A common query we receive at our Technical Office in Clay Cross is that the Roofing Contractor is having trouble welding the PVC membrane and that it must be a product issue!

In both cases the reason for the PVC membranes not welding are either due to inadequate membrane storage or inadequate membrane preparation.
