What is Single Ply?
Single ply is a synthetic polymer-based material that provides a seamless waterproofing layer in a single sheet. Our roofing experts are installing this versatile material on buildings across the South of England with minimal disruption to daily operations. With its modern and aesthetically pleasing qualities, single ply roofing is a fantastic solution for new builds and refurbishments.
Robust and reliable, single ply is commonly used on schools, hospitals and even residential homes.
Benefits of Single Ply Roofing
Discover the numerous advantages of choosing single ply roofing for your project.
Single-ply roofing membranes are engineered to be highly durable and resistant to various environmental factors such as UV rays and weather extremes. The membrane can be left exposed or covered with ballast or a green roof system.
Many single-ply roofing materials have reflective or "cool roof" properties, which help to reflect a significant portion of the sun's heat away from the building. This can lead to lower cooling costs in warmer months and contribute to overall energy efficiency.
Single ply membranes are designed to be flexible, which allows them to adapt to a building's movement and structural changes without compromising their integrity.
Compared to some traditional flat roofing systems, single ply roofing is relatively easy and quick to install due the system compromising of a single waterproofing layer.
Single ply roofing materials are lightweight, which puts less stress on the building's structure. This can be particularly advantageous for retrofit projects where the existing structure may not support heavier roofing options.
Once installed, single ply roofing systems typically require minimal maintenance. Regular inspections and basic cleaning are usually sufficient to keep the roof in good condition.
Aesthetics
Single ply roofing offers various aesthetic options, including a range of colours and textures. This allows architects and building owners to choose a roofing material that complements the overall design of the building. Some single ply membranes can even mimic the appearance of traditional roofing materials like metal.
As technology continues to advance, it's likely that single ply roofing systems will further evolve to offer even more innovative features and benefits.
Use Cases:
Commercial Buildings
Single ply roofing is commonly used in commercial buildings such as offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial facilities due to its durability and energy efficiency benefits.
Residential Properties
While more prevalent in commercial settings, single ply roofing systems are also used in residential properties, especially those with flat or low-slope roofs.
Institutional Structures
Educational institutions, hospitals, and government buildings often opt for single ply roofing due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to cover large roof areas.
