PROGRAM

PVC is one of the most diverse products in the building industry and one of the most misunderstood. This presentation will help to better understand why PVC is one of the most versatile and modifiable thermoplastics. With all the different formulations, types, reinforcements and construction, knowledge of this product type will assist the specifier in creating better specifications.

This course covers PVC roofing materials and discusses the performance, functionality, and construction of these materials in roofing assembly. The benefits of PVC for architects and building owners is highlighted in regards to performance, best fit for this solution, and what attachment methods are advantageous

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Participants will learn the history of PVC and discover how truly safe it is to the environment and building occupants
• Participants will assess how PVC roofing membranes fit within the building code for fire resistance, fit within the industry energy programs offering a more sustainable opportunity, so the designer is more prepared to discuss PVC options with building owners
• Participants will differentiate the major components, such as thickness, scrim choice, and formula in the manufacturing of PVC roofing membranes and how together they impact on the longevity and performance
• Participants will discover the latest enhancements for PVC membranes through the types of plasticizers
