What is PVC?

PVC (short for polyvinyl chloride) is a type of material used mainly in commercial roofing. It is, similarly to TPO, a type of thermoplastic material created by the process of polymerization of chemical products made from the chemical treatment of natural gasses or petroleum and salt. The polymer product is then molded into sheets later to be used to cover a commercial or an industrial building.

Being on the market for several decades now, PVC roofing has been tested numerous times and it is still continually being used as a commercial roofing material, which means the customers have recognized the high quality and endurance PVC has to offer. The process of PVC production is being continuously modernized and the results speak for themselves – it is one of the most popular materials used in commercial roofing.

How Can PVC Roofing Benefit Your Building

The secret to PVC’s durability lies in its production – the hot air welding used to bind the membranes together is very strong, even stronger than the membrane itself, which makes it exceptionally waterproof. You won’t have to worry about water leaking from your roof since its endurance does not allow any liquid to pass through. Its flexibility lies in the fact that the physical properties of PVC allow it to be used in commercial roofing basically in any type of climate.

The UV inhibitors added to PVC roofing enable stronger and reliable protection from UV radiation. The bright surface colors of PVC roofing play an important role in energy efficiency, keeping the areas under the roofing systems cool, which brings to more budget savings when it comes to energy costs. While dark-colored roofs vastly increase in temperatures when exposed to direct sunlight, the increase of temperature of a PVC roofing is minimal.

The chemical properties of PVC allow it to resist any type of grease, oil or other acidic or abrasive chemical compounds. This makes it optimal for PVC roofing to be installed on top of facilities using those kinds of chemicals, such as restaurants and factories. Its resistance to both hot and cold temperatures is also one of the reasons commercial building owners install PVC roofings.

Its average lifespan is about 20 years, but with proper installation and treatment it can live up to 30 years, making it a fairly good long-term investment for those who don’t want to replace their roofing systems very often.
