How can vinyl roofs be repaired, if required?
Vinyl roofs are thermoplastic materials and, as such, are weldable throughout the life of the roof. Before performing repairs, surface contaminants should be removed with a mild detergent and water. If there are excess pollutants, they can be removed with a light solvent wipe, although caution should always be used with the use of solvents. A repair can then be performed by hot air welding a repair patch with a 2-inch overlap in each direction on the material to be repaired. The patch will not negatively affect the integrity of the membrane, as it is a thermoplastic; the hot air welded material is fused into place for the life of the roof.
