PVC Membrane Roofing – Main Advantages and Benefits

PVC waterproofing brings many benefits to construction buildings. Belows is summary of PVC membrane roof advantages.

• Reliable Heat-Welded Seams – Thermo fused. Seams areas offer high strength and extreme reliability.
• Proven performance – More than 40 years & independently rated. Excess 350 million square meter roof areas installed worldwide.
• Good low temperature flexibility and high temperature tolerance – Insensitivity to hot/cold cycles.
• Cost effective – Low life cycle costs, including reduced expenses for energy and maintenance.
• Design flexibility – Freedom to design the roof. No limitation to creativity and yet functional roof system. E.g. roof pitch can be 0deg. Stagnant Water is not effecting the performance of the Membrane.
• Fire resistant – Does not contribute to the spread of flames because of its inherent self extinguishing properties.
• Energy efficient – White color membrane. Reflective Energy Smart Roof is Energy Star approved and proven to save thousands in cooling costs. E.g. Grey colour membrane has 43% of solar reflectivity.
• Resistant to root growth and micro-organisms – Certified by FLL for root resistance membrane.
• Chemical resistant – Able to withstand prolonged exposure to numerous industrial wastes and chemicals including some oils. Thermoplastic by nature are corrosion free product.
• Easy to repair – Should mechanically damage occurs; it can be easily found and repaired.
• Quick and easy installation – Membrane come in standard 2m wide x 25m length. Resulting less join/seams; reduce wastages during installation and less installation time.
• High vapour transmission – Vapour permeability. Excellent feature particularly for re-roofing over existing worn off waterproofing membrane and wet substrates. No blistering problem.
• Adaptability to structure movement – Dimensional stability.
• UV resistant – Resistance to weathering and ultraviolet rays.
• Lacquer finish layer – Help to repel airborne dirt on membrane surface.
• Easy to handle detailing parts – PVC membrane can be stretched and moulded to flash vent stacks, corners or other details.
• Re-roofing project – Easy, fast & clean installation; No removal cost (existing waterproofing); No disturbance to occupier
• Light weight builds up roof system – Membrane is only 1.6kg/m2.
