Since its introduction in the 1970s, PVC roofing, otherwise known as thermoplastic roofing, has experienced a wide array of reaction to its performance in the United States. The following is a historical summarization of the fundamental differences and performance results that roofing contractors, specifiers and owners should realistically consider when working with this category of single ply roofing.
