Residential Roofing: Low Slope Roofing Options

Low slope (or “flat”) roofing technology has come a long way in the past decade. Today, there are several economical and durable solutions that not only help reduce home energy costs, but also provide a virtually maintenance free solution.

Single-Ply PVC
As its name suggests, Single-Ply PVC is a single layer flexible membrane, often composed of thermoset, thermoplastic, or polymer modified bituminous compounds. This low slope solution provides several benefits, including its light weight, longevity and flexibility.

  

There are many types of single-ply products, most of them designated by the initials of their principal chemical compound. For example, PVC (poly-vinyl-chloride) is one popular single-ply membrane material. Another rubber-like membrane is EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer). With these choices, it is imperative that the selection is tailored to the specific project.

Cold Process SBS Modified Roofing System
Cold Process is a continuous, semi-flexible roof membrane consisting of one or more layers of felts, mats or other reinforcement fabrics that are laminated together with alternate layers of liquid—usually asphalt-solvent based roof cements or adhesives—applied at ambient or a slightly elevated temperature.

Properly applied cold-adhered modified bitumen membrane systems achieve superior interply bond strengths and long-term rooftop performance than oxidized-asphalt applications.
