Single Ply Membrane PVC

Why Seattle Homeowners Choose PVC Single-Ply Membrane Roofing

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) roofing systems offer excellent durability, leak protection, and energy efficiency—especially for flat-roof homes, garages, ADUs, and commercial buildings. It’s a proven performer in wet, windy climates like the Seattle area. Welded seams eliminate weak points, while the white surface reflects sunlight, reducing energy use and extending the life of your roof.

Visual Appeal That Fits Any Style

PVC membranes offer a clean, modern look—usually in white or light gray. While most installations are function-first, the sleek surface creates a tidy finish on garages, flat-roof homes, and commercial buildings. Edge details and custom trim options help integrate the system visually with your structure.

Built for Our Climate

PVC roofing is made to handle heavy rain, standing water, and moss-prone environments. The heat-welded seams form a watertight barrier that resists leaks better than adhesives or tapes. It also resists mold, algae, and ponding—making it ideal for Seattle’s wet, overcast conditions.

Energy-Wise and Cost-Savvy

The reflective surface of PVC roofing deflects solar heat, keeping buildings cooler in warmer months. This helps reduce HVAC use and lowers energy bills, especially for large surface areas like commercial roofs or modern homes with low slopes.

Durable & Wind-Ready

PVC membranes resist punctures, wind uplift, and impact. Many systems are rated to withstand winds up to 130+ mph. The material remains flexible in cold weather and won’t crack or shrink—ensuring long-term performance in Seattle’s variable conditions.

Eco-Sensible with a Lower Weight

PVC is lightweight, so it won’t overload older structures or require extra framing. Some products are recyclable or manufactured with post-consumer materials, helping reduce environmental impact. Fewer tear-offs also mean less waste sent to landfills.

Easy Care & Safe

These roofs require very little maintenance—just periodic cleaning and inspection of drains and seams. PVC is fire-resistant and often meets or exceeds Class A fire ratings. Its chemical resistance also makes it ideal for buildings with rooftop HVAC systems or kitchen vents.
