  1. PVC and UPVC Corrugated Sheets in Roofing Being a cost-effective and fast solution, applying PVC/UPVC corrugated sheets have the benefits and drawbacks you must be aware of. But in the first place, we have to distinguish PVC plastic sheets from UPVC ones. PVC or UPVC PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is a plastic polymer, widely used in roofing due to its flexibility, good water, corrosion, and heat resistance, along with decent longevity. There is only a single essential difference between PVC and UPVC. It lies in whether PVC contains plasticizers—material that softens PVC and increases its flexibility. But you do not care much about flexibility, do you? You want your roof to be as long- living as possible. That is why you should prefer UPVC corrugated sheets, as they are more durable, have better fire, acid and water resistance than PVC ones. However, if the roof framing requires more flexibility of the material, stick to PVC.

  2. Advantages of using PVC Advantages of using PVC\ \uPVC corrugated sheets in Roofing uPVC corrugated sheets in Roofing The main advantages of PVC and UPVC corrugated roofing are: Lightweight: The main benefit of PVC and UPVC. You can easily transport and install corrugated sheets, as well as maintain your roof in the future. Affordability: The second biggest benefit of these materials. As the buying, installation and maintenance price is quite affordable in comparison to other materials, this type of corrugated sheets can be affordable to the majority of householders. Weather-Ability: The corrugated sheets have good water, fire, corrosion, heat, and UV resistance, along with high impact resistance and excellent sound insulation performance. Durability: The corrugated PVC roof lasts long and saves you a lot of money in the long run. In addition to that, the corrugated roof can be repaired or cleaned without any special equipment—you are able to fix and maintain it on your own without any professional assistance. You will save plenty of money in the future. However, you should know that these corrugated sheets are low resistant to scratches and the surface is vulnerable to denting. These problems can be partially neutralized with taking extra care and advising with the manufacturer regarding choosing cleaning agents. Another drawback of PVC some people emphasize is that there are alternative materials available on the market— for instance, poly-carbonate sheets — which are much more durable and have greater weather-ability. I have to agree with them. But, they are dramatically more expensive than PVC. That is why, PVC and UPVC corrugated sheets still dominate the market. So, if you need some extra impact, water, heat, and UV resistance, you should pay closer attention to more pricy materials. In other cases, PVC is the best option for your roof.
