Single-ply roofing systems are an excellent way to protect your existing roofing structure. Single-ply systems come in 2 basic formats – thermoset or thermoplastic. Thermosets are synthetic rubber-based materials, with polymers added to improve UV protection, adjust color, or provide increased reflectivity.
Thermoplastics are broken down by the base materials used, primarily thermoplastics and polyvinyls. Both also have additional polymers added to increase resiliency, strength, color, and/or reflectivity. Determining what type of membrane is best for your building includes a lot of factors, including location, roof pitch, underlying substrate, and personal preference. This is where a partnership with a highly professional roofing company like MK Roofing really matters.

Types of Single-Ply Roof Coverings

There are 2 basic types of single-ply systems, thermoset, and thermoplastic. Within these groups, there are 3 commonly used membrane materials:

EPDM

EPDM, or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a thermoset material. To be a little less technical, EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound. Strong and flexible, EPDM single-ply membranes have some wonderful benefits to consider:

PVC

PVC, which stands for polyvinyl chloride, is a thermoplastic material. Designed primarily for flat or low-slope roofs, PVC is manufactured in rolls, which are then rolled onto your roofing structure. In existence since the 1960s, like EPDM, PVC has a long history of successful roof protection. Other considerations for PVC are:

TPO

TPO, or Thermoplastic Polyolefin, is another thermoplastic material and is our preferred single ply roof system.
TPO roofing is widely used in commercial applications. It is commonly used on flat or low-sloped roofs, as it provides an effective waterproofing solution for such structures.
