what is plastic roofing?

What is Plastic Roofing?

Essex plastic roofing is normally made from PVC and comes in sheets of varying thicknesses; it is also available in slab or tile form. It is fused together with hot air in order to eliminate any seams that could allow moisture to penetrate. It is available in a multitude of colours and styles and may also include special sealants to help prevent this material from absorbing light that could cause it to fade or even melt.

Where Can Plastic Roofing Be Used?

Although it is primarily used in new construction, it can be an excellent choice for roof replacement on existing structures as well. A few of the buildings that can benefit from plastic roofs include homes, retail outlets, churches, schools, office buildings, and flats. It can also be ideal for children’s playhouses, tree houses, garden sheds, carports and patios to name a few.

What are the Advantages of Plastic Roofing?

Plastic roofing Essex has a number of advantages for homeowners to consider including:

  • Deflects light, thereby keeping homes cooler during the summer
  • Durability – can withstand heavy storms or hail much better than metal or asphalt
  • Is more fireproof than other types of roofing materials
  • Mimics the look of more expensive materials at a fraction of the cost
  • Available in different thickness to suit different purposes
  • Doesn’t require any special support structures be added since it is very lightweight
  • Available in raised or flat panels
  • Installs very quickly
  • Some manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on materials
  • Does not hold moisture, making it extremely waterproof
  • Easy to maintain since it can be sprayed clean with a garden hose

Potential Disadvantages of Plastic Roofing

  • Plastic or PVC roof sheets as they are also known as tend to be a lot more expensive than other types of roof materials.
  • Although these panels are durable to a point, they are unfortunately not resistant to scratches, marring and denting, meaning that they can look unsightly after a severe hail storm.
  • When cleaning plastic roofing, property owners need to exercise caution and ensure that no harsh abrasives or chemical products are used, as these will damage the roofing surface as well.
  • Over the years, it has been discovered that many of the compounds used to manufacture plastic roofing can possibly be harmful to the environment.

Who Should Consider Plastic Roofing?

Plastic roofing is incredibly versatile and it works well in just about all climates. It comes in any color of the rainbow, and it’s available in many textures, shapes, and sizes. If you’re interested in creating a unique home exterior that truly stands out, plastic is a great choice. However, if you’re on a strict budget, keep in mind that plastic is not as cost-effective as other roofing materials, and while it tends to stand up well to most weather events, it can be easily damaged by severe hailstorms. It’s important to keep these things in mind when considering plastic roofing.

Essex Plastic Roofing Costs

The cost of plastic roofing can vary a great deal depending on a number of factors that can include:

  1. Slope of the roof - plastic roofing is generally cheaper to install on roofs with a low slope
  2. Whether adjustments need to be made to account for skylights, chimneys, or roof vents
  3. Type of material - corrugated tends to be cheaper than non-corrugated
  4. Thickness of material - roofing used for garages or outbuildings is usually thinner and therefore less expensive
  5. Whether additional weatherproofing materials such as flashing need to be added
  6. Whether pieces are being cut by hand or with the use of a special grinding instrument
  7. The presence of other roofing materials that need to be removed first

Plastic Roofing Contractors

Not all contractors are skilled at installing plastic roofs. In order to find one that is well-qualified, there are a few things homeowners should ask about first. It’s important to know how many plastic roofs the contractor has installed or repaired in the past. The contractor should be willing to provide photographs of previous work along with the names of some references. Consumers should be prepared to ask plenty of questions in order to make sure the contractor is an expert in this type of material; otherwise, the roof may leak or appear to be worn only a short time after doing so.

Essex plastic roofing companies

When looking at plastic roofs from the ground, most people are unable to distinguish them from other slate or tiled structures. This is good news for people who would like to consider plastic roofing but fear it would detract from the look of their property. Those who choose plastic roofing will not only find that this is a stylish choice, but an economical one as well.

Plastic Roofing and the Environment

One of the biggest concerns surrounding plastic roofing is its effect on the environment. Plastic manufacturing requires petroleum, which is extracted from fossil fuels. Because of this, there are some manufacturers who have developed processes to recycle post-consumer plastic – including the plastic found in water bottles, children’s toys, and a variety of packaging materials – into gorgeous roofing tiles that can last for decades. These manufacturers also design their roofing in such a way that it can be recycled again at the end of its lifespan, which reduces not only the consumption of fossil fuels, but also the amount of waste in landfills.

Customising Your Home with Plastic Roofing

Plastic is by far one of the most versatile materials on Earth, so it comes as no real surprise that plastic roofing comes in many colours, shapes, thicknesses, sizes, and types to allow Essex homeowners incredible customization. You can find it in any colour imaginable, in small and large panels or shingles, and even in textures that are rippled, scalloped, cupped, curved, or geometrically intricate. By combining colour, texture, and size, your roof can accurately reflect your unique sense of style.

Your Essex plastic roofing questions answered

Plastic and PVC roofing can last for up to 30 years with very little needed maintenance. They are durable and resistant to water, UV radiation, fire, and chemicals. They are also much easier to clean than traditional asphalt roofing, since they will not be damaged by the use of a pressure washer.

Almost all plastic roofing shingles are made from at least a percentage of recycled materials in many cases up to 50%. Even when the roof needs to be replaced, the old plastic roofing shingles can be recycled back into other plastic roofing materials.

Plastic roofing tiles can be installed on pretty much any roof. It is ideal for homes and buildings that are in areas prone to storm damage or hail because the tiles are very resistant to damage.

On average, plastic roofing tiles cost about £1.50 each. For a full roof installation, the cost will usually run between £1,500 and £2,000, depending on the overall size of the home and the pitch of the roof.

No, it is actually made from either PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or TPO (thermoplastic olefin). Both have similar properties as plastic, yet provide a more durable and aesthetically-pleasing roofing material than plastic would.

Plastic roofing can provide an affordable alternative to some other types of roof materials in that it costs between £1 and £2 per plastic tile. However, this cost doesn’t include installation, so it is essential to obtain quotes beforehand.

Environmentalists have pointed out that it takes fossil fuels to produce plastic roofing. To avoid this, a handful of manufacturers across the globe have started creating recycled plastic roofing that is manufactured in sustainable facilities. These products are only available in limited areas.

Plastic roofing costs less than some materials, such as slate, but more than others, including fibreglass. It’s very lightweight, which means it costs little to ship. It’s easy to carry up and down a ladder for installation, which can significantly reduce labour costs, as well. Finally, because plastic is so very abundant and doesn’t require much processing outside of simple moulding, the manufacturing costs are low – and manufacturers can pass that on to consumers.

Not all contractors offer, install, repair, or maintain plastic roofing, so it’s important to do your research before you make a hiring decision. Filling out a short form for a free quote can save you time and money when it comes to finding a contractor that can install your plastic roof.

As with most other types of roofing projects, installing plastic roofing materials is a job that is best left to the experts. This will ensure that it is installed correctly.

While plastic can be used in several different applications, you will need to obtain advice from a reputable Essex roofing company to determine whether this material will be a suitable option for you or not.
