Although single-ply membranes have been around for well over 50 years, commercial building owners across the world have started to realize its hidden potential only recently. This system of roofing is particularly suited to flat and low slope commercial roofs.
Why Choose Single-Ply?
Single-ply offers many benefits to commercial building owners, which is why you should definitely consider this roofing system. Here are the most notable perks of single-ply:
- Easy to install and maintain. Both the installation and maintenance costs of single-ply roofing are relatively low and both processes are hassle-free.
- Longevity. Provides you decades of unquestioned protection, with proper maintenance.
- Environmentally Friendly. When the time comes to replace your single-ply system, instead of disposing of it in a dumpsite, you can send it off for recycling.
- Convertible. If needed, you can easily adapt your single-ply roof for green roof installations.
- Durable: Made of a strong material, which offers extraordinary resilience against all sorts of weather hazards and UV rays.
- Energy-Efficient. Reflects heat from its surface, keeping your commercial premises cooler and your utility bills down.
Single-Ply System Options
Single-Ply can be further categorized into various types, the most renowned of which are Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO). Greenquest Roofing is proud to offer you both of these single-ply options!
Both the PVC and TPO share all the upside of single-ply outlined above, in addition to other advantages specific to each type.
PVC
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) comes in rolls of material and boasts heat-welded seams, which form a watertight seal over your roof’s surface. This type of single-ply can be installed on top of your existing roof, and unlike other systems doesn’t require the use of caulks, adhesives, or tapes.
It offers incredible resistance against strong winds, fire, and chemicals. On top of that, it is also unaffected by exposure to microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, as well as plant material.
TPO
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) is the most inexpensive option of all the types of single-ply membranes. Besides being naturally reflective towards heat and UV rays, it is generally white in color, meaning that it will further cut down your energy costs by deflecting sun rays.
Furthermore, TPO is exceptionally resistant against all sorts of damages, whether they are from tearing, UV rays, acids, chemicals, or dirt accumulation. It also remains flexible under insanely cold weather conditions.
Like PVC, you can have TPO installed over your existing roofing system.
