What is PVC Roofing?
PVC is a single ply membrane that is used on a flat or slow slope roofing system. It is considered both safe and a long-lasting alternative compared to the common torch down or modified bitumen roofing systems.
Compared to the rest, the PVC singly ply roofing material has proven to be one of the best, given its track record. While there are various manufacturers and structural differences of PVC membranes on the market today, Reliable Roofing only works with the best manufacturer’s including GAF, Johns Manville, and Firestone, to provide the best results for your commercial building.
PVC roofing can be installed in two ways:
- Fully adhered: This method involves using glue or an adhesive to the attach the PVC to the decking, overlapping the welded seams with a heat gun.
- Mechanically fastened: This method involves using screws and plates to attach the PVC to the roof deck, overlapping the welded seams with a walk welder or heat gun. This is often the most preferred option as it is the safest and will prevent wrinkling and billowing.
