Single ply roofs were developed in the late 1960's and commercialized in the 1970's. The Single Ply Roofs are ballasted, mechanically attached or adhered to insulation or other substrates. Single ply materials provide one ply of material to protect the building instead of the multiple layers in a built up or modified bitumen roof membrane. Single Ply Roofing is made of a variety of chemical compounds from EPDM to PVC, TPO, KEE and more. The single ply material can be installed as a smooth surface (mechanically fastened or adhered), or ballasted with at least 10 lbs/sf of large round river rock.
