School Roof with Bauder lightweight waterproofing system

Single Ply roofing systems

Single ply roofing systems are for lightweight, fast track and cost-effective construction projects.

Specifying a single ply membrane system

Strong and flexible membranes composed predominantly of synthetic polymer involving polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and flexible polyolefin (FPO). Suitable for new build and refurbishment projects. Single ply roofing systems are advantageous if the project has load-bearing considerations. The membranes are durable and resistant to European climate considerations, yet incredibly lightweight, typically 2-3kg/m2.

We have adopted the new Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) across our roofing portfolio to have information assessed for accuracy and clarity to ensure specifiers can rely on the data when selecting a Bauder single ply solution.

The works are closely monitored by Bauder site technicians with regular inspections and live time reports to ensure the quality and waterproof integrity of the roof.
