Single Ply Systems consist of waterproof membranes which are applied to the roof area and upstand details, and are an excellent weatherproofing option to ensure your flat roof remains healthy.
One of the benefits of a single ply system is the variation of installation available, including ballasted roofs, green roofs, and is also adapted to cope with high wind uplift. Applied directly to the roof deck, over a vapour barrier, insulation or a combination of layers, the membrane is sealed using adhesives or seam welding (or both!) and comes with a warranty of up to 30 years.
RMS Grantham operatives are trained and recognised installers of two types of single ply membrane, an EPDM and a PVC. We specialise in both fully adhered systems and mechanically attached systems, and are happy to advise on the suitability of different membranes, fixings, and insulation or layers for beneath the membrane.
In short, mechanically attached systems are attached using screws and other fittings to the substrate, which are sealed over with additional membrane, and chemically bonded to the upstands. Fully adhered systems are chemically bonded to the substrate and upstands.
