Single-ply roofing is a flexible and lightweight roofing system that offers many benefits for your building. Single-ply is categorized as one of the following elastomeric systems: thermoplastic (PVC and TPO)  and thermosetting (EPDM). These roofing membranes are a great option for flat roofs and can provide many advantages for your building. 

Options in Materials – There are a few different types of materials and style options for single-ply. With the help of our roofing professionals, we can help you choose the perfect single-ply roofing system for your particular needs and building specifications. 

Energy Efficient – Many single-ply options have a white outer layer. This layer reflects the sun’s rays, so the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to cool down the building, making the building more energy efficient. This also helps lower your energy costs as a whole. 

Extends Roof’s Lifespan – Single-ply may be able to be installed directly over your current roof. A single-ply membrane roof can last from 25 to 40 years. Because of this, you can go longer without having to do a whole reroof. This process is less invasive compared to completely replacing your roof, so business operations do not have to stop.

Weather Resistant – One of the main functionality of a roof is to protect against water damage and other elements. Single-ply’s heat-welded seams protect against leaks. The materials are also great at holding up in extreme temperatures. 

Lightweight – Unlike other roofing systems, a single-ply membrane doesn’t require additional structural support. The material used is also lightweight and flexible. This means there will be little stress added to the building. The roofing structure can also expand and contract with your building as it settles, preventing cracks and leaks from occurring. 

Highly Durable – Single-ply is a great option for many industries because of its durability and its resistance to common stressors. 

Single ply is resistant to:

UV rays 

Tearing and leaks 

Fungus growth 

Chemicals, acids, and oils
