Advantages and operational qualities of PVC membranes
The membranes were widely used as the roofing material of the PVC due to the high characteristics that favorably distinguish it from other materials.
The main properties include:
- vapor permeability. This material does not contribute to the accumulation of water fumes between the roof material and waterproofing;
- Fire safety. Another important property that distinguishes the polyvinyl chloride membrane from other rolled roofing materials is low combustibility.
- Installation. There is no difficulty in this: an additional protective layer of geotextile or other material is laid on top of the roof, in the butt places the canvases are glued.
- durability. The service life of such a canvas can be more than 30 years, but the guarantee is most often given for 10-20 years.
