PVC Performance
Thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane roofing, also known as vinyl roofing, is the high performing, low slope roofing solution. For more than 40 years, durable, light-colored PVC roofing membranes have protected and helped keep buildings cool in climates around the world. PVC membranes’ inherent strength, waterproofing ability and fire-resistance make them a durable roofing material. 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.
