If you’re a commercial business owner, you will want your building’s roof to stand the test of time. A singly ply membrane roofing system is a fantastic option that offers durability, longevity, and affordability. This system is ideal for roof reinforcement without breaking the bank. Tearing off the existing roof is not required, which reduces labor costs significantly. Instead, synthetic sheets adhere to the surface of the existing roof surface. The resulting barrier is extremely durable and long-lasting.
MasterWorks specializes in all forms of single ply membrane services. From initial installation, through repairs, maintenance and even restoration services, we have what it takes to keep your single-ply system in peak condition year-round.
Types of Singly Ply Roofing Systems
There are many different single-ply membrane systems on the market. However, there are a few that stand out as robust and enduring. These are the top 3 most popular options.
TPO – Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a material that is lightweight and made to offer reinforcement and prevent tears. The seams are heat welded together to prevent leaking. It is a versatile option that can be safely installed over existing layers making it a cost-efficient and time-saving option.
PVC – Polyvinyl Chloride is made up of three layers, one layer of polyester and two of PVC. PVC systems are lightweight, durable, fire-resistant, and stand up well to mold chemicals, and inclement weather. This system is also more energy efficient than many others due to its reflective surface.
EPDM – Ethylene Propylene Dene Terpolymer is made up of extremely durable synthetic rubber membranes. It comes in either black or white rolls in various sizes. They are rolled out over your existing roof surface and adhered to it. It is a great option for low slopes and flat roofs. EPDM is eco-friendly, waterproof, and can last 25-30 years.
