[000127] Referring now to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, a method of installation 500 comprises one or more of the following steps: a step 502 of obtaining a roofing accessory; a step 504 of removing a removable liner from the roofing accessory; a step 506 of adhering the roofing accessory to a roofing substrate; and a step 508 of welding the roofing accessory to the roofing substrate. Tn some embodiments, the method of installation 500 further comprises a step (not shown) of applying a primer to at least one of the roofing accessory, the roofing substrate, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the step 504 of removing a removable liner from the roofing accessory comprises removing the removable liner from the bottom surface of the base member, so as to expose the adhesive. In some embodiments, the step 506 of adhering the roofing accessory to a roofing substrate comprises contacting the adhesive with a roofing substrate, so as to adhere the adherable portion of the bottom surface of the base member to the roofing substrate. In some embodiments, the step 508 of welding the roofing accessory to the roofing substrate comprises welding the weldable portion of the bottom surface of the base member to the roofing substrate. In some embodiments, the roofing substrate is a roofing membrane. In some embodiments, the roofing substrate comprises at least one of a roofing shingle, a polyester, an underlayment, a roofing membrane, a modified bitumen (MODBIT) substrate, a roll good, a pipe, or any combination thereof.

[000128] It will be appreciated that the base members discussed above may be provided in other configurations and shapes, such as, for example and without limitation, at least one of a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, a quadrilateral shape, or any combination thereof. It will also be appreciated that other types of roofing accessories may be used herein without departing from the scope of this disclosure, such as, for example and without limitation, at least one of a vent boot roofing accessory, a split pipe boot roofing accessory, a square tube wrap roofing accessory, a pourable sealer pocket roofing accessory, a corner roofing accessory (e.g., a corner reinforcement roofing accessory), or any combination thereof. It will further be appreciated that other types of protruding members may be used herein without departing from the scope of this disclosure, such as, for example and without limitation, at least one of a vent boot, a split pipe boot, a square tube wrap, a sealer pocket, a corner, or any combination thereof.

EXAMPLES

[000129] Specific embodiments of the invention will now be demonstrated by reference to the following examples. It should be understood that these examples are disclosed by way of illustrating the invention and should not be taken in any way to limit the scope of the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

[000130] The heat weldable area of conventional roofing accessories was compared to the heat weldable area of the adherable and weldable roofing accessories disclosed herein. The heat weldable area of a conventional vent boot roofing accessory was measured. The heat weldable area of a conventional corner roofing accessory was measured. The heat weldable area of an adherable and weldable vent pipeboot roofing accessory as disclosed herein was measured. The heat weldable area of an adherable and weldable corner roofing accessory as disclosed herein was measured. Table 1 summarizes the measured heat weldable areas.

[000131] Table 1: Heat Weldable Area Comparison

[000132] As shown in Table 1, the heat weldable area of the vent boot roofing accessory and corner roofing accessory was at least 60% less than the heat weldable area of the conventional vent boot roofing accessory and the conventional corner roofing accessory, respectively. EXAMPLE 2

[000133] The hand welding time of conventional roofing accessories was compared to the hand welding time of the adherable and weldable roofing accessories disclosed herein. The hand welding time of a conventional vent boot roofing accessory was measured. The hand welding time of a conventional corner roofing accessory was measured. The hand welding time of an adherable and weldable vent boot roofing accessory as disclosed herein was measured. The hand welding time of an adherable and weldable corner roofing accessory as disclosed herein was measured. Table 2 summarizes the measured hand welding times.

[000134] Table 2: Hand Welding Time Comparison

* Welding temperature of 700 °F using a Leister hand welder.

[000135] As shown in Table 2, the hand welding time of the vent boot roofing accessory and corner reinforcement roofing accessory was at least two times (2x) faster than the hand welding time of the conventional vent boot roofing accessory and the conventional corner reinforcement roofing accessory, respectively.

[000136] Although the invention has been described in certain specific exemplary embodiments, many additional modifications and variations would be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure. It is, therefore, to be understood that this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described. Thus, the exemplary embodiments of the invention should be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the invention to be determined by any claims supportable by this application and the equivalents thereof, rather than by the foregoing description.
