Restaurant Roofs: Grease Exhaust and Kitchen Equipment
Kitchen exhaust fans can push grease onto the roof, which damages some membranes.
Grease
Grease containment at exhaust fans and grease-resistant membranes like PVC help.
Penetrations
Many pipes, hoods, and units mean many flashings to check.
Operations
Health codes and opening hours shape when and how work happens.
Common questions
- How often should the roof be checked?
- More often than typical, because of grease and traffic.
- Can grease damage TPO?
