Single Ply Roofing
Single-ply membranes are a popular choice for commercial flat and low-sloped roofs due to their flexibility, durability, and ease of installation. These membranes are typically made from synthetic polymers and come in large rolls, minimizing seams and the potential for leaks. Common types of single-ply membranes include TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).
Key Benefits of Single Ply Roofing:
- Durability: Resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and chemical exposure, offering long-term protection.
- Flexibility: Accommodates building movement and thermal expansion and contraction.
- Lightweight: Reduces the structural load on the building.
- Energy Efficiency (TPO): Many TPO membranes are ENERGY STAR® certified, reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs. Learn more about energy efficient TPO.
- Chemical Resistance (PVC): Offers excellent resistance to oils, grease, and some chemicals, making it suitable for specific industrial applications. Learn more about chemical resistant PVC.
Common Applications of Single Ply Roofing:
Widely used on commercial buildings of all sizes, including offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and schools. TPO is particularly popular for its balance of cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency, while PVC is often chosen for environments with potential chemical exposure.
