Single-Ply Roofing

EPDM single-ply membranes have been the commercial roofing industry’s material of choice for nearly half a century. Today, we offer the most high-performance, energy-efficient, sustainable and innovative line of EPDM membranes and accessories on the market. From Factory-Applied Tape for stronger, more dependable seams to the industry’s only ENERGY-STAR®-qualified EPDM membrane. So when you need a sustainable, long-lasting rooftop, look no further than the single-ply membrane with nearly a half-century track record of performance and durability > EPDM.

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is the fastest-growing segment of the commercial roofing industry, and we are able to offer this type of roofing material. TPO white and tan membranes are ENERGY STAR®-qualified and Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)-certified, and have been directly attributed to a reduction in energy use and cooling costs for buildings in warm climates.

Advantages:

Cost Effective

Application techniques offer fast track installation on every project specified, creating real value by reducing site labour time. Additionally the rapid installation programme often permits early fit-out below, keeping work to programme and reducing the time to completion and hand-over.
The lightweight system allows for other building materials and structural steel to be reduced at the building’s conceptual stage.
Single ply is ideal for new build or refurbishment projects.

Durable

Hot air welding for the seams provides a strong and reliable bond that is well recognised in the single ply roofing industry. The fused overlapping membrane sheets provide a homogenous layer and total waterproofing security.
With high tensile strength in excess of 1200N for Thermoplan and 1100N for Thermofol, the closed fibre pre-coated polyester cross-weave reinforces the membranes and makes them resistant to tears and punctures.
The membranes have been developed to withstand climatic extremes and temperature shocks.

Chemically Resistant

Our use of high quality polymers and constituents in the formula ensures the membranes remain flexible to at least -30 degrees centigrade.

Flame-free installation

The seams are thermally welded with hot air replacing traditional torching methods, bringing its installation in line with the outlook for safety conscious practice.

Resistant to Natural Elements

The integrated woven lattice reinforcements within the membrane, together with the high performance fastening system and strong homogenous welded seams combine to eliminate the risk of wind uplift failure.
The reflective pearl white finish of the Thermoplan pearl-white membrane reduces solar gain, minimising thermal and structural movement in the construction.
The FPO and PVC formulations ensure full resistance to micro-organism attack which is vital to their success in ballasted or green roof situations.

Fire Resistance

To provide maximum fire resistance, our formulation includes a high performance halogen-free fire retardant which means the membrane carries a FAB fire rating.
Our choice of fire retardant reduces the volume of product required allowing for a greater percentage of active polymer in the formulation.

Environmental Credentials

Thermoplan T contains no heavy metals, halogens or plasticisers.
Thermoplan T has one of the lowest production embodied energy values.
The reflectivity of Thermoplan T reduces solar gain and contributes to energy conservation within the building.

Practical Sustainability

Thermoplan T is 100% recyclable and can be reprocessed at our manufacturing plant.
PVC membranes can be recycled and converted in to other components such as protective or separation layers for roofs.
Putting an extensive green roof on top of a single ply system provides an area of natural habitat for plants and small wildlife.
An extensive green roof will protect the waterproofing membrane from climatic extremes, ultra-violet light and mechanical damage, significantly increasing the life expectancy of the system.
With an extensive green roof, all the additional environmental benefits are gained including reduction in rain water run-off which humidifies the air helping to reduce the ‘heat island’ effect.
An extensive green roof, ballasted or paved finish will considerably reduce sound from both inside and outside the building.
