Single ply roofing is priced per square foot and an average price for materials and installation of a 60 mil roof may range from 3 to 5 per square foot. Single ply is exactly that it is a single layer of a synthetic product that is installed on the top of a flat roof. Single ply roofing has taken the place in most cases of the built up roofing. Essentially a single ply membrane roof is comprised of flexible sheets of synthetic polymer that can be divided into two main groups thermoplastics and synthetic rubber.

Normally there is insulation below the synthetic membrane which could be designed for a tapered insulation. These prefabricated membranes are manufactured in a factory to strict quality control requirements and can be attached in a variety of methods. Single ply roof refers to a number of roofing systems in which the principal covering is a single layer of flexible membrane generally sold in rolls. The cost associated with the material and installation can vary widely depending on roof conditions the attachment used and the type of membrane being installed.

Single ply roofing is classified as flexible sheets of compounded plastic derived material that are used to cover and protect flat and low sloped buildings. Due to the fact that thermoplastics can be re heated and re molded they have become the number one option for many industrial roofing contractors undertaking flat roof installations.
