What Is a Single-Ply Roofing System?
Single-ply roofing is a flexible, lightweight membrane system made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin). These sheets are rolled out in large sections, overlapped, and heat-welded to form a seamless, watertight barrier. The result is a roof that resists leaks, reflects heat, and performs well under all weather conditions.
Unlike traditional multi-layer roofing systems, single-ply membranes are faster to install, easier to maintain, and highly cost-effective for flat or low-slope commercial buildings.
Benefits of Single-Ply Roofing
Choosing a single-ply membrane system offers multiple advantages for your building:
Leak-Free Protection
Seams are heat-welded or chemically bonded to create a continuous waterproof layer. This eliminates weak points where leaks typically form.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency
White reflective membranes can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 40%, cutting down on heat absorption and lowering cooling costs during summer. The energy savings often help offset installation costs within the warranty period
Strong Resistance to Weather and Chemicals
Our premium PVC and TPO membranes are engineered to withstand UV rays, wind uplift, hail impact, and a broad range of chemicals found in industrial settings
Low Maintenance and Long Lifespan
With minimal upkeep and resistance to cracking, shrinking, and blistering, single-ply roofs can last 20–25 years or more when properly maintained.
Sustainable Roofing Option
The Installation Process
Our single-ply installation follows industry-proven methods to ensure the best possible performance and longevity:
Roof Preparation
All loose debris, old materials, and damaged sections are removed to prepare a clean substrate.
Boardstock Installation
Insulation or recovery board is installed to create a smooth and stable surface.
Membrane Application
The single-ply membrane is rolled out and overlapped in the direction of water runoff.
Heat-Welded Seams
Seams are welded by hand or with a robotic welder for a tight, waterproof seal.
Edge Sealing and Detailing
All perimeters, curbs, and penetrations are sealed with 360-S® urethane sealant for maximum protection.
Energy Efficiency and Cool Roof Benefits
Our CRRC-rated white roofing systems meet the Cool Roof Rating Council’s strict standards for solar reflectance and thermal emittance. This means your roof not only reduces indoor heat gain but also contributes to a cooler urban environment.
These benefits include:
- Lower air conditioning bills
- Reduced roof surface temperatures
- Increased roof durability
- Minimized the heat island effect
- Fewer materials are sent to landfills through re-coating and restoration
By reflecting up to 89% of the sun’s heat, Conklin’s Single-Ply Roofing Systems can dramatically lower your building’s energy usage and environmental impact.
Long-Term Value and ROI
A Conklin Single-Ply System is an investment that pays for itself. Lower utility bills, fewer maintenance costs, and extended roof life create measurable savings over time. Federal tax credits, rebates, and maintenance deductions may also be available for energy-efficient roofing installations. Always consult with your tax professional or local utility company for details.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a single-ply roof last?
Most professionally installed systems last between 20 and 25 years, depending on materials, climate, and maintenance.
Can a single-ply membrane be installed over an existing roof?
Yes, in many cases. We evaluate your current roof’s structure and condition to determine if a full tear-off or recovery is the better option.
Which is better, PVC or TPO?
Both are excellent choices. PVC offers superior chemical resistance and flexibility, while TPO is known for its cost-efficiency and energy performance. We’ll recommend the best fit for your building’s needs.
