Single ply roofing systems have become increasingly popular
over the past three decades, due to their flexibility, affordable prices and
ease of installation, comparing with other materials.
This type of roof cover acts as a composite structure, but
its behavior is influenced by a few factors: the properties of the materials it
is made of, the surface to which it adheres, as well as the environment in
which it is to serve. It is mostly (but not exclusively) used on flat
commercial roofs.
