Are you planning to replace your commercial roofing system? If you want a material that’s highly reliable yet easy to maintain, PVC is worth considering. This material is popular for its durability and sustainability, while also being one of the most affordable options.
A Solid Roofing Material
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a synthetic plastic polymer material that’s mass-produced into different types of products, including a major component used in single-ply roofing systems. PVC roofing is known for its excellent longevity and energy efficiency. It can be easily installed in either a residential or commercial roof that has a low or flat slope.
PVC membrane roofs are welded at the seams to create a permanent bond that’s stronger than the membrane itself. They come in different grades, with residential PVC roofs available in 50 mil thickness and commercial PVC roofs available in 60 to 80 mil thicknesses. Because of their durability, they can be used in modular roofing systems while effectively repelling dust, dirt and other elements.
Lightweight and Long-Lasting
A typical PVC roofing system can last at least 20 years with minimal care and maintenance. Its high resistance to impact and abrasions means fewer scratches on the roof surface, making it ideal for roofs that get a lot of foot traffic. The material is also one of the lightest ones available in the market, weighing only around 0.25 pounds per square foot. This is a big benefit compared to other systems in the 45mil range.
Green and Eco-Friendly
PVC membranes are 100% recyclable, which means only a small amount of discarded roofing ends up as actual waste. Post-consumer membranes can be recycled back into new membranes, making it an eco-friendly roofing choice. They’re also highly weldable throughout their lifespan, making them incredibly sustainable without losing their thermoplasticity.
