• JM TPO Membrane can be adversely affected by contact with bituminous substances. The membrane supplier should be contacted for advice in this situation. 
• The effective control of internal moisture must be considered at the design stage due to the impermeability of the membrane. Refer to BRANZ publication Good Practice Guide: Membrane Roofing.
