What is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Roofing?
Polyvinyl Chloride, commonly known as PVC, is a thermoplastic single-ply roofing membrane engineered specifically for commercial flat and low-slope applications. PVC membranes are manufactured with plasticizers that maintain flexibility throughout the material’s life, along with stabilizers that enhance UV resistance and longevity. Available in white, gray, and tan colors, PVC membranes typically range from 45-mil to 80-mil in thickness, with reinforced options featuring polyester scrim for added strength and dimensional stability.
Recent project
Northrup King Building Roof Restoration
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (August 20, 2025) — Endurance Exteriors, the Twin Cities’ trusted leader in premium roofing solutions, has completed a full ballasted roof replacement at the historic Northrup King Building, a cornerstone of Minneapolis’ creative and industrial heritage.
This project highlights the advantages of a ballasted roofing system. Offering stability, energy efficiency, and durability ideal for large commercial properties. Endurance Exteriors ensured the Northrup King Building remains protected against Minnesota’s toughest weather while preserving the integrity of this 102-year-old landmark.
Benefits of Commercial PVC Roofing
PVC roofing delivers exceptional performance characteristics that address the unique challenges faced by commercial facilities. The superior chemical resistance of PVC makes it the ideal choice for buildings exposed to oils, greases, and other potentially damaging substances. Restaurants, food processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and buildings near industrial areas benefit tremendously from PVC’s ability to withstand chemical exposure that would degrade other roofing materials.
Fire resistance is a critical consideration for commercial properties, and PVC roofing excels in this area. Most PVC roofing systems achieve Class A fire ratings, the highest classification available. This superior fire performance can potentially reduce insurance premiums while providing invaluable peace of mind for building owners and occupants.
The hot-air welded seams of PVC roofing create permanent, watertight bonds that are stronger than the membrane itself. This welding technology eliminates the vulnerabilities associated with adhesive-based seaming systems, providing unmatched leak protection even in the most challenging weather conditions. Wind uplift resistance is exceptional, making PVC an excellent choice for high-rise buildings and properties in hurricane-prone or high-wind regions.
Energy efficiency translates directly to operational cost savings. The highly reflective surface of white PVC membranes can reduce cooling costs by 20-40%, depending on your facility’s location and usage patterns. This energy performance helps commercial buildings meet LEED certification requirements and comply with increasingly stringent energy codes.
Longevity is perhaps PVC’s most compelling attribute. Properly installed and maintained PVC roofing systems regularly exceed 30 years of service life, with some installations performing well beyond 40 years. This exceptional durability provides superior lifecycle value compared to alternative roofing systems.

The Langdon Building – Downtown Minneapolis
One of our most notable projects was the re-roofing of the historic Langdon Building in downtown Minneapolis. This landmark property required a solution that balanced modern efficiency with historic integrity.
Our team carefully removed the aging roof system and replaced it with a high-performance flat roof designed to handle heavy snow loads, drainage challenges, and insulation requirements. The project was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to tenants and businesses.
The Northrup King Building – Northeast Minneapolis
Another key project was the replacement of the roof at the iconic Northrup King Building, a hub for art studios and creative businesses in Northeast Minneapolis. This large-scale property required a durable, low-maintenance solution, making a ballasted roofing system the ideal choice.
The system was designed for stability, energy efficiency, and long-term protection against Minnesota’s harsh weather. By integrating proper drainage and insulation, we ensured the building could continue serving hundreds of tenants while reducing the risk of future maintenance issues.
