Though single-ply roofing systems were inducted into the construction industry over 50 years ago, commercial building owners have only recently begun to appreciate the potential they have to offer. These systems of roofing are known particularly for their suitability for flat and low slope commercial roofs.
Are Single-Ply Roofing Systems Worth Your Investment?
Single-ply roofing systems have a range of benefits for commercial and industrial building owners. Therefore, you should definitely consider opting for them. To give you a glimpse of what single-ply roofing has to offer, here are some of its best known benefits:
- Easy installation and maintenance: The expenses involved in both the installation and maintenance of single-ply roofing systems are comparatively low and both processes can be conducted in a trouble-free manner.
- Longevity: Provides years of undisputed protection, adding years to roof lifespan.
- Recyclable: When your single-ply roofing system wears out, instead of disposing of it in a landfill, it can be recycled.
- Convertible: If required, you can easily have your single-ply roofing system tailored for green roof installations.
- Durable: Consists of a tough, durable material, which offers exceptional resistance to all forms of weather extremities and UV light.
- Energy-Efficient: Causes the heat to reflect from its surface, keeping your business building at a lower temperature and your energy bills down
Single-Ply roofing can be divided into distinct types. Among these, the best known are Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO), and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). Yoder Commercial Roofing is honored to offer you each!
TPO
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) is unarguably the most cost-effective option of single-ply membrane roofing. Aside from being reflective towards UV rays and heat, using a white color means that it will further reduce your utility costs by causing the sun’s rays to bounce off.
In addition, TPO is extraordinarily tough against all types of damages, whether these damages are from UV rays, tearing, acids, dirt accumulation, or chemicals. It also displays great flexibility even under very cold weather conditions.
PVC
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is another strong option that covers the surface of your roof with a watertight seal. This form of single-ply membrane can be installed directly on top of your existing roof and unlike other systems, you don’t need the use of adhesives, tapes, or caulks, as it boasts heat-welded seams.
PVC has an incredible resilience against powerful winds, fire, and chemicals. Moreover, it is also undisturbed by being exposed to microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, as well as plant material.
Similar to TPO, you can have PVC installed on your existing roofing system.
