Special note for home owners of domestic property
Single Ply PVC membrane roofing and waterproofing systems have now been employed in the main UK commercial and industrial roofing and waterproofing industry for some 40 years.
Millions of square metres have been installed over that period and is part of the main reason for the dramatic decline in the use of old fashioned outdated bituminous felt and asphalt type roof covering systems.
Modern Memtec Single Ply PVC membrane roofing and waterproofing systems are now accessible and available to home owners of domestic property. If you are building a new house, house extension, conservatory or garage or are requiring new roof coverings to the existing flat roofed areas of your property then you should be considering a Memtec Single Ply PVC membrane roofing or waterproofing system which will give you a modern, efficient and cost effective performance over many years.
(Please note an experienced installer should always be employed).

● Memtec Single Ply PVC Roofing and
Waterproofing Systems are suitable for all flat roof situations and can be either mechanically fixed, fully bonded or loose laid and ballasted.
● Typical specifications are: Warm roof, cold roof, roof terrace and green roof (i.e roof garden).
● Can be applied to most roof deck substrates such as timber, metal, concrete and roof screeds.
● Can be applied to gutter substrates such as metal, timber and concrete.
● Totally suitable for existing roof refurbishment projects whereby an insulated or non insulated overlay system/specification can be applied over the existing roof coverings (in most cases) without the need to strip them. Can be applied to bituminous felt, asphalt (with stone chippings removed) and mineral finish felt.
● Can replicate the appearance of Traditional Metal Roofing Systems such as Lead Roof Coverings by adding timber mop roll battens and Memtec cover flashings (i.e see page 3 of this brochure) and also Zinc Metal Standing Seam Roof Coverings by adding Memtec decarib PVC Profile type roof decoration.
Memtec Products are not susceptible to theft as they have no re-sale value unlike the actual Lead and Metal Products which do have a re-sale value.
Generally by employing the Memtec Product against the Traditonal Lead and Metal Products a cost saving of approximately fifty percent can be achieved.
● Can be applied to sloping mansard and dormer roof areas and if decorated, as above mentioned, will replicate metal standing seam or lead roll type roof coverings which could be of particular interest for church, religious, traditional and listed type buildings.

Please carefully notebuilding control regulations should always be consulted when considering an existing roof refurbishment project in regards to the requirement to install insulation to comply with current legal obligations.
