What are the key advantages of PVC for membranes in building and construction?
The key advantages of PVC in membranes in building are: • Low economical and environmental costs (very good life cycle assessment, and price / quality balance). • Easy to recycle. • High fire resistance. • Easy to install (welding, finally we obtain a single sheet up to several thousands of square meters). • Easy to handle and to clean. • Tailor-made products: depending on the final application, we can design the most suitable product : all shapes, reinforced with fibers or not, etc… • Mechanical resistance: in absence of external stresses : almost never-ending cycle life. • High chemical resistance. • Easy to colour and to print (i.e. swimming pools). • Very good resistance against root perforation.
