Over the past 30 years, single ply roofing systems have quickly been gaining popularity and rightfully so as they are flexible, easily installed, and are competitively priced – what more could a building owner want? However, one important benefit that roofs offer is making your building more energy-efficient as well. Single ply roofing membranes usually consist of a light-colored surface that reflects the suns UV rays. With all of these key benefits, it’s no wonder so many building owners and property managers are choosing single ply roofing systems for their go-to roofing substrate.

Popular Single Ply Roofing Membrane Types
Single ply membranes are usually categorized into two groups. Thermosets and Thermoplastics.
While they both have their benefits, let’s compare the two.
Thermosets
• Synthetic Rubber Polymer – most commonly used EPDM, CSPE and Neoprene
• Ideal for larger roofs – Their larger manufacturing size reduces seams
• Increased UV Protection with either carbon black as an additional component or titanium dioxide.
