SELECTING THE BEST MEMBRANE FOR FLAT ROOF: CRITERIA AND ADVICE

The choice of membrane for a flat roof is crucial to ensure the durability and waterproofness of the roof, especially in Montreal's varied climate conditions. Elastomeric membranes, TPO and PVC are among the most common options. Elastomeric membranes, made of synthetic rubber, are known for their flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures. They adapt well to the movements of the building structure, thus reducing the risk of cracks. TPO membranes offer excellent resistance to UV and chemicals, as well as good energy performance thanks to their ability to reflect heat. PVC membranes, on the other hand, are durable and weather-resistant, while offering good flexibility. When selecting a membrane, it is crucial to consider factors such as durability, ease of installation, maintenance costs and energy efficiency. Calling on professionals for installation is essential to ensure proper application and optimize the performance of the chosen membrane.
