Single Ply Membranes: Two of our most popular blog posts are updated

Four years ago, we published two blog posts on single ply membranes which are two of the most popular pages on our entire website. They are so popular that we’ve decided to update them, and you can visit the updated versions here:

“Comparison of Single Ply Membranes”  compares the most popular types of single ply roofing membranes used in the UK, setting out their different characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

• PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) accounting for around 80% of the UK market, but also
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
• TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
• TPE (Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer) and
• PIB (Polyiso Butylene)

These factors include
