What is Single Ply Membrane Roofing?

If you are wondering, “What is single ply membrane roofing?” We have the answer for you! 

Single ply membrane roofing, also commonly known as TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofing, is a versatile and durable roofing option ideal for both residential and commercial properties. This roofing system consists of a single layer of synthetic and water proof material, providing excellent protection against the elements. It is especially popular for flat or low-slope roofs, offering superior performance and energy efficiency in spots where traditional roofing materials may falter or fail.

Membrane Roofing
Built to Protect Your Home

A single ply membrane roof is constructed with multiple layers, each designed to enhance the roof's durability, weather resistance, and overall performance. Here’s how these layers are built to protect your home or commercial property:

Roof Decking

The foundation of any roofing system, the decking is typically made of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). It provides the structural support needed for the entire roofing system that will be built on top of it. 

Insulation

Installed above the decking, the insulation layer helps regulate the temperature inside the building, improving energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs. Common insulation materials include polyisocyanurate, EPS (expanded polystyrene), and XPS (extruded polystyrene).

Cover Board

This layer provides a smooth, stable surface for the membrane installation. It also adds an extra level of protection and durability to the roofing system.

Single Ply Membrane

The main component of the roofing system, the single ply membrane roof is installed over the cover board. TPO is a popular choice due to its durability, flexibility, and energy efficiency.

Adhesive or Fasteners

Depending on the installation method, the membrane is either adhered to the cover board using a strong adhesive or mechanically fastened with screws and plates. Both methods ensure a secure and durable installation.

Seam Sealing

Seams between membrane sheets are sealed using heat welding or chemical bonding, creating a watertight barrier that prevents leaks and water infiltration into your home or business. 

Flashing and Edge Details

Proper flashing and edge details around roof penetrations, such as vents, skylights, and chimneys, are crucial for preventing water intrusion and ensuring the roof’s longevity.

Options for Single Ply Membrane Roofing

Single ply membrane roofing comes in various types, each with specific advantages:
commercial shingle and tpo

Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO)

TPO roofing is highly durable, resistant to UV rays, and energy efficient. It is available in various thicknesses and colors, allowing customization based on specific needs.
pvc roof

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

PVC roofing offers excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for commercial properties exposed to harsh substances. It also provides strong seams and long-term durability.
epdm roof

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)

EPDM roofing is known for its exceptional weather resistance and flexibility, even in extreme temperatures. It is typically black but can be coated with reflective materials to enhance energy efficiency.

Benefits of Choosing Single Ply Membrane Roofing

Opting for single ply roofing installation offers numerous benefits for homeowners and commercial clients in Oregon.

Durability & Lifespan

Single ply membrane roofs are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and UV exposure. They offer long-lasting protection, with a typical lifespan of 20-30 years.

Energy Efficiency

TPO and other single ply membranes reflect sunlight, reducing heat buildup and lowering cooling costs, while also working to retain heat in cooler months. This makes them an energy-efficient choice for any property.

Ease of Installation

Single ply membrane roofing installation is relatively quick and straightforward, reducing labor costs and project timelines. This efficiency makes it a cost-effective option for new roofing and re-roofing projects, especially for buildings with flat and low sloped roof areas.

Low Maintenance

These roofing systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional roofing materials. Regular inspections and occasional cleanings help maintain their performance and longevity.

Flexibility

Single ply membranes are flexible and can accommodate building movements and thermal expansion without cracking or splitting. This flexibility ensures a secure and reliable roofing system.
