11 Single-Ply Roofing Tools Contractors Need
Over the past 35 years, single-ply thermoplastic membranes-such as TPO and PVC-have grown in popularity as an effective alternative to asphalt-based commercial and industrial roofing systems. This shift is largely due to single-ply's ease of installation, relatively low cost, durability, and its energy-cost saving potential.
However, a singly-ply roofing system is only as good as its seam welds. To consistently create durable, watertight seams that can withstand heavy weathering (i.e. wind, rain, snow, standing water and sun), you'll need to invest in the right equipment.
