Single Ply Roofing Membranes

Durability

Single ply roofing membranes are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and UV exposure. Their flexible yet robust construction ensures long term performance and minimal maintenance requirements.

Lightweight

Being lightweight means single ply systems exert minimal pressure on the building's structure. This helps ensure structural integrity and reduces the need for additional support. Membranes such as RESITRIX come in 20m rolls and are easy to carry.

Versatility

Whether you're constructing a flat roof or a pitched roof, single ply membranes can be easily adapted to suit various roof designs and shapes. They can also accommodate rooftop accessories such as vents, skylights, and HVAC units, making them ideal for commercial and industrial buildings.

Energy Efficiency

Many single ply roofing membranes are designed to reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs during the summer months. This energy-efficient feature not only improves comfort levels indoors but also contributes to lower utility bills over time.

Quick Installation

Unlike traditional roofing systems that require multiple layers and lengthy installation processes, single ply membranes can be installed quickly and efficiently. This can help minimise disruption to your property and reduce labour costs associated with roof installation.

Environmentally Friendly

PVC and TPO membranes are recyclable materials, making single ply roofing a sustainable choice for eco conscious property owners. By opting for a recyclable roofing solution, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener environment.

The image below illustrates the layers of a single ply roofing membrane from RESITRIX®. As you can see, it contains all the layers of a multi-ply roofing membrane but all within one single layer.

Single ply roofing membranes have been designed by engineers to deliberately use only one single layer of synthetic polymer whilst ensuring the membrane maintains all the benefits of a multi-layer membrane.

The single ply membranes are then sealed at the joints to create a continuous waterproof layer and form a complete and durable roofing system that can withstand adverse weather and falling debris.

Each single layer membrane can range from 1.1mm to +2mm making the single layer roofing membranes the ideal solution for projects where there are concerns about weight bearing capacity.

Circular sustainability in construction is a methodology aimed at reducing carbon emissions, extending performance with the ability to return the benefits back to the value chain at the end of their initial service life.

By maximising the lifespan, minimising waste, and promoting resource recovery, this roofing system contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible building industry.

The combination of single ply membranes from HERTALAN® Easy Cover EPDM membranes and the induction fixing method provides a compelling approach to achieving circularity in construction.

Durability and Longevity: EPDM membranes are renowned for their exceptional durability, with a lifespan of over 50 years. This extended service life minimises the need for frequent replacements, reducing the overall consumption of resources and generating less waste.

Recyclability: EPDM is a fully recyclable material, allowing for the recovery and reprocessing of post-consumer roofing membranes. This closed loop recycling process conserves resources and reduces the demand for virgin materials.

Removable and Reusable: The CARLISLE® induction fixing method enables membranes to be easily removed without damaging them. This allows for the membranes to be reused in other applications, further extending their lifecycle and reducing waste.

End-of-Life Recycling: Even at the end of their extended lifespan, EPDM membranes can be recycled into high-quality granules which can be used to manufacture new roofing membranes or other products. This continuous recycling process further minimises the environmental impact.

Mechanical Attachment: The induction fixing method eliminates the need for adhesives or solvents, reducing the reliance on hazardous chemicals and their associated environmental impact.

Non-Penetrative Fixing: Unlike mechanical fasteners that penetrate the membrane, induction fixing maintains the integrity of the EPDM and TPO membranes, ensuring its recyclability and extending its lifespan.

Reversible Fixing: The induction-fixed membranes can be easily detached and reused, further promoting circularity and resource conservation.

Durable Attachment: The induction fixing method provides a strong and durable bond between the membrane and the substrate, ensuring long term performance and minimising the need for repairs or replacements.
