Single-Ply Roof Systems

Long-Lasting, Strong, Single-Ply Roof Systems

Single-ply roof systems from Rich Roofing & Services provide strength, flexibility and long-lasting durability. Single-ply system is a class of commercial roofing membranes commonly described as “single-ply,” or flexible sheets of compounded synthetic materials which are manufactured in a factory to very strict quality control requirements.

This system uses pre-fabricated sheets featuring consistency of quality and versatility in their attachment methods, giving it a broader applicability. Call us for a free estimate today. Senior, veteran and first-responder discounts are available.

The Benefits of the Hy-Crown System

The Hy-Crowns single-ply system is extra tough because it is manufactured with Hypalon, a synthetic rubber made by Dupont. Hypalon is one of the most durable materials in the single-ply roofing market and has a track record of more than 30 years. Many architects, builders, plant engineers and commercial roofing contractors rely on Hypalon roofing systems such as Hy-Crown for reliable, leak-free commercial and industrial applications.

Improves With Age
A Hy-Crown roof actually becomes stronger with age because the installed Hypalon material vulcanizes when exposed to moisture and ultraviolet light. An additional benefit is that Hy-Crown has no plasticizers, so the roof won’t shrink or become brittle.

Resists Chemical Attack
Hy-Crown’s Hypalon material gives your Ohio roof solid, long-term protection from pollutants that can attack the surface of a commercial or industrial roof. Hy- Crown stands up to:

• Vegetable oils (common on restaurant roofs)
• ASTM No. 1 oil (common around refineries
• Glycols (a by-product of air conditioners)
• Acid rain
• Many fertilizers

Superior Seam Strength
Seams on a Hy-Crown roof can be heat-welded or solvent-welded. The resulting bond is up to six times stronger than the seams of an EPDM roofing system. Your chances of seam failure (and resulting leaks) are greatly reduced with a Hy-Crown job.

Reinforced For Toughness
Hy-Crown consists of a 45-mil Hypalon membrane reinforced with a 10-by-10 polyester scrim fabric embedded in the material. This produces a strong roofing membrane that resists tears and abrasions.

Energy Efficient
You can cut your air conditioning costs by installing a white reflective Hy-Crown roof. Tests show that the surface temperature of a white roof rose only 4 degrees during a sunny 85 degree summer day. The surface temperature of a black roof rose 42 degrees under the same conditions.

Lightens The Load
Because Hy-Crown is mechanically fastened, it doesn’t need heavy ballast that some other single-ply systems require. Your weight is reduced from 10- to 15-pounds per square foot to less than 1 pound per square foot. That’s less stress on the overall roof structure.
