Testing proves it’s slow to ignite, quick to self-extinguish, and ideal for use with rooftop solar panels

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, construction and demolition waste from buildings totals more than 300 billion pounds annually.

PVC can readily be heated and reprocessed without significant loss of key physical properties

Overheated cities can be transformed by roofing with higher reflection rates […]

The goal of this groundbreaking initiative is to further increase the amount of PVC roofing production scrap that is recycled to reduce materials that end up in landfills and get as close to zero as possible as an industry.

Embodied carbon has emerged as a critical consideration as the construction industry continues its mission of increasing sustainability.

The benefits of cool roofs are more or less universally accepted in warmer climates. However, some have questioned the merits of using them in northern regions where temperatures plummet in the fall and winter.

What makes PVC so durable? The Chemical Fabrics and Film Association – Vinyl Roofing Division, the trade association for the material, says it comes down to four major factors: heat-welded seams, combustion resistance, watertightness, and wind uplift rating.

PVC (vinyl) roofing is the high-performing, low-slope, single-ply roofing solution that is all these things and more.

According to the U.S. EPA, an estimated 332 billion pounds of construction and demolition waste are generated annually.
