- Uses less glue than EPDM membrane
- Can be recycled
- Thinner than EPDM membrane

Advantages and distinctive characteristics
- Lasts up to 35 years
- Resistant to temperature fluctuations
- Can be installed during hot or cold weather
- Requires little, if no, maintenance
- More expensive than asphalt.
