PVC Commercial Roofing
PVC roofing is a single ply roofing system commonly seen on flat-roofed commercial buildings. It’s a popular pick for business owners who want an energy-efficient, durable roof with relatively easy upkeep.
What is PVC Roofing?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) roofing, is a single layer roofing system for flat roofs. It’s installed in flexible sheets rolled out across the roof’s surface and then heat welded at the seams to create a watertight bond.
These heat welded seams are what draw so many to PVC roofing. Unlike adhesive based seams, welded seams create a continuous surface that resists leaks.
Why Choose PVC Roofing?
PVC roofing is great for commercial environments. It’s reinforced for strength, handles movement, temperature changes, and exposure to chemicals, grease, and standing water better than many other commercial roofing materials.
You can see PVC being used as a roofing material for restaurants, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and other similar properties requiring extra protection from the elements.
Watertight Protection
Heat welded seams fuse pvc material together, creating a continuous surface that prevents leaks.
Durability
PVC resists weathering, UV exposure, punctures, and building movement, allowing it to perform reliably for decades when properly installed.
Chemical and Contaminant Resistance
The membrane holds up well in environments exposed to pollutants, exhaust, or other rooftop contaminants that can damage other materials.
Energy Efficiency
Some reflective PVC options reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling cost and improving your building’s energy efficiency.
Low Maintenance
PVC roof systems need little upkeep and are easy for anyone to inspect, which can reduce long term operating and repair costs.
Lightweight Material
PVC roofing is made from lightweight material, adding little structural load. Because it’s so versatile, it can also be installed on a wide range of roof types.
PVC vs TPO Roofing
PVC is preferred for restaurants or other similar facilities with roofs exposed to grease or chemical discharge. However, TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) can be a cost effective option for general commercial use.
Advantages of PVC:
- Heat welded seams create a very strong, watertight bond
- Better resistance to chemicals, grease, and oils
- Typically long lasting
Advantages of TPO
- Typically lower upfront cost
- Strong energy efficiency due to reflective surface
- Lightweight and widely used
