PVC’s (Polyvinyl chloride)
popularity stems from its dependable, heat-welded seams,
high reflectivity, superior physical attributes.
PVC is a flexible, thermoplastic membrane manufactured
using an ultraviolet-resistant polyvinyl chloride that
delivers a pliable and durable sheet with excellent
weathering characteristics that are resistance to harsh
chemicals and industrial pollutants, and resistance to
water, grease, fire and punctures. A unique lacquer
coating is applied to the top of the membrane which
gives your roof a “self cleaning” feature that resists
staining from airborne dirt and pollutants. PVC
roofing membranes are the ideal long-term solution for
roofs that demand high performance at a lower life cycle
cost.
Our Sika brand PVC is very durable
and able to withstand the constant expansion and
contraction of the building structure throughout the
day, throughout its life. A properly heat-welded seam is
a much better seam than a glued or taped seam. And the
reason why PVC membranes are most often heat-welded at
the seams is because of the strength, durability, and
stability of the material. (Unlike TPO, which is very
difficult to heat-weld properly because of the
inferiority of the membrane's quality.)
PVC is relatively light and can be
purchased in milages between 36 and 90 mils (a mil is
0.001 of an inch; 45 mils equal 0.045 inches). The
standard PVC roofing membrane is between 40 and 60 mils.
Though the primary color of a PVC roofing membrane is
white, it can come in a variety of colors and hues. It
also has excellent resistance to bacterial growth,
animal fats, as well as plant roof penetrations

membranes offer the following benefits:
- Vapor permeable
