PVC roofing membrane: All you need to know

I What is a PVC roofing membrane?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a single-ply white membrane used in both commercial and residential roofing. Due to the membrane being white, it reflects heat instead of absorbing it.

PVC is a great option If you have a flat roof over a living space because it’ll keep the room below cooler. It’s also a great option over a non-living space like a garage or covered patio.

Just know the white membrane will get dirty over time. So, you need to decide if seeing a dirty PVC membrane from a window is a big deal. 

It’ll have no functionality issues, but it’s just something to keep in mind when going through the decision-making process for your flat roofing material.

III Characterstics for pvc roofing Membrane

1 Durability is a huge advantage of a PVC roof. This type of roofing membrane is remarkably strong because it has heat-welded seams that create a watertight bond that’s even stronger than the membrane itself, which gives it permanence. As a result, PVC roofing doesn’t have to depend on tapes, adhesives and caulks for sealing its seams as other types of roofing systems do.

2 PVC roofs are highly wind resistant, thanks to their welded seams. In fact, often PVC roofs have held up even in Category 3 hurricanes. Therefore, if you live an area that tends to experience intense winds and hurricanes, a PVC roof is a good choice.

3 Fire resistance is one of the main benefits of PVC roofing as this type of roofing system is very hard to ignite. Consider that a PVC roof is highly resistant to oxidation reactions. This makes it exceptionally safer than other types of roofs.

4 The chemical resistance of PVC roofing means not having to deal with roofing issues caused by chemical exposure. Thus, your flat roof can continue to serve you even when it’s exposed to harsh chemical conditions.

5 Environmental friendliness is another plus of a PVC roofing system. The PVC membrane has high solar reflectivity, so less energy is wasted. Also, this can mean paying less money to heat or cool your building.

IV Benifits and considerations for pvc roofing membrane

1 The roofing membrane of a PVC roof can endure both low and high alkaline conditions.

2 PVC roofing isn’t negatively affected by being exposed to fungi, bacteria and plant roofs.

3 Often restaurant buildings with flat roofs can suffer from animal fat that comes from grease vents, which can damage roofs with an asphalt base, besides other types of single-ply roofing membranes. However, this isn’t a problem when you have a PVC roofing membrane.

4 Because PVC membranes are usually incredibly flexible, they can easily be modified for different rooftops.

5 In most cases, a PVC roof can be directly installed over an existing roofing system. This means you don’t have to tear off your old roof.
