Membranes, foam and coatings are not the same

PVC and TPO are single sheets rolled out and welded together. Modified bitumen is built up from several asphalt sheets. Spray foam is sprayed on and expands into a seamless layer that both insulates and waterproofs the roof, and must then be coated. A coating is a liquid layer that protects an existing roof, not a roof in itself.

Roof coatings

Choosing a system

The building's use, how the roof drains, the rooftop equipment, foot traffic, the existing roof and the budget all matter. Single-ply membranes weigh less; layered modified bitumen stands up better to punctures and foot traffic. We'll talk through the options after seeing the roof.
