When is PVC preferred over other single-ply membranes?

PVC is often considered where grease, oil, or certain chemical exposure is a concern, subject to manufacturer compatibility requirements.

Can PVC and TPO be welded together?

No. They are different thermoplastics and require compatible materials and transition details rather than direct welding.

Is PVC suitable for a restaurant roof?

It can be well suited because of its resistance to many grease-related exposures, but exhaust management and regular cleaning still matter.

What maintenance does a PVC roof need?

Scheduled inspections should address drains, seams, flashings, traffic areas, equipment work, contaminants, and punctures.

Commercial PVC Roofing

PVC roofing combines heat-welded seams with strong resistance to many oils, fats, and chemicals. MADE coordinates membrane selection and detailing with exhaust, equipment, drainage, and rooftop service patterns.

Chemical resistance
PVC can be a strong option around grease exhaust and selected chemical exposures when compatibility is verified.
Welded details
Heat-welded laps and prefabricated accessories support precise work around complex rooftop conditions.
Reflective performance
Common light-colored surfaces can support cool-roof and energy objectives within a complete assembly.
