What Is PVC Roofing?
PVC roofing is the smart choice for many commercial buildings. It’s a type of plastic that’s known for durability and affordability, and it may be the type of roof your manufacturing facility, warehouse or other commercial operation needs.
PVC – which stands for polyvinyl chloride – makes an excellent roofing material. It comprises two layers of PVC with a layer of polyester between them for reinforcement. It’s flexible, UV-stable and attractive, and if you add a layer of acrylic coating, it becomes reflective and dirt-repellent. Many people find PVC to be superior to other types of commercial roofing materials.
Benefits of PVC Roofing
Polyvinyl chloride roofing offers plenty of advantages, including:
- Affordability
- Chemical resistance
- Durability
- Environmental friendliness

Benefits of PVC Roofing Continued
Affordability
Compared to other roofing materials, PVC is exceptionally affordable – particularly when you factor in its long lifespan and durability.
Durability
PVC roofing uses hot-air welded seams, which makes them exceptionally durable. Moisture can’t get through the permanent, water-tight bonds.
Strength
PVC roof materials have a breaking strength of 350 pounds per square inch, which exceeds the American Society of Testing and Materials requirement for roofing membranes – the ATSM only requires a breaking strength of 200 pounds per square inch.
Waterproofing
Because PVC is a type of plastic, it’s incredibly water-resistant. It can remain water-tight, even in extreme conditions.
Chemical Resistance
Many restaurants, manufacturing facilities and commercial operations that deal with chemicals choose PVC roofing because of its chemical resistance. It holds strong against grease, harsh chemicals and other things that would damage ordinary roofing materials.
Environmental Friendliness
These roofs are very reflective, so they can help reduce air conditioning loads and energy waste. They can also lower monthly heating and cooling costs when they’re installed with proper insulation. The vinyl can also be recycled into new products when it’s done being used as a roof, too.
Fire Resistance
PVC roofing materials are difficult to ignite, making them the clear choice for many commercial buildings. Additionally, they don’t support combustion and self-extinguish once the source of the flame is gone.
How Long Will a PVC Roof Last?
With proper care and maintenance, a PVC roof can last upwards of 20 years. Maintenance isn’t difficult, either – typically, it only requires periodic cleaning. You can broom-clean the roof’s surface, soak it to remove dried dirt and debris, and rinse it to keep it clean.
How Much Does PVC Roofing Cost?
The cost of a PVC roof can vary greatly from business to business. Several factors determine how much you’ll have to spend to install a PVC roof, including:
- The size of your building
- The materials you choose
- Whether you’re installing the roof on just a portion of the building or the whole thing
- The type of insulation you choose
The best way to figure out how much a PVC roof will cost your company is to schedule a free consultation with a commercial roofing company. You’ll be able to ask questions about your options and get a quote all at once.
