MRC has a proven track record in designing and installing single-ply roofing systems. Our skilled expertise and excellent craftsmanship guarantee you’ll get a high-quality roof that’s properly installed–on time and on budget.
Single-ply roofing consists of flexible membranes that are used on low-slope and flat buildings. Made of compounded materials derived from plastics, these membranes are manufactured in a factory to ensure they meet strict quality requirements.
In recent years, the durability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness of single-ply roofing have led to a downward trend in the use of tarpaper and other older, less effective materials.
EPDM Installation Options
An EPDM roof can be fastened mechanically, fully adhered, or ballasted to offer higher membrane protection and a reduction in thermal mass. The ample width of EPDM means fewer seams and faster installation, and it can be used on new roofs and on re-roofing projects.

Single-ply roofing comes in three main types:
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
- TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin)
- EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer)
Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages, but all are good choices for a variety of applications due to their flexibility, weather and fire resistance, and energy efficiency.
The chart below indicates how each ranks on a variety of ASTM requirements:
Installation Options
Single-ply roofing can be installed in one of four ways:
- Ballasted
- Mechanically Attached
- Fully Adhered
- Induction-welded, when possible
This versatility makes single-ply roofing a practical choice for even the most challenging architecture. The sheets are large, so installation goes quickly.
