PVC roofing

Pliability, Durability, and Recyclability

An increasingly popular roofing material for commercial applications, PVC membrane roofs—when properly installed—provide facilities with durability, strength and energy efficiency. PVC roofing gets its name from the thermoplastic material from which it is made—polyvinyl chloride. PVC roofing sheets are inherently flexible, yet strong and puncture resistant.

Whether you’re looking to repair your existing PVC roofing or are considering it for a brand new facility, here’s what you need to know about PVC membrane roofs:

Durability and strength
Proper installation techniques
Green building considerations

PVC membrane roofing is known for its durability and strength. Notably, PVC roofing sheets are perfect for high traffic commercial low slope or flat roofs, as the material remains puncture resistant and flexible, even in the most extreme temperatures. And, because the seams are secured through heat-welding, PVC membrane roofs are highly resistant to leaks.

PVC roofing comes in manufactured sheets, usually ranging from 6 to 12 feet wide. Before applying PVC roofing sheets, your roofing contractor will install underlayment to the roofing deck. Or, some PVC membrane roofs come with a fleece backing, reducing installation time.

There are three main techniques for installing PVC roofing sheets: fully-adhered installation, mechanically fastening the sheets, or ballasting them with rocks. Regardless of the technique used, your PVC roofing should be fastened tightly at all perimeters to prevent the membrane from pulling away from the edges during high wind conditions.

Your licensed roofing contractor will guide you toward the best PVC roofing installation technique for your facility, and can also help you navigate fire safety, building codes, and international standards.

Sustainability is key for commercial projects these days, and the big certification you need to get in order for your building to be considered ”sustainable” is the LEED v4 certification, which is more focused on the use of recyclable, sustainable materials than previous LEED iterations.PVC roofing can easily contribute toward your LEED v4 certification, as PVC roofing sheets can be made with recyclable materials, and can often be recycled at the end of its service life. Additionally, the white and gray varieties of PVC membrane roofing are UV and temperature resistant, which can contribute to the overall energy efficiency rating of your facility. Also important, the temperature control provided to your facility by PVC roofing can lower your utility bills.

What Our Customers Say

Mike Beary was awesome. Good customer service, did what he said he was going to do and didn’t leave a mess

Jimi DeClue

Wildwood Roofing did an excellent job on our new roof, siding, soffit and gutters. We were told by multiple other companies that they couldn’t help us fix it and Preston Shults came in confident he could help us. We appreciate everything he was able to do and the whole process went smoothly. Highly recommend Preston and Wildwood Roofing!

Makinna Tripp

We had a terrific experience with Wildwood Roofing and the representative Elliott Emann. I would highly recommend their services.

Brook Mullen

When our roof was damaged by hail, we were referred to Caleb at Wildwood roofing. That was in mid May of this year and Caleb took care of everything, including all communication with our insurance agent as well as the claim adjusters. We literally had to do nothing. He told us our roof would probably be replaced by July and it is finished as of yesterday July 18. The workers were amazing, quick, polite, and left the place spotless. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
