PVC Roll Size Case Study

The manufacturers of wide-width single-ply rolls make marketing claims that the wide-width products have application advantages because, compared with systems using narrower rolls, there are fewer seams and installation is quicker. While this claim may be accurate when wide-width rolls are used in fully adhered and plate-bonded systems, it is not necessarily accurate for side-lap mechanically attached applications.The installation process for wider and heavier rolls can take longer and pose several workforce challenges for the installers.

To investigate claims that it is more cost effective to use wide-width rolls in mechanically attached systems, Colin Murphy analyzed side-lap attachment spacing and seam welding lengths comparing the use of wide-width rolls versus more traditional narrower rolls. This article presents our findings, which demonstrate installation of traditional roll width in a mechanically attached format is faster than the wider-width rolls.

Ronald McDonald House Columbus, OH

The Ronald McDonald House is a national nonprofit that creates spaces for families to stay while their children receive medical care. As Dee Andrews, the executive director of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio explained, “The Ronald McDonald House is a home away from home for families who have a child in the hospital.”

The House under Dee’s care is located just across the street from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and stays open all year to keep families close in times of need.  

Recently, the nonprofit determined that it could help more families if they expanded their operations. Before they even started stressing about the costs and logistics of the undertaking, IB Roof Systems jumped on board.
