System Overview

Engineered commercial performance for PVC.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) roofing represents the gold standard in chemical resistance, fire ratings, and seam strength for commercial properties. Unlike standard rubber, PVC membranes remain impervious to rooftop grease from restaurant kitchen exhaust fans, airport jet fuel emissions, harsh industrial chemicals, and acid rain. Equipped with hot-air welded seams that permanently fuse membrane sheets into a monolithic sheet, PVC delivers unmatched watertight security.

Why Property Owners Choose PVC

  • Supreme chemical & grease resistance — ideal for restaurants & food processing
  • UL Class A fire resistance with self-extinguishing flame properties
  • Permanently fused hot-air welded seams that resist standing water
  • High solar reflectivity (cool roof) reduces cooling utility costs
  • Excellent puncture and tear resistance against heavy rooftop foot traffic

Datum Installation Process

Mechanically fastened or fully adhered to approved insulation substrates with robotic hot-air welders running continuous temperature-controlled seam joints.

Coastal Wind & Weather Engineering

Heat-fused seams withstand intense wind-uplift pressures and salt-spray oxidation without degrading or delaminating.

Thorough, No-Cost Estimating

Our estimating process for PVC Projects: thorough by design, zero surprises.

With deep roots in engineering and structural restoration, Datum takes existing conditions seriously. In commercial roofing, change orders are often treated as business as usual — but to us, too many change orders are a black mark. Our estimating is always 100% free, but engineered to be exhaustive before work begins.

Change Order Rate
6%

Only 6% of our roof replacements involve a change order.

That low rate is the direct result of core samples, deck verification, and moisture scans completed before we price the work.

Schedule Reliability
96.7%

Projects finish on time — and yes, we're proud of that .7%!

Detailed phasing, tenant coordination, and weather buffers keep condominium boards and owners on schedule.

Always No-Cost
$0

Exhaustive existing condition analysis at no charge.

Full condition audit, core cuts, moisture maps, and written replacement vs. repair options for your board or management company.

1. Core sampling & deck verification

We take physical core cuts through the membrane to verify the exact assembly underneath — number of existing plies, insulation type and thickness, substrate condition, and deck type (concrete, metal, wood, gypsum). No guessing.

Standard on every proposal

2. Thermal moisture scanning

Non-destructive electronic moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging map trapped moisture pockets across the roof deck so wet insulation is quantified before the proposal is written — not discovered during tear-off.

Standard on every proposal

3. Ventilation & intake/exhaust analysis

We calculate intake, exhaust, and rooftop airflow dynamics to prevent condensation, pressure imbalance, and premature membrane failure. A low-slope roof without proper ventilation engineering traps moisture from below.

Standard on every proposal

4. Structural condition & load review

Drawing on Lasher's 30+ years in structural restoration and engineering, we evaluate parapets, expansion joints, deck deflection, and drainage slopes so every structural constraint is solved in the upfront scope.

Standard on every proposal
Why this protects your budget: We find hidden wet insulation, deck rot, and ventilation issues before contracts are signed — giving your project the best odds of finishing exactly on budget and on time.
