Low-Slope Commercial Roofing: EPDM, PVC, and TPO Webinar

Single-ply roofing materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), continue to be among the most-used materials for low-slope commercial roofs. Because of their prevalence, adjusters need to know how weather-related perils, such as wind and hail, can impact these materials and another popular roofing option, ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM), to ensure claims are resolved accurately.
By attending the Low-Slope Commercial Roofing: EPDM, PVC, and TPO Webinar on Wednesday, April 1, at 2 PM ET, you can expect to learn key facts about these roofing materials and how they might appear in property claims. Alpine Intel Customer Education Director Jay Dykstra will also:
- Explore installation methods for EPDM, PVC, and TPO roof membranes while detailing the pros and cons of each type
- Explain common deficiencies for these low-slope commercial roofing materials, such as installation issues and lap failures, shrinkage, and wear and tear
- Discuss how to determine if hail or wind damaged these commercial roof materials or if impacts were caused by something else
He will then share case studies to put the information he taught throughout the session into practice.
