low-slope and Flat ROOFing Systems

TPO is a Single-Ply System. TPO roofing membranes are made of a blend of ethylene-propylene rubber and polypropylene, which makes them strong, flexible, and durable. They are available in a variety of thicknesses and widths, and can be installed using a variety of methods including mechanically attached, fully adhered, and ballasted.

One of the main benefits of TPO roofing membranes is their energy efficiency. They reflect UV rays and heat, which helps to reduce cooling costs during hot weather. Additionally, TPO roofing membranes are resistant to punctures, tears, and chemicals, which makes them a popular choice for industrial and commercial roofs.

TPO roofing membranes are also known for their ease of installation, which can reduce labor costs and installation time. They are also available in a variety of colors, including white, gray, and tan, which allows for greater design flexibility.

Overall, TPO roofing membranes are a durable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective option for commercial and industrial roofing applications, and they are starting to make their way into the residential side of roofing.

PVC is a Single-Ply System. PVC roofing membranes are made of a single layer of PVC material that is reinforced with polyester or fiberglass. The material is available in large sheets and can be installed using a variety of methods, including mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted.

One of the main benefits of PVC roofing membranes is their durability. They are resistant to punctures, tears, and chemicals, and can withstand a range of temperatures and weather conditions. PVC roofing membranes are also fire-resistant and have a Class A fire rating.

PVC roofing membranes are also known for their energy efficiency. They reflect UV rays and heat, which helps to reduce cooling costs during hot weather. Additionally, PVC roofing membranes are available in a variety of colors, including white, tan, and gray, which allows for greater design flexibility.

PVC roofing membranes are easy to install and require minimal maintenance. They can last for up to 30 years with proper installation and maintenance.

Overall, PVC roofing membranes are a durable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective option for commercial and industrial roofing applications.

SBS/MBR is a 2-Ply SYstem. SBS roofing membranes are made of a mixture of asphalt and SBS rubber, which gives them a high level of flexibility and durability. The material is available in rolls and can be installed using a variety of methods, including torch-applied, cold-applied, or self-adhering.

One of the main benefits of SBS roofing membranes is their ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. They are resistant to UV rays, ozone, and other environmental factors that can cause damage to other roofing materials. SBS roofing membranes also have excellent waterproofing properties and can withstand heavy foot traffic.

Overall, SBS roofing membranes are a flexible, durable, and long-lasting option for low-slope and flat roof systems. They are ideal for commercial and industrial roofing applications that require a high level of performance and durability.

BUR is a 3 or 4-Ply System. “Building Up” of layers involving asphalt, tar, or other materials to provide durability and protect from water seepage. This method is fading in popularity as it uses hot tar in kettles that poses safety concerns other methods don't.
