In recent years, single ply roofing has grown in popularity as a flat roof covering. A single ply membrane roof comprises flexible sheets of synthetic polymer that can be categorised as either thermoplastics or synthetic rubber.
Installing a single ply membrane is a modern way of covering a flat roof area or gutter. Here are some details of the forms of single ply membrane that we can provide.
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic and refers to a roofing material that is strong but lightweight, as well as resistant to corrosion and temperature.
When we install a GRP roofing system, we apply a single ply membrane – comprising resin, fibreglass matting and topcoat – to secured OSB 3 decking boards. Once in place, the roof will last for over 20 years.
If you would like to have a rubber roof fitted, we can provide a rubber membrane. This type of roof lacks joints, and offers such benefits as tear and leak resistance.
Even if your building incurs damage, you can avoid any lateral water underflow if a liquid applied membrane is in place. For this reason, a liquid applied membrane can help you to waterproof your roof – no small advantage during spells of particularly heavy rain or snow.
An EPDM membrane is otherwise known as an elastomeric membrane. EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, a kind of synthetic rubber produced by polymerising ethylene and propylene and combining them with ethylidene norbornene.
This type of membrane is resistant to UV light and ozone and can also be reused after being laid loose or mechanically attached.
We can help you to choose the most suitable single ply membrane for you. Simply call 01784 255 652 or 07831 182 623 to discuss your needs with us, or email info@martinukltd.co.uk.
