- TPO-Thermoplastic polyolefin single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages. We use GAF Everguard Extreme TPO roofing products.
- EPDM- is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used in low-slope buildings in the United States and worldwide. Its two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, are derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM is available in both black and white, and is sold a broad variety of widths, ranging from 7.5 feet to fifty feet, and in two thicknesses, 45 and 60 mils. EPDM can be installed fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape.

The thickness of the roofing membrane varies by manufacturer. Membrane roofing is used on flat or low sloped roofs, since conventional shingles only work on sloped roofs. One type of flat roofing membrane is called PVC or polyvinyl chloride, and it has been commonly used since the 1960s. We use a product from GAF EverGuardPVC single ply roofing system.

- Modified Bitumen-membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen.
