PVC roofing material is a state-of-the-art membrane that's engineered to provide the best performance possible for your RV roof. It's made out of an Olefin-based membrane that's only one ply, making the weight about half of that of EPDM roofing. It's flexible and stretchable and conforms to the contours of your RV. There are multiple RV manufacturers that currently use PVC as an alternative roofing material (Forest River, Crossroads, Northwood, and Outdoors RV)
Recommendation for installation
If one surface is porous (has small holes or spaces), such as plywood or fiberboard, it is recommended to wet laminate the membrane to the substrate. If both surfaces are non-porous, such as EPS or ISO, apply the adhesive to both surfaces 4-5 mils and allow to dry approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on conditions. Adhesive will turn from white to clear when it is dry. Apply membrane to the roof deck and roll or broom down sheet to assure 100% contact area.
**While this material is sold by the foot, RecPro can only ship up to 40' at a time. As an example, if you order 80', it will ship in two separate containers. Any orders over 40' please call our customer service to place the order**
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.
