PVC systems

PVC roofing membranes offer durable, flexible barriers against the elements. They’re energy efficient and relatively low maintenance, as well, making them a great option for commercial properties and other low-slope or flat roofs. Made from polyvinyl chloride, PVC roofs are resistant to chemicals, algae, and other roof concerns.

  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) membranes are extremely versatile and chemical resistant.
  • They come in a variety of colors, thicknesses, widths, and reinforcements, making them a good option for almost any commercial roofing project.
  • Like TPO membranes they are installed with a heat-welded seam which makes them extremely waterproof with the added benefit of being able to withstand harsh chemicals.
