What Are PVC Roofs?
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, an industrial compound known for its durable flexibility. When a PVC roof is properly applied, it delivers decades of reliable benefits. These systems are lab-proven to resist fire, chemical, and wind damage. PVC is also easy to mould so it’s a great choice for buildings with complicated rooftop utilities.
PVC roofing membranes are single-ply, which means they only have one layer. Some flat roofing systems rely on multi-layer membranes to provide comprehensive protection. However, a PVC system delivers powerful performance from just a single layer. You can reduce your environmental impact with PVC roofs since they require fewer materials. Other ecological benefits include lowered energy usage, solar reflectivity, temperature modulation, and VOC-free installation.

How Are PVC Roofs Made?
PVC is one of the world’s most popular plastic products. This thermostatic compound is created by combining vinyl chloride monomers. The resulting PVC is originally a rigid, white substance that’s both lightweight and rigid. You might recognize this type of rigid PVC from applications like pipes, bank cards, packaging materials, and more.
Additives, plasticizers, and other agents are added to the PVC used for roofing membranes. These additives make PVC flexible and easy to mould while preserving its other qualities. Since additives are a normal part of manufacturing PVC, these systems are easy to customize to your precise needs. Once the combination is just right, PVC is rolled into long roofing membranes that are ready to transport to your job site.

Mechanically Fastened PVC Roofing Systems
When you choose a mechanically fastened PVC roofing system, the roofing membrane will be attached to your building with a range of high-quality physical fasteners and plates. This equipment gives the system additional strength and flexibility. Mechanically fastened systems are ideal if your project requires high dimensional stability. PVC roofs can be applied using induction welding to bond the fasteners and plates, making this a non-intrusive roofing option. You can further customize your results with a range of insulation layers that sit between the roofing deck and the final PVC coat.

Fully Adhered PVC Roofing Systems
A fully adhered PVC roof is attached to your building using a full-coverage layer of industrial adhesive. Instead of using physical fasteners and plates, fully adhered systems are held in place with long-lasting, durable glue. Fully adhered PVC roofs deliver improved protection from impacts, high winds, water damage, and more. A fully adhered system is a strategic choice for any building that takes the brunt of an Edmonton winter. These systems are also smart options for buildings with heavy rooftop foot traffic. Whether you host rooftop events, use a helipad, or simply have regular contractor visits, fully adhered systems can handle heavy use.
Induction Welded PVC Roofing Systems
Induction welded PVC systems take the benefits of a mechanically fastened roof to the next level. An induction welded roof also uses mechanical fasteners and plates to attach the PVC membrane to your other roofing layers. However, these systems go a step further. Our team bonds your fasteners and plates in place with a portable electric welder. Induction welded PVC roofs deliver long-lasting protection against wind, weather, impact, and other hazards.
