PVC is a fantastic option when it comes to roofing materials. It's produced from a one-ply Olefin-based material that's been engineered to provide your roof the best support possible. This lowers the weight of PVC by half compared to EPDM roofs. PVC can be stretched and molded into any shape. Many RV manufacturers, such as Forest River, Crossroads, Northwood, and Outdoors RV, have already replaced EPDM with PVC as an alternative roofing solution.
Installation Recommendations
It is essential to wet the laminate over one porous surface (such as plywood or fiberboard), since this will prevent static charges from forming. If both surfaces are non-porous, such as EPS or ISO, apply the adhesive to both 4-5 millimeters thick and wait 20-30 minutes before releasing tension. Our RecPro RV Roof Adhesive is the recommended product to use for installation, and it will help achieve 100% contact area with the roof deck. Please note that when you apply your PVC roofing membrane, you should apply the smooth side down and textured side up; this is because the bonding agent adheres better to porous surfaces. Additionally, do not attempt to bond rubber to rubber as this adhesive does not work on non-porous surfaces like metal or fiberglass. If necessary, use water and a rag to remove any unwanted adhesive from the vicinity.

PVC Roofing Maintenance and Cleaning Tips
The PVC roof membrane is designed with a smooth finish that helps reduce the build-up of dirt and debris, while also making it easy to clean.
Once a month, use a broom or brush to sweep dirt and debris, such as leaves and twigs, off of the roof, then rinse using clean water. Sweep and rinse your PVC roof more frequently if you are camping in the fall or in an area with frequently falling leaves to avoid or reduce staining.
Lift and remove large debris such as large sticks or branches as soon as possible. Avoid dragging large debris when removing to avoid scratching, tearing, puncturing, or otherwise damaging the PVC roof.
Periodically wash the PVC roof membrane using only clean water, household soaps such as Dawn dish soap, and a plastic brush or scrubber. For tougher and more stubborn dirt, grime, or stains, use the following recommended cleaners:
- Fantastick
- Soft Scrub
- Windex
- Tilex
- Murphy Oil Soap
- A 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar
Do NOT use a power/pressure washer to clean or rinse the PVC roof membrane. The spray may be too aggressive and could cause tearing or other damage to the membrane. Use only a regular water hose and sprayer to rinse off the roof membrane.
Do NOT use abrasive pads, metal scrubbers or brushes with metal bristles, as they can damage the PVC roof membrane.
Do NOT use any products or cleaners that contain solvents or abrasives. Avoid using petroleum based distillates such as citrus cleaners or mineral spirits, as they can soften the membrane.
It is NOT RECOMMENDED that you clean the roof by taking your RV or trailer through a car wash. Debris and/or rust or other metal fragments from other vehicles can get stuck in the brushes of car wash systems, which could cause damage to the PVC membrane.
