What is Membrane Roof

Usually made from large sheets of thin material, membrane roofing is used to prevent water from leaking into the building. The thin material makes them easy to install and repair. 

Roofing membranes are sealed directly onto the roof and can last longer than asphalt under Malaysia’s harsh sunlight.

Why Membrane Roofing is Important

Leak Protection

As mentioned above, the primary purpose of roofing membranes is to prevent water leakage. Roof leaks can be extremely hazardous as water can get into electrical wiring and short circuit the wires, creating sparks and potential fire. Roofing membranes serve as an additional layer of protection against water accumulation and moisture so you can avoid hazards or damages to the building structure.

Reduce Maintenance Cost

Due to its smooth surface, roofing membranes allow dirt to be washed off easily when it rains. This convenient feature reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

Extra Insulation

For insulation, vinyl and rubber roof membranes are excellent choices and effectively reduce your energy expenses. Properly installed roof membranes can block sunlight and keep the house well insulated.

Common Types of Membrane Roofing in Malaysia

EPDM membrane roofing

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer roofing membranes are single-ply membranes made of rubber and are popular due to their low cost. They have good resistance to weather permeability and can cover large areas, making them easy to install. Naturally darker in colour, the EPDM membrane can last up to 15 years.

TPO membrane roofing

Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a reflective roofing membrane rapidly becoming popular in the market. It is single-ply and relatively affordable. TPO membranes have reflective white surfaces to help limit energy expenditure. They are also UV light-resistant and difficult to penetrate.

PVC membrane roofing

Polyvinyl chloride is the most commonly used commercial roofing membrane. It is known for its strength, durability and low water permeability. PVC membrane roofing systems are also energy-efficient due to their white colour. They are capable of reducing cooling costs and have a lifespan of up to 30 years.
