Reflectivity

An IB PVC reflective roof membrane can reflect up to 90% of the solar heat load that can enter a building through the roof.

Many of our membrane colors are third-party tested and verified to meet or exceed EnergyStar, California Title 24, and Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)-Cool Reflective Roof Standards. 

IB Roof Systems applies a top finish to their PVC membranes to help keep them stay cleaner for longer, increasing their reflective properties, reducing energy consumption, and helping to reduce the urban heat island effect.

Due to the high reflective life of our membranes, there are considerable energy cost-saving benefits such as lowering energy consumption.

Your Carbon Footprint

Are you aware about the demand for corporations to reduce their carbon impact, emissions and even achieve carbon neutrality?

What is Carbon Neutrality?

carbon-neutral

Carbon neutral means that any CO2 released into the atmosphere from a company's product production or product use is balanced by an equivalent amount of CO2 being removed from the atmosphere.

What is Carbon Negative?
Carbon negative means that the amount of CO2 removed or saved is greater than the embodied carbon required to manufacture and install the product. CO2 may continue to be released into the atmosphere from the product.

Reclamation and Upcycling


IB Roof Systems is proud to reclaim and recycle PVC roofs after their long useful life.

After 30 years of outstanding performance, IB Roof System's reflective membranes are being upcycled into other high-quality products avoiding the landfill.

"When removing a 30+ year old PVC roof, the material is still usable with minimal degradation. This means not only can it be recycled, but it can also be upcycled into good products." - Jeff Walter, Northwest Polymers

Garden Roofs 

Garden and vegetative roof systems offer long-term benefits to the building and the environment. To create these mini eco-systems on a rooftop requires a sizable investment; therefore, it is vital that a proven, durable waterproofing system be put in place.

IB Roof PVC has been used successfully for many years as the waterproofing membrane choice for garden roofs. IB Roof Systems membranes are:

  • Highly resistant to solid root penetration
  • Handle constant or ponding moisture
  • Resistant to high PH or acidic soil conditions
  • Last over 30 years, maximizing the lifespan of a roof-top garden
