Since their introduction in the late 1990s, wide thermoplastic single-ply roofing membranes have been touted as the best thing since the staple gun. But is wider really better?
Wider roofing membranes first came out as un-reinforced EPDM for fully adhered or ballasted applications, and became popular among roofing contractors for installation efficiencies. As EPDM manufacturers entered the thermoplastic arena, they brought the "wider" mentality with them in order to appeal to EPDM contractors.
