About PVC Roofing
The PVC membrane comes in a variety of thicknesses. Over time, the thinner membranes can become brittle, but the thicker membranes will remain pliable. PVC has heat welded seams that form permanent, watertight bonds that are stronger than the membrane itself. And due to their light color, PVC membranes are also energy efficient. They are also very easy to maintain and repair, even if the roof is 30 years old.
PVC roofing provides an ideal long-term solution offering high performance and a lower life cycle cost when properly installed by certified contractors.
Advantages of PVC Roofing
- Chemical Resistance: PVC is highly resistant to harsh chemicals, pollutants and weathering, making it ideal for commercial and industrial applications.
- Heat-Welded Seams: The seams are heat-welded to form permanent, watertight bonds that are stronger than the membrane itself.
- Energy Efficiency: The light-colored membrane reflects sunlight, helping to reduce cooling costs.
- Low Maintenance: PVC roofs are very easy to maintain and repair, even after decades of service.
- Durability: Thicker PVC membranes remain pliable and perform well over the long term.
- Proven Track Record: PVC has been used in commercial roofing for decades with excellent results.
Ideal Applications
- Commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs
- Restaurants and kitchens where grease and chemical resistance is needed
- Industrial facilities exposed to chemical pollutants
- Buildings where energy efficiency is a priority
- Structures requiring a long-lasting, low-maintenance roofing solution
