Single ply membrane systems can be installed quickly compared with many traditional flat roofing systems. This can help reduce time on the roof, improve programme certainty and support faster project delivery.

Single ply membrane systems are generally lightweight, which can make them suitable for new-build and refurbishment projects where roof load is an important consideration.

Single ply membranes can be detailed around penetrations, outlets, upstands, corners, rooflights, plant supports and perimeter edges when installed by competent installers using the correct system details.

Single ply systems are usually installed without hot works across the main roof area, depending on the build-up and fixing method. This can help support safer and cleaner installation on many projects.

A correctly specified and installed single ply membrane can provide long-term waterproofing performance, supported by manufacturer documentation, warranties and maintenance guidance.

Single ply membrane systems can include highly reflective finishes, helping reduce solar heat absorption and support cooler roof performance in hot climates such as Malaysia.
