All systems are only as good as the installation and the weather conditions dealt with during the install.

I have been using mule hide self adhering roll roofing. I like the face it sticks down just as good as torch down without the flames

I find it easier to work with then epdm for flat roofs but some applications call for epdm when the roll roofing can not be used.

single ply roofs. particularly EPDM and PVC. Although I do have a nostalgic fondness for coal tar pitch.

[RoofingDave]

Either that or GRP

[aaronroofing]

definitely EPDM or TPO

In my personal opinion I think that most of us like green roofing and reason is very obvious that it looks beautiful and create a green natural environment and have a soothing effect on the eyes.

Allisa, a green roof is any roof that can be considered enviromentally friendly. This could includ a reflective white TPO roof. Is this what you mean, or did you mean a "garden" roof?

If you meant a garden roof, the garden is not actually a roof, but is over burden built atop the water proofing membrane. I personally don't consider the garden on a garden roof to be a roof, I consider the water proofing membrane beneath the roof to be the roof, therefore a garden roof could never be my favorite

I've been doing a lot of Fiber Tite. It's probably better than TPO, they even say it will outlast PVC. It welds easier and I don't have to use any weathered membrane cleaner if it's out in the sun too long. No cut edge sealant ether.

I like fibertite too... Their specialty is their puncture resistance. If thats Your thing, no one can beat it.

What is your favorite flat roofing system? and why?

EPDM flat roof systems is my favorite, its durable and fully recyclable, suitable for both commercial and domestic properties, they are resistant to UV rays and can withstand extreme seasonal change, tried and tested over 50 years, easy to fit and maintain.

[How'd that get there]

Ok I'll play

So I'm late to the table so maybe I missed it but regardless of covering selection the cover-boards have gone a long way in preventing single ply failures due to collapsed iso. It's hard to beat the redundancy of any BUR......and I do miss the smell of asphalt or heating my sandwich on the tubes...but you can hardly pull into a parking lot with a kettle in tow and not expect the building to be evacuated. Besides the only bur roofers are old roofers. We agreed not to burn down any buildings with torch applied systems and our insurance carrier agreed not to raise our rates...as much... do you all have people in your area that call them rubber roofs? As for the single plys way too many issues with TPO including the solar loading from reflected heat. Have you ever picked up any piece of epdm laying around and noticed it's always wet underneath? However they'd be choice #2. I'd go with the PVC over a coverboard with proper design for R-vaule. Why - 1. ease of application. 2. nice to work on when it's 90 out 3. proven history. 4. welded seams proven to be better than glue or tape

I Prefer TPO roofing

Using the 60 mil, the thickest membrane, I have never had any problems installing a TPO roof and have had nothing but happy customers.

I would prefer to use Duro-Last single-ply PVC roofing system as it is more durable and best engineered.
