SINGLE PLY MEMBRANE ROOFING FAQS
What is single ply roofing?
Single ply membrane roofing is a synthetic, waterproof material suitable for many types and shapes of roof. The material is lightweight and can be installed quickly but is still durable and copes well under a wide range of climatic conditions.
What are different types of single ply membranes?
There are five types of single ply membrane available:
• PVC (Polyvinyl chloride);
• EPDM (Ethylene propylene diene monomer);
• TPO (Thermoplastic polyolefin);
• TPE (Thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer);
• PIB (Polyisobutylene).
Our expert team will advise on the best type for your roofing project.

If installed by a reputable roofing company, you can expect a single ply membrane to last 25-40 years.
