My current roof has mechanical fasteners (and is stretched?). But
I'll need a new roof soon and I've looked at the WeatherBond website
and that stuff is glued down.
Temperature problems with a glued roof? Why use mechanical fasteners?

Either Mechanical fasteners or glue-down is o.k. if done right.
Careful research of uplift requirements and general climate limits are
needed.

How is your roof mechanically fastened?? Rubber roofs get glued down,
not stretched and fastened. More information and maybe a photo if you
could.

Every so many feet there is a nub thing that goes through to the
underlayment.
This one is definitely not glued down.

You have a real oddball there, Mike. Typically flat roofs are done in
bitumen (torch-down), EPDM (rubber), or tar & gravel. Rubber roofs
typically have a service life of around 40 years, glued down, in all
sorts of weather. Temperatures should not be an issue, but uplift can
be, depending on the size of the roof.
