Commercial building owners who have a flat or almost flat roof often turn to vinyl membranes to cover it. This material is frequently referred to as PVC because its full name is thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride. It comes in long and flexible sheets that a Vinyl Roofing Service can easily install. There are many benefits to using this roofing material. PVC resists tears and is waterproof. Heat-welded seams are durable and do not allow water to seep below. Vinyl roofing can stand up to constant dampness and even ponding water. Any bacteria or fungus that may result from this water are not able to penetrate it. These roofs can also be designed to withstand the winds of a Category 3 hurricane. Vinyl is also fire-resistant. If it does ignite, it burns very slowly.
While every building owner wants a strong and reliable roof, they also want an attractive roof to showcase their business. The roofing company can work with their client to create a roof to complement every design and color scheme. Vinyl is usually available in the neutral colors of white, beige or gray. However, it is possible to easily customize the color during the manufacturing process. The color can be matched to paint chips provided by architects or designers. The result is a material that looks like a much more expensive roof covering. Because it is so easy to work with vinyl sheets, it is easy to create a rooftop logo or design. Shapes are cut out of various colors of vinyl and then welded together to form the desired pattern.
The flexibility of vinyl makes it easy to cover complex roof shapes, allowing the roofer to accommodate the most creative roof design. If desired, different colors and shades can be used to accent architectural roof features. Vinyl is the perfect example of a durable building material that can be used in a very creative manner.
