A simple concept solves complicated roof problems
  • The engineering is straightforward: flexible sheets of synthetic rubber are unrolled over the entire surface of the roof. The single layer (that’s how it gets the name “single ply system”) is fastened and sealed to your existing roof. It’s strong, elastic, and long-lasting. And it looks good!
  • According to the Single Ply Roofing Industry (SPRI) consumer website, the pre-fabricated sheets on the market today are manufactured to a consistent standard of top quality.
  • The sheeting only gets stronger with age. This explains the 10 to 20-year warranty on the material.
  • It is cut to be sealed around HVAC and other roof equipment. No removal and then re-installation of roof fixtures is necessary.
  • No expensive tear off of your existing roof is needed.

But what about the seams in a single ply system?
It’s a frequently asked question by owners who need to fix an endless cycle of leaks and repairs to a current roof. The synthetic rubber sheets are several feet wide. They’re laid side by side, with some overlap, and fastened with metal and screws. Then each seam is cleaned, so no dirt or debris fouls the seal. The seams are heat melded to one another. High heat makes the rubber-to-rubber bond unbreakable. In addition, we can coat the seams with a liquid version of the synthetic material for additional strength. Single ply system seams are six times stronger than those on an EPDM roof.

For industrial buildings, double protection:

The membrane is resistant to chemicals and pollutants. So substances in the air outside an industrial building will not damage it. And more importantly, they can not seep into the surface.

Three major benefits of a single ply system
  1. It’s durable in spite of the unforgiving Austin, TX climate. It is impervious to ultraviolet rays and ozone, meaning they will not degrade the material and reduce the useful life of the roof.
  2. The white surface will reduce the cost of cooling a building’s interior. White reflects the heating of the sun, keeping the surface cooler. This “cool roof” energy savings has prompted state and federal governments to offer incentives for retro-fitting light colored roofing. Austin Metal Roofing strives to a be leader in energy conservation consulting, and light-colored, reflective roofing is markedly energy efficient.
  3. You get high fire resistance. It is very difficult for a fire to spread or even begin with the Class A rated single ply system.

How we fasten it to your existing roof
  • Mechanical fasteners are attached and sealed around the perimeter of the roof.
  • Or, a process is used to create a vacuum that holds the sheeting in place.

Sheet membranes are available in standard and custom colors. Generally they come in black or energy-efficient white.
