Snarfburger — PVC KEE Roof Replacement in Boulder, CO
Project Overview
- Location: Boulder, CO
- Building Type: Restaurant
- Size: 600 SF
- Roofing System: PVC KEE Membrane — Rib Profile
- Duration: 2026
- Project: PVC KEE Rib-Profile Roof Replacement
- Our Role: Installation (Rhino Roofing LLC)
- Animal fats from restaurant fryer exhaust degrading existing asphalt shingles
- Asphalt and TPO break down under grease exhaust exposure
Evaluation & Approach
Grease exhaust from the fryer hood was degrading the existing asphalt shingles — animal fats from restaurant exhaust break down asphalt and TPO over time. Rhino Roofing LLC installed 600 sq ft of PVC KEE membrane with rib profile: a grease-resistant system rated for restaurant exhaust environments, with ribs that deliver a standing-seam metal look on this sloped, highly visible roof. PVC KEE stays flexible in Colorado freeze-thaw cycles and resists the fats and oils that destroy other single-ply membranes, making it the correct spec for restaurant roofs.
Why This Approach
- PVC KEE membrane is grease-resistant — rated for restaurant exhaust environments
- Rib profile delivers a standing-seam metal look on a sloped, highly visible roof
- PVC KEE stays flexible in Colorado freeze-thaw cycles
- Resists the fats and oils that destroy asphalt and TPO
