TAP THE EXPERTISE OF SINGLE PLY ROOFING AUTHORITIES
Representing all of the leading manufacturers of vinyl roofing systems in North America, the Vinyl Roofing Division of the Chemical Fabrics and Film
Association is committed to educating architects, specifiers, building owners and roofing contractors on the attributes of PVC as the preferred
material for reflective, durable, single ply roofing systems.
THE PERFORMANCE LEADER
For more than 40 years, durable, light-colored vinyl roofing membranes have cooled and protected buildings in climates around the world.
Their long life cycle – and the associated lower energy consumption to both produce the raw material and process it into useful products – is
a significant factor in their sustainability as a building product.

Get Ready for Title 24 Changes
In January 2010, updates to California’s Title 24 Energy Code will go into effect. These changes were previously scheduled to be adopted August 2009. For the first time, aged values for solar reflectance will be used for products that are registered with Cool Roof Rating Council. Enforcement will occur according to climate zones, and a solar reflective index (SRI) will become an alternative to meeting separate solar reflectance and emittance requirements. The most complete version of the proposed regulations can be downloaded and reviewed here:
Avoiding the Landfill: The Recycling of Vinyl Roof Membranes
Skyrocketing raw material costs, higher landfill tipping fees, legislation
to restrict disposal of construction materials, and an architectural community that demands the lightest environmental footprint
that that a building can achieve. Find out what the industry is doing with a program to mainstream post-consumer recycling
of PVC roofs that have reached the end of their service lives.
