Your roof is the first line of defence for your home against everything Mother Nature can throw at it. Single-ply roofing provides protection in several ways while also giving you an eco-friendly alternative that helps conserve energy use inside your home.
Single-ply roofing is a little bit more expensive than the more traditional flat felt roofing, but will save you a great deal of money during the lifetime of the roof, it will last much longer than old fashioned shingle roofing.
For larger, commercial buildings or rental units, it eliminates the need to heat up big vats of tar or other sealers, it's also cleaner and neater too which is a bonus. The bigger benefits of single-ply roofing are the energy savings this type of roofing provides. It insulates better than liquid sealers and it doesn't allow leaks the way shingle roofing does.
The leakage that happens in other types of roofing products not only endanger you're home or commercial building with incoming water, but they also allow drafts into and out of the building at the same time. This makes it harder to control the environment inside. It's also easier to install in unusual roofing layouts, so if you are willing to spend a little bit extra, this really should be you're number one choice!
