PVC Roofing

    PVC membranes are a highly popular choice of single-ply roofing. They consist of a single layer of thermoplastic material. PVC membranes are installed in rows and are typically hot-air welded at the seams. They are strong, durable, and can last 20 to 30 years.

    What is a PVC Roofing System?

    Thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) roofing is a type of single-ply roofing that’s flexible and very durable. PVC roofing membranes are light in color, so they reflect the sun’s energy, making them highly energy-efficient. Buildings with roofs that are constantly exposed to grease or chemicals can greatly benefit from PVC roofing because of the protection it provides.

    Our PVC roofing membrane comes in white and gray (custom colors are available) and is available in a variety of thicknesses between 45 and 80 mil. The thicker the membrane, the more resistant it is to tears and weathering. It is suitable for both new roof installations and reroofing.
