Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) roofing membranes are common for commercial roofs, although it’s sometimes used for residential projects. As a single-ply white membrane, PVC reflects heat from the sun, which prevents damage from YV rays. PVC roofing is excellent at keeping a building cool and reducing energy bills. These are traits similar to TPO roofing, but there are differences between these two materials.
When you need a waterproof membrane, PVC is a great choice, especially for flat and low slope roofs since water doesn’t run off easily.
If your roof has a pitch below 2:12, you’ll have to install some kind of waterproof membrane instead of asphalt shingles in order to follow building codes.
PVC roofing can achieve a strong lifespan of up to 25 years when installed properly and maintained. However, each installation will be different, and the lifespan will depend on several factors, including how much the roof is hit by direct sun.
