Fixture support for membrane roof

1. A system for supporting one or more fixtures on a membrane roof comprising:

a metal bracket interfacing with and securing said one or more fixtures, the metal bracket coated on one surface with a material compatible for heat welding to roofing membrane; and

a piece of membrane separate from the membrane roof, exhibiting unbroken upper and lower surfaces with no notch or other opening through the surfaces, the membrane having a length and width substantially greater than dimensions of the metal bracket;

wherein the metal bracket is joined to the piece of membrane separate from the membrane roof by heat welding the one surface of the metal bracket coated with a material compatible with heat welding to the upper surface of the piece of membrane separate from the membrane roof, and the unbroken, downward-facing opposite surface of the separate piece of membrane is then heat welded to the membrane roof.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the membrane roof covering and bracket coating is one of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE), Chloro-Sulfonated Polyethylene (CSPE), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) or Thermoplastic PolyOlefin (TPO) or other membrane roofing material.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the metal bracket is fabricated of galvanized steel sheet metal pre-coated on at least one surface with material heat-weldable to the roofing membrane.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the separate piece of membrane is from the material used in the membrane roofing.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the separate piece of membrane is one of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Ketone Ethylene Ester (KEE), Chloro-Sulfonated Polyethylene (CSPE), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Thermoplastic PolyOlefin (TPO) or other membrane roofing material.
