Single-Ply 101
If you are unfamiliar with single-ply roofing, you should know there are two main categories:
1) Thermoset
Thermoset membranes can be softened over and over with the application of heat, allowing you to re-shape and mold them as often as you need. They harden upon cooling. EPDM or rubber is the main type of thermoset single-ply membrane.
2) Thermoplastic
Thermoplastics harden irreversibly after being heated once during installation. These include TPO and PVC.
Regardless of what type of single-ply you choose, they all have something in common. They basically consist of a single sheet of membrane, which includes 4 components:
- An insulation layer
- A layer of membrane
- Flashing
- Fasteners – adhesive or mechanical fasteners, usually
Why Choose Single-Ply Roofing?
Single-ply roofing systems have steadily grown in popularity over the last 30 years, and for good reason. Whatever system you select, there are multiple benefits to gain from:
- Easy to Install – Means less labor costs and faster installation.
- Superior Durability – Despite their thinner-than-average construction, single-ply roofs hold up extremely well to common damaging factors like wind, hail, rain, and chemicals like oil and grease.
- Lightweight – Because of their construction, they are incredibly lightweight and a good choice for structures that can’t handle the load of a heavy asphalt roof.
- Low Maintenance – Single-ply roofs rarely require much attention other than a yearly cleaning and bi-annual maintenance.
- Longevity – On average, most single-ply systems have a projected service life to 20+ years.
- Flexible – Single-ply membranes bend and flex, expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing building stress and reducing the incidence of gaps and pull-apart seams.
- Reflective – Most single-ply systems are naturally white or come with white topcoat options to bounce back a significant portion of the sun’s rays, lowering utility costs.
