What is Single-Ply Roofing?

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.

Three Types of Single-Ply Roofing

Single-ply roofing comes in three main types:

  • PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
  • EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer)
  • TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin)

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:
