, an approval of 1-90 has been tested and achieved. With eight per board, JM TPO has achieved an industry best 1-135!
