PVC Roofing Costs Are Very Low

When installation and materials are taken into account, national averages per square foot can range from $3 to $4,59. On the higher end, it typically ranges between $4.50 and $6 per square foot. Even at the top of the price range, the relative low cost of this material in comparison to the many benefits it offers makes it a viable option for both large-scale commercial projects and smaller residential flat roofs.

Unlike TPO roofing, which is new to the market, PVC roofs have a long and successful track record in the industry and have consistently maintained an excellent level of performance over time. With a service life of at least 30 years, and in some cases up to 50 or 60 years or more, there is little reason to be concerned about the need to replace a roof in the near future.

PVC Roof Installation

PVC roofs have several advantages over other types of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles and metal panels. They are manufactured with fewer raw materials, reducing environmental impact, and they last longer than other roofing materials. They are also less expensive to maintain and look nice when installed on the outside of a business. When compared to TPO, their disadvantage is the higher material cost, which compensates for the superior quality. PVC can also be used for roofing, both commercial and residential.

Leak and Moisture Resistance

A PVC roofing membrane provides an extremely secure and waterproofing membrane that eliminates any risk of leakage or damage from multiple seam failures. This is especially important when you consider the fact that they are often installed on low-slope roofs where a single failure along a lower edge could lead to water penetration resulting in major problems for your business.

A Low Maintenance Flat Roofing Option in Semmes

PVC roofs are very low-maintenance which makes them a top choice for commercial building owners who want to avoid the process of re-roofing. The smooth surface is naturally resistant to algae growth so your roof will stay looking newer, longer without costly cleaning or power-washing treatments that are required with other types of materials.

PVC roofs are also naturally resistant to rotting. This makes them ideal for regions that tend to get lots of rain or snowfall since they do not collect water in pockets like other roofing surfaces do. The absence of exposed seams reduces the risk of damage from wind events or debris collection compared with other types of single-ply roofing materials like EPDM or TPO membrane.

Lightweight Rubber Roofing

The lightweight nature of PVC roofing materials makes them easier to transport and install than other types of roofing materials. The material comes in rolls so it is easier to transport, which makes installation possible for most commercial building owners without the need to hire a contractor. Also, it means that you need less support during installation since the material itself is lightweight and doesn't need as much bracing to keep it secure on your business's surface.

Storm, Hail, and High Wind Resistance

The combination of the extremely wind-resistant nature of PVC with its seamless construction makes it an ideal choice for businesses that are located in areas with frequent strong winds or hurricanes. Since they are typically installed at a low slope, they create a smooth surface where loose debris cannot collect and potentially cause damage during high-wind events. 

Fire Resistance

PVC roofs are rated higher than the ratings for TPO and EPDM. It is a good choice for kitchens that have a lot of cooking and eating going on. It allows most of the sun to reflect inside and can prevent too much heat from building up inside your kitchen.

The high heat and fire resistance of PVC roofs make them especially useful for business in wildfire areas, as well as those protected by fire sprinkler systems. Since the material does not char like other roofing surfaces such as wood shingles do when exposed to heat or flame, PVC roofs can help protect your business from damage due to fire.

Energy Efficiency

A PVC roofing system come in dark and light colors. Light color PVC roofs reflect UV sunlight, reducing the likelihood of damage to your furniture and other items caused by excess heat buildup indoors. Dark color PVC membranes are energy-efficient at absorbing sunlight, which helps with heating your business in cold climates. The material is good at trapping heat in your business during winter. In our area, white membrane is a better option due to our extreme heat.
