About the Topic: Single Ply Roofing Membranes
In our rain intense region, we tend to avoid risks and stick to what is familiar when it comes to roofing. As with many building systems, single ply roofing did entail a learning curve which the industry has within the last decade largely overcome. Evidence of this is the level and quality of warranties now offered by single ply roofing manufacturers.
This presentation gets three unique perspectives on the single ply roofing industry. First, Leonard will cover what single ply roofing systems can achieve and the use over the last few decades within BC. Josh will then cover his history in the roofing consulting market as well as how and why his perspective of roofing membrane selection changed over his 15 years within the industry. Hamish will than wrap up with the perspective of the RCABC and how the choice of single ply roofing can affect the project.
