PVC Membrane

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a single-layer membrane used for protecting roofs, terraces, and balconies from moisture. The membrane is waterproof, preventing rain penetration while allowing effective ventilation and moisture evaporation from inside the building.

PVC membranes have been used since the 1960s. Initially developed for industrial insulation, they are now widely applied in residential buildings.

Waterproof membranes perform exceptionally well on flat roofs, serving as a durable and aesthetic alternative to roofing felt. They are also used for waterproofing terraces and balconies. Over time, prolonged UV exposure can cause PVC membranes to stiffen and lose their properties. Therefore, additional protective layers are often applied to extend their lifespan.

While PVC membranes are a more expensive alternative to traditional roofing felt, they offer superior advantages, such as effective water protection, high wind resistance, and vapor permeability. Proper moisture drainage from underneath the roof is a crucial factor. Before purchasing, ensure that the chosen membrane allows vapor diffusion and includes the necessary protective layer.

Key Features:

• Effective waterproofing
• High wind resistance
• Non-flammable (in the absence of strong external ignition sources, PVC is self-extinguishing)
• 100% recyclable
• Low CO₂ emissions during production
• Contains significantly fewer oils compared to other polymers
• Does not contain heavy metals such as cadmium or lead
