PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is available as a woven or non-woven material, and has been a staple in the fabric membrane roofing industry since the early 1960s. PVC membrane is a cost-effective alternative to traditional roofing systems and can be produced in a multitude of colors to coordinate with individual building project needs. When produced in bright white, this flexible fabric membrane reduces radiant heat gain, keeping interior temperatures cooler during warmer weather conditions. PVC membrane is commonly coated with a protective acrylic or PVDF top coat with a design life of approximately 15-20 years. If PVC membrane is exposed to high levels of UV in such areas like Florida or in the Southwest U.S., the design life of PVC is approximately 10-15 years. Key benefits of PVC Membranes: • Temporary and permanent structures • Retractable and movable structures • UV stable • coating with long-term protection against soiling and premature ageing. • Weather tight • Easy-to-clean surface properties • As a flameproof material of low weight (up to about 1,450 g/m²) and with a maximum thickness of about 1.2 mm, PVC/PES have an extremely low fire load • Self-extinguishing • Various colours • Printable • Light transmission up to 40% • Life expectancy 20 to 30 years
