PVC roofing is designed to accommodate both flat-roof and low-slope roofs. If your home has a pitched-roof system, you may still be able to utilize PVC roofing on a flat roof deck, garage roof, or balancy. As mentioned earlier, PVC is fire resistant. But it’s also chemical-resistant, too,. This makes it an ideal choice among restaurants and fast-food chains that deal with grease and oil on a daily basis.Though you may not have a need for this particular benefit, there are tons of other ways a PVC roofing can enhance your residential property.Let’s review a few!

Longevity

How long do PVC roofs last? Good question. On average, PVC roofs can last up to 30 years or more. This, of course, depends on several factors, including
1.Regular maintenance
2.Repairs
3.Climate conditions
PVC’s lifespan is actually comparable to other common residential roofing systems, such as composite shingle roofing, which can last anywhere between 15-40 years.

Wind & Leak Protection

For homeowners who reside in areas that experience high wind warnings, PVC roofing membranes are incredibly durable. In fact, it even carries a strong wind uplift rating and has been recorded to withstand wind speed as high as 130 mph.

And because the seams of the membrane are welded together vs. using an adhesive tape, it helps keep water from rain, hail, and snow out of your home.

Low Maintenance Roofing

If the idea of less cleaning and maintenance appeals to you, then you’ll be delighted to learn that PVC roofing requires less repairs than traditional residential roofs. And when repairs are necessary, PVC roofs are much easier (and faster) to fix, as an experienced roofer will repair and weld the membranes back in place.
This, again, is just another reason why commercial buildings benefit from PVC—and why you can, too!
