Scuff Pads for Rubber Membrane Roofs [RE-wrenches]

[Blair May]

Contact one of the certified roofing contractors in your area & get the walkway pads. They come in various widths & lengths. One of the few ways the warranty will not be void. Been there, had it done!

We are using UniRac's RapidRac, and wanted to know what people thought about using scuff pads under the racking system to protect the roof.  It seems that the sharps corners of the racking could cut into / penetrate the membrane under the dead load of the array and in times of heavy snow loads.  Are using pads common?  What materials are used?
