List two important limitations of single-ply roof (SPR) membrane over built-up roof (BUR) and modified-bitumen roof (MBR) membranes.

What will be an ideal response?


1. SPR membranes are far more flexible than BUR or MBR membranes; so they can withstand much larger
expansion and contraction stresses?an advantage in climates with large annual temperature variations.
2. A typical SPR membrane is much thinner than BUR or MBR membranes and hence lighter in weight. Therefore,
they are available in wider and longer rolls than BUR or MBR membranes. Hence, they can be installed to cover a
larger roof area in the same time duration.
