Single Ply Roofs

Why Choose Single-Ply Roofing?

Single-Ply Roofing has been used since the late 1970s for many buildings in the UK: Airports, Hospitals, Schools, Supermarkets, and even Sports Stadiums.  In recent years, it's also become a popular roofing choice for housing.

Single-Ply Roofing is made from flexible and resilient membranes.   It is durable and a complete roofing solution that will keep heat in while keeping wind and rain out.

There are three basic types of single-ply roofing systems:

• Warm Deck
  A warm deck system has a single-ply membrane laid over a base layer of thermal insulation. The insulation sits on top of a vapour control layer (VCL). This system is effective at keeping the roof decking warm during cold weather, reducing condensation, and preventing water vapour from getting into the insulation.
• Inverted Warm Deck
  The inverted warm deck system is similar to warm deck, except that it further protects the single-ply roofing with unique weather-resistant insulation placed above each layer and held in place with stones or paving.
• Cold Deck
  The cold deck system is traditional and cost-effective for flat roofing. It involves placing the waterproof membrane directly onto the roof decking. Insulation is then laid under the deck.
