Membrane roofing is a type of roofing system for buildings and tanks. It is used on flat or nearly flat roofs to prevent leaks and move water off the roof. Membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen. Membrane roofs are most commonly used in commercial application, though they are becoming increasingly more common in residential application
This type of roofing is an
evolution of asphalt roofing. It is made from asphalt and a variety of rubber
modifiers and solvents. There are several ways
of connecting pieces of this material. In a heat application process the seams
are heated to melt the asphalt together and create a seal. There is also
hot-mopped application, similar to how conventional built-up roofs are installed.
Cold-applied adhesives and self-adhesive membranes are two of the more recent
options. This material is also referred to as APP, SBS, and SEBS.
