Single-Ply Roof Installation
Single-ply systems are large sheets of flexible membrane, typically TPO, PVC, or EPDM, installed in one continuous layer for a seamless barrier against water, wind, and UV exposure. Ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, we install TPO, PVC, and EPDM systems designed to perform in Wisconsin’s unpredictable weather.
What Is Single-Ply Roofing?
Single-ply systems are large sheets of flexible membrane — typically thermoplastics like TPO and PVC, or synthetic rubber like EPDM — installed in one continuous layer for a seamless barrier against water, wind, and UV. They’re ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, offering both speed of installation and long-term reliability.
Benefits of Single-Ply Roofing Systems
Seam Strength & Leak Resistance. Strong, welded seams create a continuous, watertight barrier that reduces the risk of leaks on flat and low-slope roofs.
Energy Efficiency. Reflective membrane surfaces paired with proper insulation lower cooling demand and improve overall energy efficiency.
Flexibility for Large Roof Areas. Lightweight, flexible membranes accommodate building movement and temperature changes across large or complex roof layouts.
Single-Ply Roofing Systems We Install
TPO Roofing Systems
Durable, energy-efficient membranes with heat-welded seams that create a continuous, watertight surface and excellent resistance to UV and weathering — well-suited to flat and low-slope roofs
PVC Roofing Systems
Enhanced chemical resistance and long-term durability, ideal for environments exposed to oils, grease, or harsh contaminants. Welded seams and strong flexibility handle complex roof designs.
EPDM Roofing Systems
A flexible rubber membrane with proven performance over decades. Adapts well to temperature changes and building movement where durability and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
Ideal Uses for Single-Ply Commercial Roofing
Retail Centers & Office Buildings
Energy efficiency, clean appearance, and reliable performance on flat and low-slope roofs help control interior temperatures and reduce utility costs with minimal maintenance.
Medical & Educational Facilities
Enhanced chemical resistance and long-term durability, ideal for environments exposed to oils, grease, or harsh contaminants. Welded seams and strong flexibility handle complex roof designs.
Distribution & Logistics Buildings
A flexible rubber membrane with proven performance over decades. Adapts well to temperature changes and building movement where durability and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
Our Single-Ply Roof Installation Process
1
Roof Preparation & Insulation
We evaluate the existing roof, address underlying issues, and install appropriate insulation to improve energy performance and create a stable substrate for the membrane.
2
Membrane Installation
The membrane is installed using proven methods that ensure proper placement, secure attachment, and uniform coverage across the roof surface.
3
Seam Welding & Final Inspection
Seams are heat-welded or bonded to manufacturer specifications for a continuous, watertight barrier, followed by a final inspection of seams, flashing, and overall performance.
Gliding Eagle Roofing is a family-owned, fully insured commercial roofing team. We show up on time, stay on budget, and treat every roof with the same care we would give our own building.
