Drivers:

• Cost Savings: Retrofitting avoids full tear-offs, reducing labor and landfill fees.
• Minimal Disruption: Buildings remain operational during membrane application.
• Tax Incentives for Roof Upgrades: Incentives encourage investment in energy-efficient systems.

Challenges:

• Structural Compatibility Checks: Older roofs may require reinforcement or remediation before application.
• Moisture Management: Trapped moisture in the old roof can compromise adhesion and durability.
• Unclear Warranties: Retrofits sometimes fall into a gray area for manufacturer coverage.

Opportunities:

• Targeting Retail and Industrial Warehouses
• Partnerships with Facility Management Firms
• Smart Roof Retrofit Packages with Monitoring Systems

Trends:

• Use of self-adhered systems in occupied buildings
• Retrofit coatings over existing membranes as interim solutions
• Thermal retrofit bundles (insulation + membrane)

Conclusion:

Retrofits are a high-growth opportunity for the U.S. single ply membrane market. With the right technical approach, they deliver strong ROI and extend building lifespan while aligning with sustainability targets.
