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.

Steve

The sometimes-dreadful thoughts one might have when needing a new roof, along with getting quotes, dealing with insurance adjusters and claims, and the inconvenience during construction, can be a daunting experience; however, this couldn’t have been further from what our experience was with our recent new roof and gutter replacement by Wildwood Roofing and Construction.We were referred to Elliot Emann of Wildwood Roofing and Construction when our home had hail damage. Elliot performed an assessment of our home and thoroughly went over the damages we had, as well as meeting with our insurance adjuster to go over the damages he found.With Elliot’s guidance and findings, the initial insurance claims process was quick and seamless. Within only a few weeks of filing our claim, construction was underway. The Wildwood Construction crews were polite, respectful of our property, worked diligently, and cleaned up all construction debris, finishing the project in an expeditious manner.From the initial damage assessment of our home through the final project closeout, we did not experience any sales pitch pressures or tactics from any of the staff with Wildwood Roofing and Construction. Elliot’s main focus was ensuring we were happy and satisfied with the process, schedule, and construction.Without reservation, I highly recommend Elliot Emann and the services of Wildwood Roofing and Construction.Rick Rohlfing
