TYPES OF COMMERCIAL ROOFING SYSTEMS

Built-Up Roofing- Built-up roofing, or a BUR roof, is the standard tar and gravel roof. It consists of multiple layers which bolster the strength of the system. BUR is a low or no-slope roof system, a perfect choice if you need a durable and less expensive option.

Metal Roofing- Metal roofs are a popular choice for commercial roofing. They are available in a variety of materials, including metal tile sheeting, stainless steel sheets, corrugated galvanized steel, silicon and stone-coated steel, copper, zinc, clustered aluminum, tin, and more.

Metal commercial roofing is durable and comes with higher fire-resistant ratings. There are often protective layers to stop rusting and damage from UV light exposure and from the elements. Also, they are attractive and create a more sustainable look for your property.

Modified Bitumen Roofing- Or, mod-bit roofing, is a modified bitumen commercial system that consists of layered roof fabrics and bitumen. It is connected to rooftops as two-ply systems to make sure there is maximum protection and stability. Modified bitumen roofs are easy to take care of and offer more tensile strength than other commercial flat type roofs. It is a great choice of a commercial roof if you anticipate a lot of traffic.

EPDM Roof Membrane Thermoset roof-  Also known as EPDM roofing, is a versatile, durable, and easy to take care of choice compared to other kinds of commercial roofs. Built from a single-ply rubber material, it is simple to install and is highly resistant to ozone and UV light. EPDM roofs are also resistant to most solvents, alcohol and acids. They are flexible in colder temperatures, and reflect heat which can cut down cooling expenses.

Thermoplastic or PVC & TPO- Roof Membrane Poly Vinyl Chloride and Thermoplastic Polyolefin roofs are just right for second generation applications. They are light in weight, resistant to ultraviolet light, also punctures, nearly all chemicals and bacterial growth, and are highly reflective. PVC and TPO commercial roofs are perfect for restaurants, hotels, and businesses that release oils from their exhaust systems.

Green Roofing Systems- Green roofs have risen in popularity in recent years and are a sustainable choice for properties. They improve efficiency and effectively manage water and drainage. They consist of an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally compatible roofing material.
