Sunrock solve the problem of how to fix balustrades to Firestone Rubber Roofing, a single ply membrane used to waterproof a flat roof.

Creating a balcony or decking area using glass balustrades with stainless steel posts on a flat roof with a Firestone rubber roof, or any other waterproof membrane, has its problems.

Care must be taken not to pierce the waterproof membrane otherwise it will compromise the warranty. Which means that we can’t attach the steel posts  on top of the Firestone rubber membrane.
