PVC (polyvinyl chloride) commercial roofs are the original heat-welded single-ply roofing systems ? they' been around for more than 50 years. They're durable, flexible, and either fully adhered or mechanically fastened. PVC roofs are excellent at resisting rooftop chemicals, oils, greases, and industrial byproducts ? this is their most distinguishing feature when compared to other single-ply commercial roofing systems.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolym er (EPDM) commercial roofs are highly resilient and popular for low-slope roofs, although they're being installed less frequently lately. They're made of a durable synthetic rubber membrane that typically consists of two main ingredients ? ethylene and propylene. The membrane is either black or white, available in different thicknesses, and comes in widths ranging from ten to 50 feet.
An EPDM system may be fully adhered (glued), attached mechanically, or ballasted (held in place by gravel or another heavy material). The seams are sealed with a liquid adhesive or specialty tape.

The process of installing a silicone restoration membrane is relatively straightforward.
1.) First, an infrared inspection should be performed to see if there are any saturated areas of insulation under the membrane. After those saturated areas have been removed and replaced, the entire roof surface is power washed clean to remove any contaminants.
2.) After the primer has been installed, the seams of the membrane are then reinforced.
3.) Once all of the miscellaneous repairs have been performed to the existing roof system, the silicone membrane is simply sprayed on or roller applied over the entire surface of the roof.
4.) After the silicone coating membrane has been completed, a final inspection will be performed by a third-party or the manufacturer’s representative to verify all the necessary repairs were performed properly and the silicone is applied accurately. When the repairs and silicone membrane coating are approved, the final warranty is issued.
