Single ply roofing has become an increasingly popular flat roof covering over the last few years. Essentially, a single ply membrane roof is comprised of flexible sheets of synthetic polymer that can be divided into two main groups,Thermoplastics and synthetic rubber. Due to the fact that thermoplastics can be re-heated and re-molded, they have become the number one option for many industrial roofing contractors undertaking flat roof installations.

3. Polyvinyl Chloride
(PVC) is recognised as a
thermoplastic
membrane and has been
used as a single ply
membrane roofing
material across Europe
since the sixties. From
the largest of factory
rooftops to much
smaller garage roofs
and bay windows, it can
be easily used in a
variety of situations
and environments.

4. The Benefits of Single Ply Roofing
Regardless of the type of roofing material that you’re
considering to use, there are many universal benefits in
choosing a single ply membrane roof. These include:
Resistant to UV & Natural Elements
A fundamental requirement for any
roofing material is the assurance
that it’s resistant to damaging
ultraviolet light. Not only are most
single ply membrane materials
100% UV resistant, but they’re also
not affected by the build up of
potentially harmful micro-organisms.

5. Durable
When applied with a hot air weld,
the single ply roof membrane
also provides your building with
some much needed protection
against changing weather
conditions and even the most
extreme temperatures.
Fire Retardant
Due to their composition, single ply
membrane roofs are also fire resistant
and even self-extinguishing. For any
business, organisation or workplace
that is concerned about the fire safety
of their employees, visitors or
customers then single ply roofing is
certain to provide you with both
confidence and security.

6. Types of Single ply membrane
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Due to its durability, longevity and ability to
withstand a build up of chemicals and acidic
outflow, PVC has become one of the most widely
used flat roofing materials in the UK and across
Europe for almost half a century. It’s also
extremely easy to manufacture, install and repair.
Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO)
Much like PVC, Thermoplastic Olefin
is another commonly used material
for a wide variety of flat roofing
solutions. Also known as Flexible
Polyolefin (FPO), TPO isn’t as flexible
as PVC and is also likely to incur
extra installation costs due to the use
of solvents.
