The roof was always associated with slate, then the market was updated and ondulin appeared along with metal tiles. Now, a huge part of the modern market is occupied by a membrane roof, which begins to displace other materials. This is evidenced by the results of recent studies. That is, the positive aspects of such roofing material were appreciated by many people. Many construction companies are now most often interested only in PVC membrane.
What caused this interest? What are the main features of the material, and if there are flaws?
Before choosing one or another roofing material, you should familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of each of them in detail. If all of the above roofing materials have long been known to builders, then the PVC membrane is a relatively new material, which is worth talking about in more detail. The main advantages include:
- Durability - with the right production technology and compliance with all norms, the membrane lasts more than fifty years, it is important not to damage it when laying the material. Due to its structure, the membrane contributes to the stability of the structure, which in the first place actually increases the service life;
- A variety of types and sizes. A modern manufacturer offers a huge selection of forms of a roofing membrane, so any consumer will definitely choose the best option for himself. The thickness of the piece reaches fifteen centimeters, and the length of one piece is up to 60 meters.
These factors greatly simplify the work, and due to the minimum number of joints with proper installation, the risk of leaks is completely eliminated. It is also worth saying that the coating is waterproofing.
- Incredible performance. The PVC membrane practically does not expose to an open flame, severe frosts on the roofing are also not terrible. Even with sharp temperature jumps, the characteristics remain unchanged. Another advantage is the fact that direct sunlight is not harmful to the roof membrane.
In addition to all the above positive qualities, it is worth saying that it is quite simple to work with the material. The membrane is light, so carrying out various kinds of manipulations will not be difficult.
Of course, there are some disadvantages:
- The high cost of the material - such a roof will cost one and a half times more than other used material;
- The membrane does not tolerate compositions based on bitumen and solvent; it adversely affects the material.
