Project Overview

The scope of work involved:
- Stripping the Existing Roof: The removal of one layer of old rubber roofing (EPDM) to prepare for the new installation.
- Installation of Insulation: A layer of 1-inch ISO insulation was added to enhance energy efficiency.
- New Roofing System: Installation of a fully glued 60-mil PVC membrane to ensure long-lasting protection and performance.
Technical Details

- Removal Process: The existing rubber roofing was carefully stripped away to expose the underlying substrate. This step is crucial for ensuring a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
- Insulation Installation: The addition of 1-inch ISO insulation significantly improves thermal performance, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs throughout the year. Proper insulation also contributes to a more comfortable living environment by minimizing temperature fluctuations.
- PVC Membrane Application: The choice of a fully glued 60-mil PVC membrane provides superior resistance to UV radiation, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions. This material is known for its longevity and effectiveness in flat roofing applications. The fully glued installation method enhances adhesion and reduces the risk of water infiltration.
Benefits of the New Roofing System
